true that the kings enthusiasm for Italian
painting was unbounded and that he not only
imported many pictures and other objects from
the Peninsula, but invited like Leonardo

enable them largely to form the taste of his
time. But that taste happened to be his taste

Nine. Sembrich- at Villa Marcella is
the title of a particularly interesting
article in the May Delineator. descrip-
tive OF the great singers life at her
home in Dresden. Germany. America
is well acquainted with the prima
donna, for each season her voice Is
heard here-and here alone; abroad she
does not sing in public. Much of her
time that is not given to America is
passed in her magnificent residence in
the Saxon capital. Here during a long
summer month she gives herself over
entirely to rest. singing not even a.
note, simply enjoying her home and
the companionship of Der husband.
Then comes excursions into the outer
world, for pleasure only. the most en-
joyable of which. in the singers eyes,
is four or six weeks ofmOuntain climb
ing in the TyrOl or in Switzerland.
Professor Stengl, her husband, is not
so enthusiastic over the mountains.
nevertheless they are a delightfully."-
mated couple. and it is he, an accom-
plished musician himself, that has de-
velOped her voice to its full power
Many other interesting features Of the
great prima donna's life are told in
Mr.. Kobbe's article, and the illustra-
lions are of special value.
