For ten years Spalding has lived in Florence, in

since those earlier days in his native America he
has worked abroad, taking of the best masters In

And Immediately after the wedding Count Boni
started on a great and extended burst of enjoy

other millions went for valuable tapestries ana
paintings, 100000 was spent in a single night on
a grand fete in which coo coryphees chorus men
and women and musicians took part
The count went spending vast sums from the
