ART LOVERS
VICTIMS OF A HOAX
Went to See Recovered "la
Gioconda," But Found a
Chromo-L ithograph.
Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.


PARIS. March 30. 1912.
There was tremendous excitement the
other day when the rumor was, spread
about that La Gioconda" had actually
been discovered In very good state of
preservation. Where had the missing pic
ture been found, was the question that
was eagerly asked on all sides. Why, at
a quiet little hotel in the Temple dis
trict Of Paris, was the ready answer.
Many people in their delight took the
first cab that was handy and hurried to
the Temple quarter without asking any
more questions. quite convinced that they
would discover the street and the house
as soon as they got there. Others, more
practical, waited for some particulars,
and learned that it was in the Rue du
Vert Bots, an old street near the Square
du Temple. that the wandering chef
d oeuvre of Leonardo da Vinci had found
q retreat.
Provided with this information, they re-
paired to the Metropolitan and were soon
on their way to the hotel, which is chief
y patronized by Italians. There was
quite a procession of reporters and pho
togra pliers, and when they introduced
themselves to the office of the hotel there
was smiling face to greet them. 1t was
modest ACKNOWLEDGMENT which had al
ready been smiling at the police officials
who had preceded the visitors there, and
it is smiling still.
How did this horrible mistake occur?
The answer is simple. A hotel waiter
called at the office of the local commits
sary of police, and, with considerable
mystery, informed him that the missing
picture was in room occupied by for
eigner. Aware of the importance of such
a discovery, the worthy official lost no
time in proceeding to the house with an
escort of several agents of the lava
wise precaution in these days of ready re-
course to the revolver. He entered the
office to ascertain the precise room in
which the ''Gioconda' was. and there she
was, smiling al him so sweetly: but I'M
fortunately from acknowledgement
which had been affixed to screen. Some
amateurs in their fury accuse the waiter
of having played a practical joke. But
the poor man, whose artistic knowledge
is of rudimentary kind, had really act
ed in good faith, he being under the i'm
preston that this was the genuine Clio
conda.'' and he is as bitterly disappointed
as any one else can be. AS for the house,
