lie was thrown into new channel
by the arrival in the courtyard Of an
Italian family in which there was a
handsome, authenticated girl, who
sang az a ballad singer. The father
played hurdy- gurdy, the mother made
lace, and o boy performed divers gym
nastic feats. The girl had q fine
voice. Her father wanted q new coat
and asked the elder Elem to make It
and Nine. Elem to take in a part Of
, the family as dodgers. She took in
the boy and girl.
The latter lifted the future painter
out Of himself with her Venetian songs
and accounts Of the glorious city to
which she hoped soon to return. Her
name was Caterina. When she went
away Elem felt miserable. He lost
spirit and could not shake OF the sort
Of paralysis that had seized on all his
faculties. At last he determined
with the help Of his needle and his
talent, as he thought, Of portrait paint.

Of going down by water to Marseilles,

ers and tourists. The former helped
him to enlarge his artistic culture, and
the latter took him about as a guide.
But Caterina and Venice lay on his
heart, and no took the bold resolution
Of going on foot to the CITY OF his
dreams. He 50 fell In love with IT the
frst day he went oa the Lido that he
did not break his heart when he heard
that Caterina had not turned up, but
had gone to Paris to serve as q model.
