PARADISE FOR THE ARTIST
Devotees Of the Brush Are Accorded
Accommodations Without Price
at Inn at Capri.

Capri, beautiful in itself as a winter
resort, offers an irresistible invitation
to artists, since it has an inn where
anyone, by painting a picture on the
wall, can get free board.
To the lovely island of Capri, with
it's perennial summer, its blue grotto,
and it's lemon groves, came, some fifty
years ago, a ruined artist. He opened
an inn, and died rich. In his will,
leaving the inn to his heirs, he made
these conditions:
The charge per day, two bottles OF
red Capri wine included, is never to
be more than six francs.
IF any artist is too poor to pay he
shall paint a picture upon some wall
space, receiving all the accommoda
ton accorded to those paying the high
est price.
IF any German artist shall come
to the inn he shall be accommodated
and shall receive the amount of hi
fare to Germany upon his promising
never to return to Italy"
The inn is conducted today on thes
conditions. It's walls are covered witt
paintings. Now and then Germa
gets his fare home.
