Believed to Have Seen Painted About
1850 by Celebrated Holland
Artist.

When Christopher Columbus was
dallying at the court Of Ferdinand
and Isabella, it is quite likely that
he inspected and admired a painting
that changed hands in New York a
short time ago.
IL is another Of Roger van der
Weyden's little masterpieces. A sim
pular coincidence about its sale is
that the price was $4,000, the same
as that received by Sir Edgar Speyer,
as announced, for the portrait lent
by him to the Metropolitan Museum
Of Art.
The purchaser in the latest trans
action is Michael Dreicer. "Christ
Appearing to Mary" is the subject
of the picture. The virgin is seated
in an ornamental doorway. Her face
expresses poignant sorrow and pity
as her son, arisen from the tomb, APP
pears before her. The valley of
Gethsemane, with glimpse Of his
resurrection, is seen beyond a shad-
owed courtyard. Scenes from the
life of Christ are depicted sculptural-
ly on the archway surrounding the
principal figures.
The picture was painted about
1850, when the painter went to Rome
as the guest of the pope. 1t is known
to have belonged to Queen Isabella
Of Spain at the time when she
pawned her jewels to equip Column
bus for his voyage of discovery.

BEYOND HER REACH.

1t was at concert in the village
schoolhouse. The budding soprano
before she began to sing apologized
for her cold. Then she started:
T'n hang my harp on willow
tree-e-ahum-on a willow tree-e-e-
O." Her voice broke ON the high
note each time. Then a voice came
from the back of the hall:
"say, Liz, you'd better hang it on
a lower branch"
