Noble Daughter Of Italy.

Like the wing Of dove across a
red battlefield of hOrrid curses. the
form Of Vittoria Colonna, noble Ro-
man lady, glides across the terrible
horizon Of Lucretia Borgia. The two,
Lucretia and Vittoria, had the same
environment Of civic and social life In
Rome. The one drank lust and cor
ruptlOn; the other pure drops of
heaven. 1t was the era Of Michael An
gelo. The rising young genius In Rome
was painting the portrait Of Vittoria
Colonna. The portrait is like a nun
at vespers. Vittoria Colonna was Of
the distinguished Roman family Of
great antiquity, the "COlonna." She
was woman of brilliant parts, a poet
and scholar. Married at nineteen to
the duke of Aratos, after his death on
the battlefield in the Franco-Italian
wars she remained widow the rest
of her life. Her poems, "Rime Spir-
itual." have great charm. 1t was dur
ing her stay in Rome that she formed
the passionate attachment to Michael
Angelo that inspired many Of the
great sculptor's sonnets and verses.
She died at the convent Of San Sill
vestro, her soul like silver dove
winging away from the turbulent six
teenth century.-Chicago Journal.
