MOST FAMOUS OF PALACES
Building Constructed by BruneIeschi
for Count. Pitt Is the Glory
of Florence, Italy.

No country is richer in beautiful
palaces than Italy. In most instances
these have now become the property
Of the nation, so that the taxpayer is
indirectly responsible for the general
good while preserving their dignity
and safeguarding their treasures
Throughout Italy, from Turin to Paler-
mo, these monuments to the genius
of the Middle ages are to be found,
but perhaps none is SO famous as the
Pitt palace at Florence, built upon
bill above the ArnO with the beauti-
full Boboli gardens stretching behind it.
Count Pitt, chief magistrate Of Flor
ence in the fifteenth century, desiring
to outrival Cosimo de- Medici, set him
self to build palace which should
be the wonder of Italy. He employed
the architect BrunellescM, whom
Cosimo when building bis own palace
had passed over because Of his magnif-
icent disregard for expenditure, and
Brunelleschi was given free hand.
Pitt, however, fell into disgrace for
plotting against the son of GOsimo
and no workman could be found to
continue his, half-completed palace.
Thus for century 1t was to remain,
until Eleanor of Toledo once more
took it in hand and it became-oh,
strange irony THE home of the Medi-
cean grand dukes. The Pitt was not
actually finished until 1882 The sight
seer is aware as he wanders through
this vast building today, and gazes
at It's walls lined with five hundred
pictures, most of them masterpieces,
that he is rather in royal palace than
picture gallery, and he doubts not
the truth of Macchiavellis verdict,
that the Pitt palace lis greater and
more splendid than the house, of any
other private citizen whatsoever"

police, had kept hot an unremitting

Thursday night, happening to be in

advantage of the opportunity, and
drop in on her for pot of hot tea and
a word of good cheer.

wooden staircase, and so to her door,
when suddenly, just opposite the win
dow he stopped still and stood as

himself and the door. Get Out,
