FAMOUS PALACE RESTORED.
Visitors to Mantua, Italy, will now be able to see great Gonzaga Palace, tlie home of the famous Isabella d’Este. It is almost as it was 400 years ago when this famous beauty held sway over the most brilliant court in Italy. This longneglected palace has lately been restored. Isabella’s beloved “little study.” the secret garden, which was unearthed several years ago when a 17tli century building was pulled down, the great hall and some cabinets and rooms of unique artistic value are no longer hidden from visitors. They have been brought back to their original condition, and are better lighted than they used to be when too little daylight, penetrated into the rooms. Without spoiling the harmony, electric lights have been introduced, showing up the beauty of the interior.
