A unique fan, with vellum leaves richly decorated in embossed gold, is one of the possessions moscherished by Adeliua Patti. Several European Sovereigns have written sentimentsas well as their autograph? on the leaveß. The Czar wrote, 11 Nothing brings peace like your songs." Queen Victoria added ti her autograph, •• If what King Lear be true, • a sweet voice in woman is precious gift,' you, dear Adelina, art the richest of women." William 1., Emperor of "Germany, put, " To the nightingale of all time." Queen Christina. " To the Spaniard whom a queen is proud to count among her subjects."
