As the married pair did not get on very well, and as, after a childless union of four years, they agreed to separate, Demidoff was again received into the imperial favor.
In another establishment there were little busts of the Emperor and other high personages in Russia, cut in crystal and topaz. I saw a fine bust of Yermak, and another of the elder Demidoff, both in topaz. A crystal bust of Louis Napoleon was exhibited, and its owner told me it would be sent to the Exposition Universelle.
Of the eight examples in this gallery the earliest is probably the Dead Christ, presumably painted in 1472. The Demidoff altar-piece is dated 1476. In 1490 Crivelli was knighted by Prince Ferdinand of Capua, and from that date onward he was careful to add to his signature the title Miles as appears in our Madonna and Child Enthroned, with SS.

On the occasion of our first visit to his town-house the princess was painting in her studio, in which art she was more than a dilettante.

Delasalle are in the Luxembourg; other pictures in the collections Demidoff, Coquelin, Georges Petit, etc. At the Salon des Artistes Français, 1902, this artist exhibited the portrait of M. Constant and the "Roof-Maker."
In the evening of the day following that on which Jerome, recalled from exile, returned to Paris, he had vainly waited for his secretary, and feeling bored and lonely, went out. It was at the end of summer . He was staying at the house of his daughter, Princess Demidoff, which was off the Champs-Elysees.
