OUR AMERICAN AMBASSADRESS AT ROME

A recent portrait, by Zuloaga, of Mrs. John W. Garrett, wife of our Ambassador to Italy

■ Mrs. Garrett, partly because she is extremely paintable, and partly because she has lived in the four quarters of the globe, has been painted by a dozen European artists of distinction. Léon Bakst created two portraits of the charming American, and Ignacio Zuloaga three. Mrs. Garrett has always been an active patron of the arts. She has constantly added to her collection of modern French paintings and has, at various times, maintained an instrumental quartet and a small theatre in Baltimore
