In the paiace Is conducted, by the Prineipessa dl Valla inonte, a seminary' for young ladles. These young ladies all happen to be the daughters of rich Americans and •re In Italy for the purpose of securing as husbands real noblemen to whom money la more or less an object. She Is a crafty old soul and surrounds the place with an air of strict privacy, and, therefore, to the young ladles, of real romantic Interest. Near by the palace Is a canal on which the gondolas float. These, the gondoliers and the dusky Italian girls make a scene that Is satis fying to the eye. The* Prlnclj^ssa lm« a gtonddauffh' ter.
