A Cardinal Recention.

Which takes place In Rome generally
on the evening of the same day that wit
uesses his installation as a member of
the Sacred college, is a curious and
unique ceremony. It was the custom for
all the nobility of Rome, the diplomat
ic corps, and the distinguished foreign
visitors to attend IN uniform, or the
fullest of full dress, soIemnly to con-
gratuIate the newly-made cardinal. On
these occasions was to be seen a daz-
zlin ? array of diamonds, for which the
Roman princesses are wOrld-famous.
The ropes Of pearls Lothair no doubt
borrowed the expression from the mar
veIlous collection of the Princess c.
Forentine heiress married to a Ro-
man as highly renowned for his muni-
fcence as for his great taste the coro-
nets IN the shape of trembling wheat
ears, the antique brooches of ruby and
clasps of sapphire, each distinctive Of
some great Roman family, were here
seen in a profusion called forth by no
other social occasion. 1t IS certainly
q question that obtrudes itself on every
thoughtful mind, whether such a dis
play is suitable to the priestly Office of
the recipient Of such marks of honor,
and [ have heard with pleasure a rumor
TO tie effect that such receptions were
to be considerably modified, and no
longer to be graced by full-dress toilets
for the ladies. The cardinals and other
high dignitaries are all given to little
harmless sociability, and are to be seen,
according to custom, between the hours
Of and 10, in most Drawing rooms in
Rome. This is what is technically call
ed III prima sera, That Is, the first or
early part Of the evening. They are al
ways officially asked to every enter
tainInent, ball, Conversations, or con-
GERS, but at the former they retire into
adjacent rooms, and seldom appear in
the ballroom itself Elderly people,
whether ecclesiastical or lay, obtain
much more notice III the Roman salons
than they do elsewhere, where the de-
testable tone Of modern fastness has
ousted the spirit Of domestic enjoy
ment. I remember one Shrove Tues
dav night. when old ladies and gentle
men. whose grown-up and married
grandchildren were gathered around
them. danced an old-fashioned quadrille
among themselves, giving us the nm
uss1aI spectacle of the graceful little
conventionalities that separate old
time dances from the hoydenish seram-
] bles Of our own day GaiQEy.
