alasl are decorative commonplaces at
his eminence's.
A cardinals post is no sinecure.
From morn till nightfall the bell at his
door rings ceaselessly. Grievances have
to be redressed, cases of conscience to
be inquired into, visitors to be given
audience, and visits to be returned.
Then there are meetings to attend at
the Vatican and other meetings may be
at the Propaganda, to say nothing of
the routine obligations of all bishops,
the praying, preaching, pontificating,
and giving of benedictlons. How some
eminences find the time for all their
work is constant marvel to the writer.
And the strangest part is, that not only
do they do the work, but they somehow
manage to be gracious, good tempered,
and polite in doing it. A Roman car
dinal, take him for all in all, is one of
the finest gentlemen breathing. How
ever early it may be, or however late,
| if you have any serious claim upon his
time and attention you are sure Of
a courteous hearing. There are certain
shades of difference, of course, be-
tween the courtesy extended to one
visitor and another, but the humblest
gets more ciyility than one dares to
hope for at the hands OF Italian Gov
eminent tgppiegGti, telegraph clerks,
or Custom-house officers. The approach
to his eminenceis usually made through
three ante-rooms. The paper on the
walls in room No. may be Prussian
blue. No. will perhaps be pa
pered with yellow ochre, and No.
~ with nice quiet magenta.
According to your importance,
you are ushered into the first, second,
or third room, the last one Chat near

reserved for very high dlgnitaries :
princes, ambassadors or bishops. The
fourth room, in which you will proba-
bly, find his eminence, IS likely to be
furnished with very loud gilt and GRIM
son. 1t invariably contains bad por-
trait of his present holiness, and often
another of his late holiness Plus TX. If
you are Catholic you kncel to the
cardinal and make show of kissing
his fingers. If you are hereto the
obelsance is dispensed with, and his
eminence usually gives you his hand,
with pleasant smile. Strict etiquette
requires that you should not depart till
n hint of dism ssal has been given you,
and you may roughly know what esti-
mate has been set upon you by watch
ing whether his eminence escorts you to
the door on leaving or simply bids you
farewell where he happens TO be sit
ting.
In the afternoon the cardinals gen
orally get little rest. But the hour of
the cave Maria brings the bell-ring-
ing and the visitors again. Often when
vulgar mortals, having digestcd their
dinners, are drowsily thinking of bed,
