Transformation Complete.
To those who, living in Italy, can recall the
critical moments of the unfolding of the king
dom, or who were from the outside Geo
graphically accompanying in feeling the
movements by which Italy was made, the
Goth OF September Is like the crisis of the
plot OF drama coming In the fifth act and
relieving the tension of interest In its conduct
by the assurance Of happy ending. From
1913 we who loved the gracious land, mother
Of our civilization, nurse of our modern arts,
Of romance, kind stepmother Of all the muses.,
and heiress of all the wealth of antiquity,
have felt our hearts rise and sink in her Wis
cissitudes Of fortune, as, patient, persistent,
undismayed, she grew from what Charles Al
bert found her TO what Victor Emmanuel
left her-insulted, oppressed, thwarted by
dynastic and imperialstic greed, leaving her
martyrs by the way, and winning every day
more and more the sympathy Of the liberal
and liberty loving of all lands, until on the
day Of which this is the anniversary she rode

household, and in at the breach of the Porta

The new Rome which lies ON those hills and
on the plateau TO the north and northeast Of
the Rome of the last generation is, in the
modern sense, a magnificent city-wide ave-
nues, with massive, lofty houses-too much
like Paris, perhaps, to be appropriate to
Rome, but far filter for modern uses than the
gloomy and romantic palaces which form the
old city. Reared along narrow streets, whose
picturesque tortuousness was no compensation
for the want of air and light. they condemned
their inhabitants to the entire circuit of the
old wall called Of Belisarius. which is ON that
side now filed with modern houses or with
the scafrolding and preparations for them. so
that the Macao and the Campo Pretoria are
an expanse of construction and preparations
for construction. and the city has overgrown
its mural limits. and outside of the Porta Pia
and Porta Salaria it is encroachine ON the
Campagna. The Piazza de Termini, where
twenty-five wears ago the railway station
seemed a hardly tolerated intrusion ON the old
order of things. and where the artists used to
plant their easels undisturbed to sketch the
ruins of the picturesque baths, is now the
center of splendid quarter and the head of
the great Via Rationale, which vies with the
bouievards of Paris for splendid structures
and which still In prooyress IL destined To
