RoYAL REcIPIENrs.


To the above interesting ais we may
add few more, gathered chiefly from a
bull of Benedict XIV on this subject. It
appears that some writers attributed the
first origin Of the rose to St Leo TX, but
the learned Benedict proves that the Gus
tom was still more ancient, though he de-
clares the origin cannot be discovered The
most ancient gift of the rose, after the time
when it used to be given TO the projects of
Rome, is that made by Urban II in 1896 to
Fulk, Count of Anglers, after the council of
Tours. The first lady to receive it was
Queen Joanna of Naples IN 1868 from the
last named pope, who also gave one to the
bs.silica of st. Peter.
1t would be impossible to repeat the long
list of recipients (Which may he seen in
Moroni). We may select just a few Mar

King of England: Nicholas V to the EN-
press Eleanor (1452); Innocent VIII in 1886
TO King James III of Scotland; Alexander
vi to Queen Isabella of Spain, 1893, and
next year to the Sanctuary of Our Lady Of
Hal, in Flanders; julius ii to Henry VIII
of England, who received it yet twice
again, from Leo X and Clement VII

rine de Mediei; Julius III Q555) to Queen
Mary of England; Gregory XIII in 1884 to
the Sanctuary of Loreto, as also Sixtus Y
Once more the rose came to England in
1925, sent by Urban VIII to Queen Hen
rietta About this time it became usual
to bestow it on queens and princesses.
Venice, or its doges, received the rose
about six times, the last time from Greg
DRY XVI in 1888. Plus TX gave it to his
goddaughter, Maria Pia, daughter of King
Victor Emmanuel, afterward Queen of
Portugal, and in ls49 to the Queen of the
Two Sicilies, whose daughter he baptized
at Gaeta-London Tablet.

port OF the argument that critics cannot

large audience though when they sang

ulous scene IN the barber shop was
unanimously rated as funny. Il was .
kind OF fun that need not be analyzed.
j. L. McAipin the comedian who
heads the cast sings some topical
songs with confident air and pleas

barber presents all that the lines will
allow him, and arouses his auditors to
laughter. George Gale defines girl

butcher boy, catches on firmly with his
acrohatlc movements and rope dance.
Dolly Foster McAipin is just a. the
play bill describes her, cute. Her
presence is altogether pleasing, and
her vocal efforts were deserving of the
marked attention and applause with
which they were received. The united
presentation of medleys, dances and
sketches is the most enjoyable portion
OF "A Soap Bubble" II Is but just To
