of Rome, he is invested with the red
hat. which is his badge of office, at the
consistory following the first announce
ment OF his appointment. If he re-
sides, or is stationed elsewhere, as in
the case of Cardinal Satolli, it is usual
ly the custom to send notice of APP
pointment by a member of the Noble
guard, who, in most instances, Is ac
companied by an ALLOCATE, usually a
member Of the popes household. The
member Of the Noble guard bears with
him letter from the pope notifying
the new cardinal Of his appointment,
and the zuchetto and berretta, which
are to form part Of the cardinals ward
robe. They are expected to proceed on
their mission with all possible haste,
and as soon as practicable after the
appointment, the appointee Is invested
with the Zuchetto, and presented with
the notice of his elevation. 1t then be-
comes the duty Of the ALLOCATE to pub
licly crown him with the berretta, in
accordance with the ritual Of the Ro-
man Catholic church.
In the case Of Mgr. Satolli, the Noble
guard, the Marquis Sacripanti Is not &C
ccmpanied by any ALLOCATE, as the
pope commissioned Cardinal Gibbons
to confer the berretta.
Mgr. Cesare Roucetti was the able
gate and Count Marefonschi the mem
Der of the Papal guard, who came to
this country at the elevation Of the late
Cardinal McCloskey. The berretta
was imposed by Archbishop Rayley, the
archbishop of Baltimore. The cere-
mony was performed IN old St. Pat
rtck's cathedral, New York, on April
%, 1873, being preceded by solemn
pontihcal mass, celebrated by Bishop
Loughlin, OF Brooklyn.
Although Cardinal McCloskey was
made a member of the College Of Car
dinals by Pope Plus TX, he received
the red hat from Leo XIII. He was
summoned to Rome at the death of
pins TX. but did not reach there until
after the election Of Leo, from whom
he received his hat and his title OF San
ia Maria Sopra Minerva.
Tn the case of Cardinal Gibbons, Mgr.
Straniero and Count Mussiola were the
messengers from Rome. Archbishop
Peter r. Kenrick, Of st. Louis, Mo-, i'm
posed the berretta in the cathedral here
on June 80 1886, after q mass celebra-
ton by Archbishop Williams, OF Bos-
ton. The cardinal afterward went to
Rome and was vested with the red hat
and the title Of Santa Marie in Trasta-
we're.
Within six months after his investure
with the zuehette and berretta Cardinal
Satolli will, in compliance with his OIL
of the apostles, and the ceremony, which
makes him a full member Of the sacred
college, entitled to vote for Leo's sue
cessor, then takes place. This Is the
most important and interesting Of all
the ceremonies.
A cardinals wardrobe Is a most COM
plicated affair. He wears three colors
cardinal violet and old rose, and he
must have a complete outfit In each Of
these colors. The different colors are
prescribed for different seasons of the
ecclesiastical year. The red is worn
throughout the year, except during the
penitential seasons Of Lent and Advent,
when the violet Is worn, except the third
Sunday of Advent and except the fourth
Sunday of Lent, when the old rose Is
substituted.
The violet Is selected because of its
association with mourning, and on the
particular Sundays in which the old
rose Is used an occasion of rejoicing for
a day brightens the gloom Of the peni-
tential season. The red is chosen as the
distinguishing color of a cardinal. be-
cause his loyalty to the faith Is as
sumed to include Willingness to shed
his blood for it. :.
The red hat is a peculiar feature Of
the wardrobe of cardinal 1t is oddly
shaped, the brim being six feet across.
The material is cardinal beaver. 1t is
round and in striking contrast to the
immense fiat brim, Ia small. conicaI-
shaped crown, quite too small. appar-
emily, to fit anybody's head. But that
Is another queer feature of the red hat.
It is not intended to fit anybody's head.
