Munkaczy left Paris for his native
land last spring. with glowing plans
for a renewed career as the greatest
man in Hungary. Buda-Pesth was
eager to do Its share in realizing this
vision, but at the start there was q
cruel hitch. Munkaczy's health gave
way as soon as he entered Hungary.
He was forced to so to Baden Baden |
for the summer, without receiving |
much benefit, and now the Hungarian |
papers report that he is worse, and un-
likely ever to paint again.
The Archbishop OF Canterbury Is re-
ferred to as ''his grace" and he writes |
himself Archbishop, e+c., 'divina pro-
videntia," whereas other prelates use |
the phrase "dlvina permlssione." He |
rs the first peer in the realm. At cor
onations he places the crown on the |
head of the sovereigns, and the King |
and Queen are his domestic pariehion-
ers. The Bishop of London Is hia pro-
vincial dean, the Bishop of Winchester
his sub-deoD, the Bishop of Lincoln
his chancellor. and the Bishop of Ro-
chester his chaplain.
A subscription has Just been started !
in London. under the patronage OF the
Prince of Wales, which has for its aim
the restoration of the old church of
BurDham Thorpe. where Nelson was
baptized. and where his mother and
father lie buried. 1t Is the intention
OF the committee that has the sub.
scription in charge to have the win
dows of the church decorated with
scenes recalling the career OF the victor
of Trafalgar. During his life Nelson
often expressed a desire to be buried
at Burnham Thorpe, and nothing but
a command OF the King prevented his
body from reposing there, instead OF
beneath the beautifully sculptured
dome in 81. Pnul's Cathedral.
