said the other day.
when I went to the Vatican TO see
the late Pope J was obliged to speak
With him kneeling. sometimes for more
than half an hour. With Plus X 1t is
different; he excuses you from kneeIing,
with a smile and gesture that seem
to say, Don't; it is not in keeping with
the times. He makes YOU sit down neaI
him, and not only wants you to have
your say. but he even provokes contra
dictiOns in o,der that he may know
both sides of the question
An audience with the new Pope is a
real treat instead Of a humiliating cere-
mony, and. then, you are not in danger
Of falling into disgrace for a misplaced
phrase or expression
The several secretaries OF the Roman

once or twice every week because OF
their Office, are unanimous IN praising
