Away the Worlds Glory.") This Is done

usual, but before the tncensation OF the
altar the blessing of the pontif-e elect Is
pronounced by three cardinal bishopss

After the collects come the Audes. that
is the threefold supplications TO God Tor
the welfare OF the new pope.

the mass in the balcony over the portico
of st. Peters. overlooking the great
piazza. The second cardinal deacon takes
off the mitre. which until now the pope
has worn. and then the senior cardinal

satisfied to see hisself in the tops of
his shoes, but he wants the bottoms the

right, specially under the insteps, but
it goes kind o funny"

do nothing but sit around all day with
his feet in a window. He's a boarder in

to be on the square he has just the bot
