While Cardinal Gibbons, then a Mon
sgnor, was living in Rome a few years
ago, he went to dine at the American Col
lege Dinner over, some bonbonnieres
representing hats of every description
we're passed around as souvenirs. The
waiter carrying the tray on which they
were stumbled just as he reached Mgr.
Gibbons, and a miniature Cardinals hat,
tie red tricorn, rolled from the tray into
the prelate's plate.
Count Cassel, who was a warm friend
of the Monsignor, saw the episode, and
leaning across the table, quoted the
maxim:

Everybody laughed, and so did the Mon
signor. but year later, when the dig

several recalled that dinner at the Ameri-
can College.
