was rendered as three elderly ladies
and a girl, the pope's sisters and niece,
entered. They occupied a small tribune
by themselves as did likewise the white
mapteled masters of the Maltas and
knights.
In the meanwhile the eighteen new

Sistine Chapel, where, in the presence
of the Pope, the Sacred College took
The oath of allegiance prescribed by
the apostolic constitution, to which is
now added the oath not to veto the
election of any cardinal.
The pope's health preoccupied him
considerably and six medical advisers
visited him before the preconsistory
mass in private. DIR. Petacci, the Pope's
physician, was in attendance through

a cordial, but Pope Plus was deter

which was the pope's mitre, a cross
bearer and candle a and then the
Sacred College of Cardinals, walking
in twos, each followed by a train
bearer in purple and a gentleman in
waiting in black velvet with a gilt
sword.
There were more noble guards and
then came the pope. On each side OF
his chair were bearers of ostrich
feathers fabelli, while clerical digni-

Everyone knelt and all silently bowed
their heads as the pope raised his
hand and blessed the assemblage, his
lips moving in prayer, while silver
trumpets sounded. The choir burst
forth In the triumphial hymn "Tu Es
Petrus."
There followed more prelates ana

The pope took his seat on the throne

The cardinals then advanced sepa-
