with the strains of the dance music
beating In his ears.
On his way upstairs he stopped on
a landing which led to a balcony
which overlooked the dining room.
Heavy red velvet curtains were draped
back on each side of the entrance,
and there were three or four deep
velvet chairs drawn back from the
railing. In one of these chairs. crum-

Decoration Of the Golden Rose.

While not precisely an order of CHI
valry or knighthood the Golden Rose
is a decoration bestowed by the Popes
on those whom they wish to honor.
II is formed of wrought gold. and Is
blessed by the Pope on the fourth
Sunday in Lent The rose is anointed
with balsam, fumed with incense, and
sprinkled with musk, and is placed on
the altar during mass. The golden
rose is usually presented to a Catho-
lie prince or princess as a token Of
papal esteem, with an appropriate
form of words. The custom of be-
slowing this decoration appears to
have originated about the thirteenth
century. Among the recipients have
been Henry VIII (who received 1t
three times). Mary of England, Maria
Teresa. Napoleon III. and Isabella II
Of Spain The golden rose is one of
the most ancient Of existing decora-
tions. and is much valued by its re,
cipients.

chairs beside her. He had talked with

then on the porches when the storms
OF the early spring abated a little and
made out-of-doors possible. She had
always seemed reserved, and this out
pouring came as a surprise
She seemed to feel that she had
said too much, and she apologized.
