~ Tally Is known to most persons as
land of extreme poverty. There
is. of course. the other side to 1t,
and 1t is this other side that Is
sumptuously presented in italian
Castles and County Seats" by Try
phosa Bates Batcheller
Mrs. Batcheller has had most unus-
ual opportunities for getting acquaint-
ed with Italy. She had the entree to
scores Of homes of Italian noblemen.
and her book-made up of letters writ
ten home-is an account of journey
ings from one beautiful villa to anoth-
er.
In Rome. where she called on the
queen. she brought some presents to
the royal children. The queen as.
sured her that the teddy bear she had
brought for the prince had made a
great hit. and that 1t was hard to get
1t out of the youngsters hand.
The queen mother invited Mrs
Batcheller to sing at the palace. The
program was an ambitious one of
classical music. At the end Queen
Margherita asked for 1.-The Last Rose
Of Summer" which sounds quite nat
ural.
In the course Of her journeyings
Mrs. Batcheller collected some inter
esting gossip. At dinner which she
gave in Rome she was disturbed as to
how to seat her guests. Finally she
placed former minister of foreign
affairs on her right and Count Grep-
pi. former ambassador to St Peters
burg. on her left. She apologized to
the count on the ground of un-
Familiarity with Italian etiquette. To
which he replied:
You have given me quite the place
you should have. But any place at
your table. dear madam, is a place
Of honor"
One OF her friends remarked that
"So-and-so" is one of the most re-
ligious persons in Rome. and the
greatest rascal"
But how il that possible7"' she in.
quired.
My dear signora, you must realize
that religion and morals have nothing
to do with each other"
That Incl lent recalls the older story
which she relates Of an inquiry made
by medieval pope as to how an Of
flcial kept the turbulent Sienese under
control. Without hesitation he replied:

Batcheller met must be included her

within his income while expanding
