JAPANESE OPENING

by the constant Offering OF new articles

leading hotels, their visits. which last
several days. generally coincidlng with
the arrival OF a Japanese steamer at

AS a matter OF fact while Japanese
products have been sold in considerable

Cardinal Gasquet's History.-Had
it not been for the war the History of
the English College in Rome, which
Cardinal Gasquet has written and had
hoped to publish before the recent
centenary, would have been ere now
in the hands of readers. The English
College may be said to be the lineal
descendant of two previous English
foundations-the Schola Anglorum
founded in 727 by Ina, King of the
West Saxons, who came to Rome after
his abdication in 725, and the English
Hospice for pilgrims, established on
the site of the present English College
in 1862. From very early times dis
tinguished persons, including Kings of
England, made the long and danger
GUS journey from their distant island
to the threshold of the Apostles. 1t
was with the approval of Pope Gre
CORY II. that Ina founded his School
of the English, in order that the Kings
of England and the Royal family with
the bishops and priests and clergy
might come to it to be instructed in
learning and in the Catholic faith"
Ina also built an English church, and,
according to Matthew Paris, founded
the institution of Peters Pence for
the support of the English in Rome"
the "Romescot" as it was called in
England. One effect of the Norman
conques. was to diminish the number
