ITALIAN KINGS
 HOME IS BLESSED
Ancient Catholic Rite Carried
 Out in Rome

Rome, April : Rp-Although the Roman Catholic church is technically
 at war with the Italian govern- ment. King Nictor's residence at Villa Savoia on the outskirts of the city had every nook blessed by the parish priest today in observance Of an old church custom.
 AS always on the Saturday before Easter. parish priests were kept busy today separately blessing every room Of the houses in their respective parishes. The priests were accom- panied by choir-boys. who carried holy water vessels and into this the faithful. after the benediction, drop- ped their offerings In the good old days" these were in gold, later in silver. then in paper money. and now again in silver.
 After 1870. when the temporal power fell, the royal residence and the parliament buildings were stern- ly excluded from this benefit but be- fore long the latter were forgiven" The first year Senator Farini. who "dS tAe CnalTman or the senate, or dered munificent donation to be given on the blessing of the senate chamber but the parish priest. after faithfully performing his duty in all other rooms, drew back and said:
 II can bless no room where laws against the church are made"
 The secretary Of the chairman gravely replied that in that case the senate could make no offering.
 At the quirinal palace the resi- dence of the sovereign, from which later the ban was removed, all the rooms were blessed with exception of the royal bed chamber. the offer inG-thiS time in gold-being given all the same.
 The present king. few years after his accession to the throne. left the quMinal palace, reserving it only for official receptions and went to 1.-Two in Villa Savoia, on the out skirts of the city, where the parish priest always blesses every corner, including the bedroom.
