The Vatican which pregerves in its life and ceremonials so /many picturesque customs and ancient ways of doing things for a long time sternly forbade the use of automobiles by cardinals and other ecclesiastics. Funeral looking carri- ages drawn by black horses conveyed the cardinals to and from the fane- tions at St. Peter's or to their visits to the Pontiff in the Vaticdn palace. Now several of the cardinals, includ- ing the English Cardinal Gasquet, have motor cars which convey them everywhere. . Not so long ago the attendants in 'Elizabéthen ruff and doublet and sword who marshal the spectators to their places in the great vatican fun- ctions, did not allow' the use of ope- ra glasses to watch the wondrous 'scene.
