"'Have you Teen the frescoes in the Borgia apartment by electric light?" is the question of the moment in the leder, *al City. Those who have answered it in the negative, says the Rosary ,Magazine, hasten to repair the omission and find that the reality surpasses their expecta- tions—which though usual in fiction is rare in feet. They were always worthy of admira- tion—these richly decorated, lofty rooms, where the events and episodes of a long iburiel past clamor for remembrance— but it has been reserved for the finger of modernity to bring to light some of their hitherto unrevealed beauties. In the daytime, by reason of their as- peet, it is soinewitat difficult to realize their exquisite color]ng, but at night the clear yet subdued radiance of electric lamps shines down upon the matchless tints of Pintiiricehioee frescoes. and it is then especially that the I3orgii atmos- phere becomes athing to be felt.

Stubbs when he started out on Itis campaign eight months ago was entertained at a Kansas home where salt rising bread was serv- ed. eryed. It was like the salt rising bread his grandmother used to make. When he came home from a trip he called his daughter, Lenora, into the study and closed the door. Just what the Governor -elect said ,to itis daughter is not known except that they entered into a little private con- traet whereby Lenora was to learn to make him salt rising bread and in turn the father was to give her a valuable present. The result of it all is that Miss Stubbs went to work at her task.
