DISAPPOINTED IN HOME-
Sister of Pope
Pius X
Venice.
Long to Return to
The three sisters of Pope Pius X,
who lived with him in Venice, and
who arrived at Rome Sept. 7, have
not found in Rome quite what they
expected. Not that they had any
formulated desires, but the sisters
thought they could not fail to be
certain of resuming their intimate
relations with the Pontiff, while to
their unaccustomed eyes all is for
mality. They shrunk from the
curious glances cast at them when
they went all over Rome. The
sisters, hosvever, could see no
beauty in the ruins, having scarce
y heard of them. What they
liked best were the electric street
cars ana the new wide streets,
different from the narrow lanes of
Venice.
In the convent where the Pope's
sisters are stopping they are treated
with great respect and attention,
having their meals served in their
own aining room and not being
allowed to do anything for them
selves. No cracked collars at the Gem
Steam Laundry. Try us.
