Frank Gowan of Myron Tay lor's office (The Personal Repre sentative of The President of the United States of America to His Holiness Pop Plus XII) had made arrangements for me to be received in audience by His Holiness and in due time official notification was left at the desk of my hotel, summoning me to the Vatican at twelve noon, Sat urday, Dec. 10. Naturally I was excited. From the day I received Mr. Gowan's letter of my acceptance my sto mach would act funny in the mid dle of meals. The day before the audience I gave up eating alto gether and what I had for lunch afterwards, I can't remember, I certainly couldn't taste It. ?ope Pius, as a spiritual leader of Catholics all over the world has no peer as a temporal power. Kings are Important but most ly within their own country and there are so few left with any country to rule that they have become mostly symbols and titl es of nobility. The Catholic church to the contrary is Increas ing In numbers each year and the whole world, even non-Catholic, looks to the Pope as repre senting the supreme being on earth for the Christian religion. He has no rival as no single per son now represents the Moham medan, the Hindu, the Confusi asts, the Buddhists, the Toaists or the Shintoists. At one time these religions were headed by men as prophetic as Jesus Christ, but now they have only priests and teachers; no one man leads any one of them. Depending on the degree if strictness of local entireties, lay the instructions different people gave me as to what to wear. Apparently Princess Margaret had worn complete black without make-up or Jewelry and I was told to do the same. Others said that the dress restrictions had slackened and just to wear street clothes. I called Myron Taylor's secretary that morning to be sure. No veil, but head covered, so I wore a hat with lots of veiling, a black tailored silk suit, by Fredrlckion's Photo Lab . this city, who plan to Elala Maria Col lint.

The bride attended school in Kansas and the bride groom was a student at the Can yonville Bible Academy. with long sleeves and no trim. I had black stockings so I wore them with black suede sandals, black gloves and bag. I wore my regular street makeup, lipstick, mascara and nail polish. Only the priesta and one French wo man with a young child were more severely dressed. I remov ed my gloves as a matter of course. I arrived at the Vatican pro per, which Is a complete unit on the outskirts of the city of Rome, but easily reached by bus or car. The city is walled and has gates with guards, closed at night. I entered through the gate on the right, walked under the Colun nade to avoid a dripping rain.

Third floor to me. I reach first floor (first above ground floor) and met with a number of people swathed in tired black draperies and lace veils, some edged with gold. As they were all just standing there and the stairway only went one floor above, I popped into the Secretary of the Camara (from whom my invitation had comet for directions. No one was in the first or second or the third little rooms, so I kept going until i saw a man resplendent in black with red and gold embroidery. He spoke English and I asked of him directions. He told me to follow him. He seemed very pleasant, cer tainly helpful, but a bit amused at my nervousness. The crowd outside the door separated tor him to pass and we went up the main stair case to a small landing, then through a door up and out onto a vast patio pav ed with small square stones. The rain had stopped but the water had settled between the stones. My guide walked straight ahead towards a door at the far side and into the building.
