A MUSICALLY TALENTED CARDINAL
In Boston, United States, one day, the Catholic Women’s League held a meeting at which a tenor of the Opera there was to sing, but his accompanist had not come. This was so much the worse because he had to transpose the song, and any pianist coming along might not be able to do this satisfactorily. The singer was about to withdraw, to the despair of the ladies, when the Cardinal Archbishop of Boston arrived, and in the most gracious manner saved the situation. ‘‘As we are amongst friends,” lie said, “and as it were enfamile, I will play the accompaniment.” Tlie American papers mentioned, afterwards, the success obtained by the Cardinal, who thus made his musical talentadmired in public for the first time.
