Many men would thus be enabled to spend their New Year's Day in peace instead of rushing off before it is half over...

The strong heart of Anna is doubly hurt when she finds that her old lover whom she now had determined to accept, has forgotten her and also loves...
...felt that she needed the co-operation of two such powers as Germany and Austria. Then, too, her domestic affairs were in an unsettled condition. Opposite the Quirinal where resides Humbert of Savoy, King of Italy, stands the Vatican, that immense palace with its 11,000 rooms, the home of the Pope. The Pope had never yielded his claim to the temporal as well as the spiritual control of Rome, and was ill content with the privileges granted him by the Italian people. Some of his hot-headed adherents in other countries were even agitating the question of taking Rome...
