Show Rather Ambiguous. George Seton, a London writer, has published a budget of anecdotes, one of which tells of a fashionable woman wom-an who appeared before Pope Leo in a very low-necked dress. His Holiness Holi-ness disapproved of the costume so strongly that he sent a cardinal to remonstrate re-monstrate with the wearer. The messenger made this rather ambiguous ambigu-ous explanation: "The Pope, my dear madam, 13 ra,tkgr old-fashioned, you know, and dislikes seeing any lady in evening dress. I, on the other hand, who have spent six years of my life as a missionary among the cannibals, am quite used to it." |
