Father Herber Thurston, S.J., deals with Mid-Lent Sunday on pp. 178-190 of his ' Lent and Holy Weekf (1904). At pp. 180-1 he sets out to answe the question of the origin of the rose coloured vestments worn on this day " ii our larger churches, "and writes as follows : " It does not seem possible to answer wit" absolute certainty, but I think that it is probabl to be traced to the ceremony of the blessing of th Golden Rose, which for some centuries past ha taken place on this day at the Papal court. I the essay which GL Cenni has devoted to th history of the Golden Rose he seems to sho conclusively that the use of rose-coloured vest ments is later than the time of Paris de Grassis who was Papal master of ceremonies in the reig Also Eldon Law Scholars. f Leo X. (1521).* Now the ceremony of the- jolden Rose is certainly many centuries older han this, and it seems in every way probable^ hough I am not aware that any conclusive vidence on the point has yet been produced, hat in the course of the sixteenth century a hade of light purple was by degrees adopted at Rome for the vestments of this day, which seemed o harmonize with the function peculiar to this ccasion. From the Papal chapel it presumably xtended first to the other churches in the city^ ,nd thence throughout the Catholic world. It hould, however, be noted that the use of rose- oloured vestments during Lent is not unknown Isewhere. At Milan this colour is employed for he Mass on the Saturday in Passion week, abbato in traditione symboli, as it used to be- sailed, because the Creed was delivered to the- atechumens on the great scrtdinium of that day. rlence it is possible that the Roman usage is lothing more than an outward manifestation of the- oy already abundantly indicated in the liturgy of Lcetare Sunday." JOHN B. WAINEWRIGHT. BOOK BORROWERS (12 S. viii. 208, 253, 278). Mr. W. J. Hardy, F.S.A., in his ' Book-Plates ' ,1897), p. 170, tells us of the use of the lines,. " If thou art borrowed by a friend," although be does not mention the name of their writer : " So far the ' caveats ' on book-plates have- been either original compositions or quotations,, specially selected by the owner ; but, as time- went on, people did not trouble to compose their' own verses or inscriptions or to hunt up appro- priate quotations. " The same lines or words appear fastened! beneath, or printed upon, the book-plates of many different persons : in the latter case the- bookplate is little more than a name ticket. " Here is one, composed early in this century,, which could be bought of C. Talbot, at 174 Tooley Street, and on it the purchaser could write his name before affixing it in his volumes : THIS BOOK BELONGS TO ' If thou art borrowed by a friend/ (fee., &c. W. B.
