TO lose none of the attractions and pleasures
that Italy could afford, and during their
honeymoon they c,ntrived to accumulate
q mountain of debt to the amount of

clal feat the young couple bade adieu to
the sunny land, and sought seclnsion amid
the fogs and mists of London. 1t is thought

ber of their creditors have started for Eng
land to ersuade them to return TO the
