THE ENGAGED IN ITALY. The be-
throthed in Italy are never left alone
for one moment. They must not even
sit side by side in company and a
third party must always take part in
their conversation. When out for n
walk they must not go arm in arm.
As for kiss not even the tips Of the
nails can be TOUCHED until after the
church and state have firmly bound
the poor lovers. This severity is nc
compliment to Italy. On the contra
