Romance in Real Life.

London Echo.
The beautiful and highly-cultivated
daughter of one of the proud old RO.
lpan mobiles, the Duke of Gallese, was
introduced 10 the Italian poet, SignOr
D'AnnunziO. Her kinsfolk never
dreamed that lady Of such great ex-
pectations and high birth could run
any risk by an intimate acquaintance
with man risen from the lower ranks.
The two walked and chatted toghether,
but while the young lady's friends sup
posed that she was talking of Intellect
usl matters it turned out that the con-
versation IF the interesting couple
turned in very different direction.
The Duke learned, to his horror and
anger. that his daughter had dared to
betroth herself to the poet. As mat
ter of course, he refused to give his
sanction to their marriage, whereupon
the lovers took the train to Florence.
where they were made man and wife.
This last step made the Duke so indig-
nant that he had a legal document
drawn up, by which he disinherited
his daughter; but the father and the
man Afterwards 70 far overcame the ar
istocrat in him that he settled upon
her for life yearly income of 5000
lire. The story has since obtained an
almost tragical completeness by the
separation of the Duke from his own
wife. He accused her of having Sc
cretly favored the cause of DAnnun-
zio. and of allowing the lovers to hold
interviews after che father had prohib-
tied all further intercourse between
the two. He has consequently broken
up his household in Rome, made a
settlement upon his duchess, and de-
clared that be will henceforth live and
die as if he had neither wife nor child
Odd Hats.
1t is a good thing for merchants
that beauty is only matter of fancy,
and what one woman dislikes another
dotes on. Else the hats and bonnets
now considered most stylish would
stand but a poor chance of approval.
Some of them are decidedly ugly. Of
course it lie al right, but it seems out
of taste to bind the rolling brim of a
felt hst with black lambs wool and
have crown band of velvet and OF
toman, while the hat is trimmed d.
rectly in front of the high crown with
cockade of black ostrich tips, two
yellow-headed, black-winged and tailed
birds, two brown wings and cream
bird of paradise.
Perhaps some may admire hat
with crown of drab cloth scolloped
brim of green shirred velvet headed
by coil and loop of green velvet. and
trimmed in front with two brown
chickens heads, with brown and drab
wings, and an aigrette and an orange
wing on one side of the chickens heads
and a cluster of loops in orange color
ed velvet on the other side.
A hat to be remember ed had a very
broad, turn down brim Of plain black
velvet, with high steeple crown formed
of or covered with colered velvet, put
Oh inside plating and finished on brim
with folds of the corded velvet, which
seem to hold in place a large. yellow.
headed brown and black bird. High
up on the pointed crown and at the
side five full black ostrich tips are ar
ranged and give unique finish to this
hat.
Some of the color combinations
strike one unpleasantly, such as a
coral pink plume ON dark garnet vel
vet, low crowned hat, and quite as OBJ
jectionable is bonnet of green velvet
trimmed with tips and aigrettes of a
most peculiar yellow shade of a very
| fashionable color.
