Who was Amelia?
The beautiful widow of Count Giummi

was the aunt of the Countess and the
mother OF Amelia. and the poverty
which surrounded her was the sole in

Countess Giummi. rich. admired and
courted by the fine flower OF aristo-

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y. June Miss
Minnie Grifiths, of this village, was to
have been married last evening to
Samuel Roberts, OF New York, but for
some unexplained reason the wedding
did not come off.
Every preparation had been made by
Miss Griffiths for the ceremony. which
was to have been performed at the resi-
dence of Archdeacon Van Kleeck. Of the
Episcopal diocese. Miss Griffiths ar
rayed herself in her bridal costume, and
some Of her relatives and most in

for the bridal party to arrive.

never frightened with lively color. and
his eyes often glistened as II with re-

He welcomed sympathy SO eagerly
that II appeared as II he sought her as
II he came solely for her sake. And
they soon talked freely together. After
their first meeting. which was full OF en-
barrassment to both OF them, they
passed all the reception evenings OF
the splendid Countess together. Amelia
