| pleasing information that one of the counts
| horses had won the great steeplechase the
| day before. The counts mother, the Count
ess Frankenstein, and his sister and her hus-
band, Countess and Count Solderini were in
| Rome to welcome them also. In the mean
| time, while all seems to be going so well
with the couple at their Italian horne, their
friends here are much disquieted by the in
formation that the counts title is only one
of courtesy, conferred by Pope Leo Kill,
and that in all the ordinary transactions Of
life the happy individual who won such a
pretty American bride is plain Mr."

not count very much In this country, ex-
cept among an exceedingly limited circle

| really makes precious little difference in
| these stern, practical days.
