IOKQUATo rI>>O'S LOVE.
A Story Which Has Ben Kspt Secret for
More Than Three Centuries

The following communication has been
sent to us. says the Beriiner Boereen-
Courier. concerning our notice of the
Dialogue OF Love-" the hitherto I'M
published work OF Torauato Tasso:
The volume has been published by
Roux. in Turin. The manuscript was
discovered at the sale of one of the larg-
est private libraries OF old Bologna. and
was written. undoubtedly. In 1872 or 18Th
1t contains a description of Tas<o's love
for Lucretia. the duchess of Urbino and
clears fully the mystery which before
concealed the motive for his sudden de-
parture or flight from the court of Fer
rara. as well as his equally sudden re-
turn.
The dialogue Is carried on by two
friends. Valerie and Camille. Valerie
loves a lady OF the court. Lucretia, but
cannot reach his goal lie therefore asks
Camille to say what he did to obtain the
favor of Donna Isabella. Camille then
gives his experience. He says that at
first neither requests nor prayers nor
threats helped his suit. Then ne re-
sorted to trickery. He climbed through
her bedroom window one night threw
himself at her feet. and threatened to
kill himself instantly IL she did not grant
him her favor. She yielded at first from
fear. later from love. The days passed
in undimmed happiness until fsabeila's
mother discovered that the young woman
was unfaithfui to her husband. The
mother tried to part the lovers. but when
she saw that the parting would break
her daughters heart. she relented, and
even encouraged their mutual attachment
But Isabella's mother was not the only
one who knew of the affair. Isabella'O
confessor learned all. and he sought to
punish the crime which the mother had
overlooked He refused TO give Isabelle
ahsolution until her lover should leave
the court. And Camille left With loves
longing and loves sickness in his heart
he remained for months and years far
from the court Isabella's picture was
ever before him. Isabela's face haunted
his dreams. and suddenly he appeared
again at court. Isabella received him
with all her former love. For what Is
the happiness OF heaven" asks Camille
compared with the happiness Of iove?'
with this plot is mingled good advice
or all sorts for lovers. and those who
wish to be lovers-advice which will be
accepted as thankfully to-day by the
public as il by Valerie, who. in OBJ
serving IL. eventually reached his goal.
That Torauato Tasso himself was Ca
milo. and the duchess OF Urbino was
Isabella IL virtually beyond all doubt
The fact IL evident In the many minute
details which mark the plot OF this fiery
work"

A Bridal Bouquet.

A German horticultural journal is
responsible for this story about bridal
bouquet: A certain schoolteacher in
the town of Konitz had ordered a bou-
quet for his wedding day, stipulating
that it should not cost more than
marks ($1), but not designating what
kind of flowers should be selected. 1t
was in the autumn, when hothouse
flowers were few and dear, SO the for
ist composed it of white dahlias, but
the bride and her family declaring that
these flowers were unfit for the purpose
the schoolteacher returned the bouquet
to its maker and refused to pay for it.
The florist then sued him, but the
position Of the schoolmaster was sus-
tanned in court, in accordance with the
testimony of experts in matters of taste
whom he had called in and who echoed
the opinion of the bride.
A similar result followed upon an
appeal to a higher court, despite the
testimony Of experts now summoned by
the florist, and the florist was ordered
to pay the costs of the suit, amounting
to 300 marks.
