Gay World.

A letter from Rome. describing the wed
ling in that city in July of Miss Alice Hor
witz, daughter of Mrs. Orville Horwitz,
formerly OF Baltimore, to Count Pietro
AndreCzzi. states that the marriage was
one of the most remarkable that has taken
place in Rome for long time. 1t says;
Count Pietro is a young Italian diiA,-
mat, whose future is full of brilliant prom
ise- He is intimately connected with the
highest powers OF both state and church In
Italy today. for he is first secretary in the
| ministry OF foreign affairs under his excel
lency, the Duke Caetani di scrmoneta,
He is the son of memb Der of that most ex-
elusive and aristocratic set or Vatican at
| tendants, the Guardia Mobile.
1T is the very first time that permission
has been granted by the Vatican itself for
the union OF Protestant, remaining u
Protestant. and n descendant. even so re-
iote. much less a son of a member Of the
Guardia Mobile.
1t was an utter setting aside OF strin-
gent Vatican rules, the giving of the per
mission for this marriage, and it was
an event of such deep importance as to
require Il special convOcaion OF the Papal
Senate or Council OF Cardinals and the
personal sanction OF Leo XIII. No mar
riage in Rome has approached this in
churcbly and political interest, except
that of the fair and stately young Prin-
cess Massimo, daughter OF Princess Eliza
beth Field Brancaccio di Frisiano year
ago or SO to the hei: of the noble Massimo
house, whose descent goes straight back
TO tue time of the PROTEST OF the Roman
emperors.
The bride, who was radiantly lovely in
her magnificent gown and Jewels, came
in leaning ON the arm OF her uncle, Mr..
Haller Gross. She was followed by her
mother with Count Andreozzi, Mr. Pom
sonby with the Countess Audreozzi, and
Mrs. Ponsonby with Don Luigi Del Drago.
While the bridal couple were taking their
places at the altar the limo di Nozze was
sung by Signor Franceschetto The cere-
mony was very soiemnly performed by
Padre Curato of ST. Andrea dele Frate.
''The wedding gown was OF rich ivory
white satin, frosted with exquisite point
d dAngleterre. The brides veil reached quite
to the hem of her long colrt train and was
fastened by a diamond tiara, whose fine
stones CLEANED like great drops of dew
among neautiful orange blossom sprays
About her neck she wore single string
Of superb solitaire diamonds-her mosh hers
gift-and at her breast an exquisite wild
rose and foliage spray in diamonds, a gift
from the parents of the groom. The grace
full shower bouquet she carried was OF her
favorite gardenias and white jessamines"
