1T Is so seldom that the dover of the
bride does not occupy conspicuous
place in the preliminary arrangements
eff our international marriages that the
attitude of Don Marino Torlunia on this
subject is pleasant surprise. Don Ma
rino a Prince, and member of a distin-
guiShed, noble family of Italy, has Just
married Miss Mary Moore. daughter OF
Mr. Charles Moore, of Greenwich, Conn
When the Prince went to Mr.. Moore to
ask for the hand of his daughter, he
said he only wanted the young lady;
that if she had not penny he should
still desire to marry her; it was not her
money he was after. Mr.. Moore docs
not believe in International marriages.
but he was SO much pleased with the
manliness of the Prince. and by his evil
IDENTIFY sincere and diSintereSted affection
for his daughter, that he gave his con-
sent to the union. The wedding is a
pure love match. Miss Moore met the
Prince-he is also a Duke-in Venice
last Winter, and a warm attachment
soon sprang up between them The
Duke. who is about 40 years of age, is
very rich. His betrothal present was Il
magnificent diamond necklace, as wei!
as one of his family palaces. the Tor

many costly gifts to the bride, and when

the Dukes sister. the MarquiSe Torlonia,

bracelet of emeralds and diamonds hun
dreds of years old. OF course. she got
nothing of that sort from any one in
this country, but the number of costly

President Roosevelt, but were consider
ed impractical on account of the pro-
jections of the sculptures upon the
coins. These projections would make
it impossible TO handle the money con-
veniently in the banks. as coins cannot

and snug upon each other. pile OF the
proposed St. Gaudens coins would top

make SO much difference to the an
clients. who. according to our ideas, had
comparatively little money to handle
some, artistic coins, with bas-reliefs
higher than the rim, which was the
style of the ancient money. The Amer
lean Numismatic Society has been advo-
eating a more artistic coinage for the
last so years, and the recent act of
Congress authorizing a new coinage has
given opportunity for this. St. Gaudens
retained in his designs the general
characteristics of the old pieces. but
gave them an artistic realization.
