Wedding Bells.
Miss Julia Abb. sister of DIR. Ru-
dolph Abb, one of the most prominent
Italians of the city surprised her
friends by being quietly married last
week to Mr.. James Abb. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. Father
Piccoli. Tuesday, June II, at Mount
Carmel church. There is much of ro-
nance in this wedding, as the bride
and groom were born near each other
in sunny Italy, and as children We're
fnseparable companions. but before
reaching school age the boys people
moved to another part Of the country
and the young people met no more for
nearly twenty years. Six years ago
Miss Abb came to Denver and made
her home with her brother, DR.. Abb,
at 1I77 Vine street She Immediately
became a great social favorite because
of her beauty and charming manners,
and at a little gathering not long after
her arrival Mr.. James Abb, who was
visiting friends in the city, met her
and the old friendship was renewed.
