plume like a fame. The country
was thigh deep in grass and spoke Of

David and his Katfirs built the

GIRL FLEES
WITH COUNT
Boston Young Woman, Relative
Of the Governor of the
State, Has ElOped.

BOSTON, Jan. 7.-Miss Mary Froth-
ingham Johnson, aged thirty-two, sis
ter-in-law of Governor Curtis Guild,
Jr., has eloped, it is reported, with
Count Orlandini Guidi, aged twenty
six, who for some time has been EN-
ployed here as a sewing machine
agent.
The couple were married in Provi-
dence. After obtaining a license at
the city registers office they proceeded
to st. Stephens Episcopal church,
where. they were married. The bride
telegraphed her father the facts.
Miss Johnson is a member of a
wealthy family and has always moved
in the most exclusive society circles.
Vittorio, or Count" Orlandini came
to Boston two years ago from Flor
ence, Italy, since which time he has
been engaged in teaching languages
and selling sewing machines. He Is
tall, pale and dark. He took rooms in
fashionable Mount Vernon street, and
his ingratiating manner won him an
easy entry to a number of exclusive
homes. He was a f%requenter at the
home of Baron Tosti, the local Italian
consul, and it was here that he first
met Miss Johnson. From the time of
their first meeting his attentions to the
wealthy young woman was conspicu-
Gus, and as time passed they became
constantly more marked.
An immediate obstacle was encoun-
tered, however, in the objections inter
posed to the counts suit by Miss
Johnson's family. 1t was in the hope
of breaking up the attachment by sep
aration and u change of scene, 1t is
said, that the young woman's father
took her Oh an extended trip abroad
last year.
