Love Wins OUT
Duke d'Abruzzi Finally Gains
The Kings Consent
s n,
to Marry

Washington, Aug. 12.-Miss Kath-
crime Elkins will wed the Duke of
Abruzzi in the autumn. That the
duke has overcome the objections of
his royal cousin, the king Of Italy,
against his marriage with the Amer
lean girl, and that the wedding will
take place soon, needs only the con-
frmation of the royal announcement
for In Washington inner society cir.
cles have been granted, by the friends
Of Miss Elkins and the duke, assur
anees that the match will take place
soon. ~
This practical confirmation of the
unofficial announcement Of the ap
preaching nuptials has come with the
news that the duke has been success
full in his pleadings with the Italian
royal family. The Italian king is
known to have been much opposed tC
the match, preferring a bride of royal
station for the possible next occupant
of the throne of Italy.
But that the alliance which the
duke proposes between the italian
royal house and the Elkins family OF
Virginia is a love match, is shown il
the persistency with which the duca
sutton has urged his right before his
royal cousin.
