AN AMERICANITALIAN MARRIAGE.

AN AMERlCAN-lTALlAN MAHklAuE'
The country just nowis being high
" entertained with many details and
particulars of the much talked OF
match between Miss Elkins, daugh-
ter of Senator Elkins, the millionaire
representative of West Virginia in
the United States Senate, and the
Duke of Abruzzi, brother to the King
OF Italy. Is seems that she Duke
succeeded in understanding the Amer
lean suitors OF Miss Elkins. either be-
cause he is duke or else perhaps be-
cause his ITALIAN was softer In the
wooing line than the Anglo-Saxon OF
the wooers on this side Of the ocean,
and then besides the duke is an ad-
miral and the buttons on his uni
forms may have appealed to the
heart of the fair Miss Elkins. At any
rate she is supposed to have accept
ed the duke conditionally. In other
words she proposed II she married
Abruzzi to become the Duchess de
Abruzzi not only in name, bus in
reality, and Miss Elkins wanted to
know whether she was TO become a
part OF the royal family or merely
the wife OF the duke. After much de-
liberation and mature consideration
OF Senator Elkins many million dol
lars, the last rebel in she royal clan
has been won over and the queen
mother has decided to reach out her
arms In royal greeting not only to
Miss Elkins, but TO her father and
his millions and Senator Elkins is to
become a chevalier or count or
baron, though it is not supposed
that his royal title will be made
known to the miners and laborers OF
West Virginia, at least, until after he
IS reelected to the senate. When
Miss Elkins becomes a duchess and
Steve Elkins begins to hobnob with
the italian king, the senator will IN
doubtedly double hispopularity with
the voters of West Virginia.
