Italy.
The story leading to todays wedding
is most interesting one. but to the
two most Immediately concerned it
was likewise tragic for time. But
both Cerino and Miss Morto have for
gotten with today's happy event what
they have passed thru within recent
months in their efforts to wed.
Divorce No Good in Italy.
In the domain Of the pope of Rome
an American divorce is held with very
little if any respect and it seems, has
no standing in Italian Jurisprudence.
Cerino. who lived for years at Quar-
ry. in this county. had wife, but the
couple became estranged. and Cerino
procured a divorce. Cerino has been
in this country long enough to know
the law of his adopted state, and
he took the foresight OF bearing with
him across the seas his decree Of d.
vorce. He presented it when he went
to get the papers to wed Camelo Morto.
but was informed CURLY in his native
tongue that an American divorce was
no good in Italy: further that II his
divorce was granted in the United
States he would have to marry in the
United States.
Love Only Laughed.
While this new phase OF his native
moment love only laughed. If pretty
Camelo Morto was worth travelling
thousands OF miles to wed in her own
Castelvetera di Celere. she was worth
taking back to Uncle Sans land
where divorces cut no figure, unused

he would rather marry in the United
States any way. even II 1t did mean q
postponem ent Of the wedding for two
weeks Cerino and Miss Morto went
to Castelvetera al Calere, packed the
belongings Of the bride-to-be. hurried
them to Naples to make an outgoing
steamer and got the luggage on the
steamer.
Brides Eyes Arc Bad.
But everything was not to be smooth
sailing even after overcoming the IL
vorce obstacle. The tickets had been
purchased. the baggage checked. and
packed away in the steerage. Cerino
and the blushing Camelo passed thru
the line of emigration officials and
medical examiners. Everything was
moving along nicely. Two Of the doc
tors had been passed and an 90 K"
given A third was yet to see and
sacre, he discovered something wrong
with Miss Morto's eyes They were
such that she could not pass the final
physical examination. The steamer was
about ready to leave. Cerno and hts
bride We're on board. The doctor said
she could not sail, and she was hustled
off the boat. and with tears in her eyes
threw kisses 10 Cerino as the gang
plank swung around and he went
sailing away TO America.
Poor Canlelo alone in Naples. with
her clothing in the bottom of the big
boat was an object TO lie p,tled She
returned to her native village, told her
parents of her experiences. and await
ed letter from Cerlno when he should
have cached America.
Treatment ovsreomes Defects.
Cerino was not to be bafrled by an
eye doctor, and with one poison he
would cure another. If an eye doctor
was to prevent his wedding with
Camelo. another eye doctor should
cure Camelo he reasoned He so
wrote Camelo. and sent her money for
treatment. She went to pies to un-
dergo the treatment. and after
month the defects We're overcome She
passed the physical examination this
time. and reac hed ,Marshalltown on the
