Well-known Salt Lake Mer-
chant Weds Daughter of
Wealthy Athenian.

" HAT military honor is not the
only thing to be gained by ac-
tive participation in n war is
demonstrated by the fact that
Evangelos G. Skliris. Greek merchant
OF Salt Lake, who has returned from
Greece, brought with him bride. Mr.
Sklrls gained fame as lieutenant in
the Greek army and the fame, In March
OF this year, gained him the acouaint-
ance of Miss Dionysia Kyriakopoulou
daughter of one Of the richest families
IN Athens. The acquaintance ripened
into love and in June. the month of
roses in Athens as well as Salt Lake.
they were married.
Mr.. Skliris is a native of Athens and
came to Salt Lake about three years
ago to visit his brother lie liked the
city so well that he purchased property
and invested his money here. When
the call for reserves came last Decem-
Der he went to Greece. AS he had fought
IN the Greck-TurkiSh war of 1897 he
was commissioned an officer and given
charge of the military prisoner work
with headquarters in Athens.
It was there that he first saw the girl
who is now his wife Mrs. Skliris is a
beautiful woman of the true Grecian
type and he resolved after seeing her
several times to meet her She had
heard that the lieutenant was from
America and as she had heard much of
this country she was elated at the idea
of knowing him. After they wero mar
ried she was given her choice Of living
IN Athens or Salt Lake and she chose
this city. When seen last night at the
Hotel Utah where she and her husband
are staying, she declared that she did
not regret this decision.
81 like America because the pcopIe
are all so frank she said in Greek
and this was translated by her husband
who speaks English. Mrs. Skliris has
not yet mastered English, although she
speaks Italian, German and French as
huently as Greek. She is an artist as
well as linguist and also plays and
sings
