ROMANCE OF A REPRESENTATIVE

All the members of congress are not old and prosy. A romance of the war culminated the other day in the wedding of Miss Thea Almerigotti of New York city and Fiorello Fl. La Gnardia, who was recently honorably discharged as major in the United States air force, in command of an American aviation corps unit in Italy. The ceremony was performed in the office of Mgr. Gherardo Ferrante, in the Cathedral college, connected with St Patricl1's cathedral. "
 Both bride and bridegroom were earnest workers for Italian war relief and recruiting. The bride declared that she would only marry man who had fought for Italy.
 Major La GuarGiia went to Italy and joined the aviation corps of that country and later was transferred to the United States force, of which he was in command when the armistice was signed He resigned his commis- sion and returned to this country to .c

 Daphne had come home after a morning of rebuffs. She was heart sore and footsore, in shabby boots that she could not replace. She was called to the telephone, and Duane's voice chanted in her ear with tone of peculiarly comforting melancholy.

 When they came out upon the yeran- da of the hotel the lake was vast charger of frosted silver among the hills. They stood admiring it for a moment and the music from the hotel seemed to come from another world. He helped her into the car and they whisked away southerly.
 He returned to the road along the Hudson. and 1t was SO beautiful in the moonglow that it seemed pity to hurry through the wonderland at such speed. And what was she going back to that she should be in such haste?
 She hinted as much to Duane, and he bettered the suggestion. Not only did he check the speed, but at one wooded cliffside with vista of pecu- liar majesty he wheeled out of the road and stopped the car, shut down the chuttering engine and turned of the strenuous lights.
 They sat utterly content till Duane shook off the blissful stupor. They could not stay here thus forever. They could not stay much longer. It was growing cold and late.

But without turning his head he could see her little eands clasped idly at her knees, the little gloves turned back at the wrist. He thought that he would like to take them in his-he would like to take all of her in his arms. into his heart. into his keeping.
 Yet he did not want to marry her. He did not admire marriage in it's re- suits as he saw them in other people. Like many another. he cherished wicked ideals because the everyday virtues worked out so imperfectly. so unbeautifully.

 Daphne sat thinking, but not of clothes. The labor problem had al- most defeminized her. She was study ing the models as they lounged about the shop. Suddenly she spoke. ''Oh, Mir. Dutilh, how much money does a model earn2"
 "You mean what salary do I pay? Common clothes-horses get fifteen or better pay. You're worth a thousand a week at least. Want, job2" Yes" '' @@ e
 His smile was quenched. He studied her across his cup. He saw the anx- iety in her curiosity. t<-.

 When she and Daphne had taken their departure, Leila still dared not speak to Daphne on the way home. She dared not speak to her at all.
 Leila brought triumph to Bayard. She told him what Dutilh had told her of his willingness to wait for his money.
 Bayard embraced Leila and hailed her as an angel. When she had taken full toll of her success. she told Bay ard what Daphne had done. She told it simply, without emphasis. knowing It's effect. E.z

 Clay Wimburn came in after dinner. His protests against Daphne's project were louder than Bayard's, with the added rancor of jealousy. But he had no substitute to offer.

 At such a time, as in an epoch of plague, there came a desperate need of respite from woe; soldiers sky larked in trenches; war widows danced in gay colors; festivals were held in the name of charity; frivoli- ties and vices were resorted to that good souls might renew themselves for the awful work before them.
