Two little war orphans acted as
the brides train bearers.
The climax was reached when
Monsignor Beccaria handed the
wedding ring, which he had blessed,
to the bridegroom to slip upon his
brides finger. The religious ritual
did not provide for interrogation of
the bride and groom. That had
taken place in the civil ceremony.
Signor Titoni, after reading the
customary formula. from the civil
code, had turned to Count ID Ber-
COLO. asking:
Princess Jolanda of the House OF
Savoy for your wife?"
Yes" replied the count in a loud
voice.
Witnesses InteFrogated.
The witnesses were Intercepted
as well as the principals.
After a wedding breakfast, the
couple left on their honeymoon,
which will be spent near Pisa.
Later, the couple will live quietly
in their ten-room villa at Pinerolo-
their future home. The princess
will turn housewife and conduct
her own home just like any woman
in the lower ranks of society.
The count. it is understood, will
be elevated to a. dukedom, but will
continue his connection with the
army.
Social events accompanying the
wedding began Saturday with a
royal reception from diplomatic
corps. The princess and count at

The religious ceremonies ended
at 1870 o'clock. The King and
Queen, accompanied by the bride
and groom, appeared upon the
balcony Of the palace while the
