Il YEARS HIS SECRETARY H.
NOW WIFE OF MILLIONAIRE

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. %
Fifteen years ago an 1S-year-old
girl went to work for one of New
Orleans largest furniture stores,
simply because she was offered 81
more a week than she had been
earning in a laundry.
Today, Hilda Bertoniere, the
one-time laundry worker, is the
wife of the owner of the furni-
ture store, Robert Sidney Macs
tri, mayor of this city and one Of
the south's wealthiest men.
The romance between the, mil
lionaire Maestro and Miss Ber-
toniere, who, as his secretary, In
recent years has virtually run the
mayors vast enterprises, devel-
oped about two years ago when
Maestri became the city's chief
executive.
As Maestri's fortune grew he
had come to depend increasingly
on his secretary for counsel, but
few knew they had been sweet
hearts for the past two years.
They were generally regarded as
business partners" and highly
successful ones.
The ceremony, performed in
the private chapel of Archbishop
Joseph Francis Rummel of New
Orleans, caught the city by sur
prise.
The 4S-year-old mayor had
some reputation as a woman
hater" and had devoted so much
of his time to business and politics
that only a few intimates knew Of
his love affair.
That Mrs. Maestri may one day
be a governors wife appears a
possibility as several factions are
urging Mayor Maestri to be can
didate for the Louisiana governor
ship. =.
Maestri, who pays the largest
income tax in the state, left with
Mrs. Maestro for the east after
the wedding. The honeymoon was
Maestri's first vacation since ne
moved into the mayors job two
years ago. ---
