In a setting of simple splendor, bretty Princess Giovanna, daughter | bt the king and queen of Italy, be- tame the bride of Czar Boris 111 of Bulgaria.

The marriage, which was accord- fng to Roman Catholic ritudl, cul- aninated a romance which had its Loginning five years ago in a chance Jceting of the Bulgar King and fair- haired Giovanna in a wood near San tossore. There were almost insurmountable | ruligious bars to their marriage, but nlter lengthy negotiations the Pope by special dispensation ruled it possible for them to marry if any children of the union were brought up in the Roman faith and there was no succeeding orthodox m ylage ceremony.
