YES, MARRIAGE IS SOMETIMES A FAILURE.

Lees than two months ago Miss Bessie Johnson, the beautiful and talented daughter of Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland, Ohio, was married to a prominent “Dago,” Her parents did everything they reasonably qould to disuade her from marrying the foreigner, but she was determined, and marry him she did. Now her dream is over and she has returned to her parents’ home, her father at her request going to New York after her. Mariani, the Dago, is supposed to have returned to his bachelor quarters in New York. The Johnsons refuse to discuss the trouble in any way, but the young woman, like scores of other fool American girls, who might have had their pick of the best young men of her own country, but chose to marry a foreigner, no doubt, found her dago husband a roe and a rake of the first water, who only married her for her father’s money. Too bad.
