A TEMPORARY “TRIANGLE”

MOTHER-IN-LAW INTERVENES. The other day, Luigi, who lives near Pistoia, sold his wile, Rina, an attractive btrubette, to his friend, Arturo, for a hundred-lire note and a few flasks of wine, with some rabbits and fowls thrown in, statos the Koine correspondent of the London “ObservgT.” Rina, who oared for Luigi as little as lie cared for her, went off quite happily with Arturo, and they set up house • together. But they had reckoned without Kina’s mother, vSoru Rosa, an energetic peasant woman of the old-fash-ioned type that stands no nonseiße. Rina went after her daughter and obliged her to leave Arturo and return to the maternal home. Arturo Hew to Luigi to complain that Rina had been taken from him and lie must have bis money back, Luigi pointed out that he had nothing to do with it, and that it was up to Arturo not to ;let himself bo intimidated by the lady who now stood to him in the light of a mother-in-law. That Is how things stand up to date. The only one of the three actors i« the drama who is perfectly satisfied is Luigi, who hats definitely got rid of Rina and keeps a firm hand over the money, the wine, the rabbits and the fowls.
