SIXTY YEARS' COURTSHIP
ITALIAN ROMANCE CROWNED. Among the newly-married couples who visited Rome on special cheap travel tickets recently were a, bridegroom of 79 and a bride of 80. Their courtship lasted 60 years, for Paolo Caramello was only 19 when he met Maria Beltrani. Both worked in the fields until a few years ago, when chance brought them closer togeth'er as neighbours. At last, Paolo found his courage. He proposed. Next day they went to the parish priest and asked to have the banns published. The formalities were short, and Paolo and Maria, followed by well-wishers, entered the church of Sant' Ambrogio and promiser "trust and fidelity to each other." "Now we shall also 'go to Rome in the hope of seeing the Pope and obtaining his blessing," said Paolo after the , wedding.
