Oil! T H E C H E V R 0 N l l O THE DUCHESS OF FERRARA It was a balmy morning in sunny Italy during the most picturesque period of all time, the Italian Renaissance. As one walked along the main highway in the little village of Ferrara, one would be attracted by a beautiful white stone mansion, with tall, peaked roofs and a round white tower in the back- ground. Wide, spacious lawns, bordered by beautiful, stately trees surrounded the mansion. In the center of the lawn at the left stood a fountain of white marble from which the water rose many feet in the air and fell in crystal-like drops upon the ground. In another part of the lawn stood a single huge tree of a rare specimen bearing exquisite white flowers of unknown variety. Behind the mansion was a deer park, whose shade seemed at once cool and inviting. This was the home of the Duke of Ferrara and his wife, the beautiful Lady Lorentia, Duchess of Ferrara. On this particularly beautiful morning, they were riding through the park. They made a charming picture: the Duke in his riding habit, his handsome tanned face, dark wavy hair and dark brown eyes, sitting in his saddle with the ease of one long accustomed to riding: the Duchess, a perfect picture of loveliness, with her pure, white complexion and curly brown hair, her white riding habit seeming one with the white mare she rode. They were conversing in low tones, and the Duke was saying: My dear, how can we best entertain our guest, Count Rudolphe, during his brief stay here? You know best, for you are a better judge in such matters than I. Lady Lorentia smiled and a faint blush came into her cheek. The Duke laughed softly, for he realized that it was his compliment that had brought that blush and that smile. I know of no better way than to give a ball in his honor and invite our friends from the neighboring duchies, she answered after deliberating for a few moments. A good idea! We'll make the necessary preparations as soon as we return to the house. But hush! Here is the Count. No word of it to him. The Count rode toward them as he finished speaking. He had left the mansion, seeking the shade of the cool woods, not suspecting that the Duke and Duchess had gone there before him. He nodded to them in greeting, and plucking a rose from a rose-tree nearby, he offered it to the Duchess. She took the flower and again there came that faint blush in her cheek. This did not escape her husband's notice. He felt annoyed that a trifle from a stranger should affect his wife as much as a compliment from himself had done. Still, he said nothing, but decided hereafter to watch more closely. On the ride back to the mansion he saw with increasing annoyance the unnecessary attention that Lady Lorentia paid to the Count. More than once he saw that blush steal over her face. Still he kept his peace. l D ll g Ill ik ll U The hour for the ball arrived. The guests had all assembled. The huge ballroom was brilliantly illuminated with thousands of candles. The music was irrestible and soon the ball-room was crowded with dancers. But, as the even- ing advanced, the Duke became more and more irritated by the attitude of the Duchess toward the Count. Many were the smiles and whispered words that passed between them. And many, too, were the looks of warning and reproach that the Duke conveyed in his glances to his wife. And yet she pretended not fContinued on Page 221 Page Nineteen

During the evening Miss Davis, accompanied by Helen Dunshee, sang pleasing solos. Mr. D'Amico also en- tertained with a saxophone solo. Miss Britton, the only speaker of the even- ing, gave a report on the social activities of the teachers of last year and expressed a desire to see a repetition of the line spirit of coeoperation this year. After dinner, the members of the faculty entertained themselves with bridge and dancing. Miss Angelina and Mr. Angelo Donatelli very kindly furnished music for the dancing. October 27 the members of the faculty enjoyed a Hallowe'en masquerade at the Library. The staid faculty, gaibed as farmers, sheiks, clowns, pirates, tramps, ghcsts and goblins vied with each other in making the evening a success. Among the other forms of amusement, a mock wedding and a thril- ling polo game are worthy of note. Mr. Bergerson astride a prancing Kiddie Kar rivalled Lochinvar in valor and daring. So much prowess and skill were displayed on both sides that it was after much deliberation that judges awarded the decisio'n to Bergie'-s side. Then, after a serious debate and a fortune Lelling game, the refreshment committee served a delicious supper. WEDDINGS On August 18 our Principal, Mr. Fetzer, was married to Miss Elizabeth Porterfield of Mt. Vernon, Ohio. Congratulations! During the summer Miss Mildred Johnson, a teacher in Central School last year, was married to Mr. Glen Herman of Groveland. The young people are living in Groveland. Announcements have been received of the marriage of Miss Lenore P. Wells, our former preceptress, to Mr. Thomas, of Tampa, Florida. We understand that Miss Wells is making her home in Florida. Announcements of the marriage of Miss Neva Welch to Mr. Kenneth Mayhew of Angelica on October 8, have been received. The Chevron extends its heartiest congratulations and good wishes to these young people. GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN Miss Marian Smith is teaching at Endicott this year.
