Bride Edda

"A woman's life is always ruled by love, for her children or for a man," feature- articled Signor Benito Mussolini in the London Daily Express. Meanwhile last week the Church of St. Joseph in Rome was swathed in bunting and hung with wreaths for the wedding of the Dictator's daughter Edda. Her man is sleek Galeazzo Ciano, son of the Minister of Communications. She can be sleek, prefers to be careless, daredevilish. can drive a car down a narrow street at 70 m. p. h. with as much immunity from Death as her father.

Bride Edda and her groom were received last week by small King Vittorio Emanuele and large Queen Elena of Italy (with bovine Donna Rachele Mussolini and taurine Signer Benito Mussolini present), at the Royal suburban Villa Savoia (to be given presents).

Vast was Catholic rejoicing that at last a Mussolini was to be wed in church, for neither the Dictator nor his agnostic sire was. Puzzling is the obstinate refusal of Italy's Washington Embassy and Fascist authorities at Rome to state the place and date at which Rachele Agostini and Benito Mussolini contracted a valid marriage of any sort, for antiFascists charge that they never have.
