WEDDING MASCOT OF GRAND PIANO
COMPOSER WEDS AN ACTRESS
A miniature grand piano figur- ed as a mascot at the wedding of Mr. Max Darewski, the com- poser and pianist, and Miss Ruby. Miller, the British actress, at the British Consulate in Paris.
The marriage is the culmination of a broken romance which should have led to wedding bells seven years ago. When fate threw the couple together again in Paris re- cently they decided that they had been long enough apart, and the marriage date was fixed.
The bride, whose real name is Ruby Laura Rose Samson, looked charming and radiantly happy in royal blue chiffon velvet, with a grey beige fox-fur collar, in which were pinned two large mauve orchid, and a grey belge toque with

The tiny grand piano was car- ried by one of Mr. Darewaki's Friends, a large number of whom were present at the ceremony per- formed by Mr. H. G. Mackie, the Consul-General.
The bridegroom announced after the wedding that he had just written a new waltz for his bride, entitled "Dream Girl."
