ICE-CREAM SELLERS
INVITATIONS TO WEDDING RECEIVED BRIDEGROOM'S FATHER HAS ! MYSTERY PRESENT (From The Guardian's London Correspondent) LONDON, January 28. Every ice-cream seller in England is to be invited to the wedding of
Frederick Scala, son of Emilio Scala, former London coffee-house keeper, who eight years ago won £100,000 in a big sweepstake.' Emilio plans to give his son a "fine present."
"My father will not tell anyone what the present is yet," Frederick said this week. "It is a secret. He is still a. rich man. He has been very careful, not like silly people who win fortunes and lose them gambling. He lives' a quiet life, does a bit of gardening, and takes a trip to Italy once a year. He has not got expensive tastes."
After the wedding in Southwark Cathedral the bride will help her hus-
band manage an ice-cream parlour at Fulham, London. Emilio Scala was born at (Isola-del-Liri, near Naples, and after his sweep win returned there for a time. Shock of the news killed his aged mother. Litigation, begging letters, threats, and other troubles made him | declare, "I would not go through it again for half a million."
