Bronze Girl Is From Wilmington


Says the Philadelphia Press: Little
Dan Cupid has been causing no end
of sensations lately.
He has turned his little bow in di-
rections to bring joy to the heart OF
the gossip and work to the newspaper
man.
1t has been a long time since the
papers have chronicled so many inter-
esting and surprising marriages and
engagements.
This page gives some of the most
notable ones.
The first, and perhaps the one Of
most interest to Philadelphians, is the
double announcement of the engage
ment of Miss Antoinette Patzowsky, Of
Wilmington, to Mr.. Fleisch, OF New
York, and the engagement of her
younger sister, Louise, to Mr.. Fleisch's
brother.
Miss Patzowsly is known to Phila-
delphians who visit Atlantic City as
the Bronze Girl" She is a we'll
known figure on the beach and her
smart turnouts attracted much atten-
tion on the drives.
The Bronze Girl" OF Atlantic City
fame, has announced her engagement
and the affair is all the more romantic,
because she and her sister both an
nounce their engagements to brothers.
Miss Antoinette Patzowsky is the
real name Of the Bronze Girl She
is known as Miss Tony" to her hosts
of admirers. The sisters are New
Workers, but have lived recently in
Wilmington, where their father is in
business.
The young women have announced
their engagements to the Messrs.
Fleisch, of New York, and go to that
city to live after the double wedding.
Surely. they will return to Atlantic
City! What would the beach be with
out the Bronze Girl" so identified is
she. after many Summers, with the life
of the crowded, gay resort.
How did "the Bronze Girl" get her
nickname
Because Of her bathing suit and the
head of hair nature had given her
Both as golden brown as a properly
cooked pancake. Added to that, sns
was tall, oh, very tall; and the bronze
bathing suit was made with a fine
accordion-pleated slIirt-most unusua
on that beach-and a sailor blouse
with broad collar and flowing colder
brown silk tie.
She added open work golden brown
silk stockings to the suit. Such q cos
tune aided by masses of bronze golC
hair and sunburnt arms and face wa
sufficient to give her the nickname.
Bronze she surely was, and she wa
as slender and tall and shapeIy as
lstatue.
). Had she been seen only freluentl,
in this costume and on the beach ant
boardwalk she might have passed b,
without getting a nickname, but sh
was always to be seen: she is one O
the habitues: one of those who hav
the beach and boardwalk in their blood
and hear it a-calling as soon as Sprin
starts the sap in the trees, and remain
under its influence long into the magic
toned days of Autumn. when the Sc
and the sky try to outdo each othe
in coloring.
Atlantic City has just such a power
ful, potent influence over hundreds G
persons.
The Bronze Girl" was always every
where. Every morning on the beacl
sometimes talking. sometimes not; bu
walking, tossing ball, as so many {
the girls do there in the forenoon.
In the afternoon she was alway
dashing around in a high tea-car
holding the reins herself over a good
, looking brOnze-colored horse. IN
men who sat beside her were usual
+ smaller than she. and her admirei
were glad to hear that her fancee
