He Captures Mary Ridge


Then there is the case of Mary
Ridge, head waitress at the leading
hotel here, who lost her heart tc Har-
land G. Ritchie, "a machinist's mate
first class, of Allston, Mass. She was
one Of the most popular girls in town.
The dining room over which she pre-
sided is out of bounds to enlisted men
but Ritchie contrived to see her when
she was off. duty They knew each
other for four months before Mr..
Ritchie led her to the altar OF the
village church.
But the record for love at first sight
among the Americans belongs to a
Young seaman. Paul Valachovic by
name, who used to work in the ma
chine shop of the General Electric
company at Schnectady, N. Y. He fell
in love the first day he stepped
ashore here, from his destroyer. Ada
Jones, Cork girl, was the object OF
Cupid's dart After the war VAL
achovic is going to take her back with
him to that thriving city in New York
A few of the Americans first met
their wives on visits to England.
Charles Harmon Cobia of Charleston,
S. c., fell in love on the beautiful
Cornish riviera with Ada Gilbert,
widow of "a, whose home was in Ply
mouth. Another English bride is
Nora Elizabeth Kilt, who married to
Joseph w. Highfeld of Des Moines,
Iowa.
Likes the Irish Girls
But the majority of the Americans
married Irish girls who lived in the
vicinity of the American naval base
and whom they met at the dance hall
or roller skating rink. Thus Doris
Francis Phillips is now Mrs. Leo Vim
cent Flavell of Hanover, Mass, and
Mary Ellen Sullivan has become the
wife of Thomas A. Balschi of Mount
Carmel, Pa After the war Mary
O'Keefe, who became the wife of Ed
ward c. Turner, expects to desert the
trying climate Of southern Ireland,
for that of sunny San Jose, CAL, which
is her husbands home. William
