Princess Pat W00ed By Kings
In Love Match With Many Hero

Great Britain's pet princess. Pa
tricia of Connaught, is bethrothed 10
q COMMONWEALTH, untitled naVaI
heroi
But he's a most COM
moner, Alexander Ramsay, command
er, royal navy, and owner of the Dis
tinguished Service Order!
It's a true affair Of the heart"
| Commander Alexander Ramsay was
one of the three aids to the Duke of
C~onnaught, former governor general
of Canada, and the princess saw him
every day when they both lived in OF
tawa.
Princess Pat has refused the hand
and name Of each of a whole flock or
! royalties. She really did not want a
title, as evidenced by this list of n
discarded suitors:
King Alfonso of Spain.
King Manuel of Portugal.
Former Grand Duke Michael of
Russia.
Former Crown Prince of Germany.
Prince Eitel Friedrich.
Prince Christopher of Greece.
Prince. Gustavus of Denmark.
Prince William of Sweden.
Count Of Turin.
Grand Duke Adolph Friedrich. OF
Notwithstanding
Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
When Princess Pat was a little girl
she declared her intention to marry no
one but an Englishman-and she is
sticking to her word
Although Alexander Ramsay has
no titles of his own, he is the son of
the thirteenth Earl OF Dalhousie, and
his mother was a daughter of the sixth
Earl Of Tankerville. {
Ramsay was educated at the Royal
Naval College, at Dartmouth. When
he wrote his w very brief biography
for the English who's Who" he
sketched his own character In two
words: "Recreation-work." Com
mander Ramsay was with the British
fleet in the campaign OF the Darda-
nelles. 1914-191G. and there won his
only "roval decoration" the Order of
Distinguished Service.
Princess Pat IS the only member Of
her family to marry a "commoner."
Her elder sister. Margaret Victoria, Is
now crown princess OF Sweden, and
her brother. Prince Arthur Frederick,
married the Duchess Of Fife.
but any girl OF good Judgment and
average emotions can see exactly why
the Princess of Connaught will marry
Alexander, title or no titles. No wo-
mar refuses such compelling n hu-
morous ewes. such n firm chin. such n
strong and tender mouth! 1t simply
ism dOnct
As for Alexander. we don't think
he loved the princess for her wealth
and title alone! OF course. IL will be
fun for him TO speak casually OF my
cousins, the king and queen" but he
is more likely TO sneak frequently of
my wife, Patricia" D.
We then went with ten Ford
cargo Trucks and rode within Drty
miles of Metz. We passed through
towns that had been shot to pieces
and they were an awful sight. 4
When we had delivered our trucks
