The postal courtship and betrothai
of Miss Gleitze, formerly London
typist, and Private Farrance, of his
maiesty's forces in India, whom
she had never seen, appears to
have broken up on the shoals OF
disenchantment, according to their
friends today.
Can't Find Bride
This long-distance romance began
after Miss GIeitze swan the chan
mel and Private Farrance, then at
tached to the East Lancashire regl-
ment at Quetta, India, wrote her
letter. He had been attracted by
her picture in newspaper. Far
rance proposed by letter and was
accepted. The marriage was to
have taken place in England this
month.
This beautiful romance. whose
gossamer pihions stretched half way
round the world, was exclusively
revealed by International News
Service and attracted worldwide
attention. Everything was ar
ranged by mail, from the first
tender missives seeking introduction
to the last passionate epistle vowing
eternal fidelity.
Private Farrance has arrived In
London to carry out his part of the
romance. but Miss Gleitze has evil

has been unable to find her and
there is only silence where he had
hoped for marriage bells.

city they did not meet.
Miss Gleitze did not want to talk
about her romance. But she did say
in a general way:

Comment by persons of promin
ence follows:
BY MRS. JULIAN HEATH
Present National Housewives
League

/ certainly do not approve of any
such experimentation. There are
certain accepted principles which
underly- and govern the institution
of the American home-a most
sacred and necessary institution to
the well-being of our nation-and
no one should take it upon him
self. or herself. to interfere with
these principles-no matter how
wise or modern that person may
regard himself or herself.
1t is my firm belief that home
founded upon real affection has a
much better chance of succeeding
than one which is the product of
inclination to follow a fad.
And the children of the former
type of home-which, fortunately.
is the twpe that is representative of
our country, and will continue to
be-are certainly in a better posi-
ton to receive the kind of training
and care that will make them
successful, happy men and women.
