NEW YORK, May ga quiet young
man who isn't bit sentimental and
doesn't care for girls" spent Christmas
of 1927 as the guest of Ambassador
Dwight w. Morrow in Mexico.
The fact that his flight to Paris the
preceding May had idolized him in the
hearts of feminine America had served
only perhaps to make him all the more
retiring-eVen to the point Of BASH
fulness, but in the seclusion of the Am
bassador's home, near the capital of a
nation whose traditional adjective Is
romantic" he found refuge from the
plaudits of the world and became again,
even if temporarily. private citizen.
In this setting he met the diplomat
22-year-old daughter Anne, pretty and
brunette, who had been graduated from
Smith College the preceding June.
Anne Interested in Flying.
Charles A. Lindbergh, whose para
mount interest is aviation and who dis
likes to talk about anything else, found
that she, too, was intensely interested
in flying.
Soon the Colonel was taking her for
short flights. He returned to the Nor
row home whenever possible, and they
went for strolls or drives together
through the picturesque country.

By the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, May 28-The United
States embassy's first knowledge Of the
wedding Of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh
and Miss Anne S. Morrow was furnished
by the local bureau of the Associated
Press. The personnel seemed much
surprised that the event already had
taken place and declared that they had
been in entire ignorance Of the date
and place selected. although the ro-
nance had It's inception here and the
engagement was announced from Mex
leo City.
Many other friends of the couple in
Mexico had not learned OF the mar
riage, and were expecting 1t TO take
place in mid-June.
At almost the exact hour OF the we'd
ding, former President Plutarco Elias
Gales was denying press reports that he
would be q witness at 1t. He apparently
was not aware that 1t then was taking
place, but assured reporters that both
the aviator and his bride ARE persons
Of my highest estimation"
Anne Popular at Capital.
Miss Morrow had become extremely
popular among both MexicanS and
Americans of the capital during her
long periods of residence at the en-
baSsy. Col Lindbergh has been popu-
lar In the country ever since his good
will flight from Washington to Mexico
City in December, 1927.
When the engagement was first an
nounced. their many friends here, In
Guiding government officials, had hoped
that the wedding would be held in Mex
aoo hot hn a
tor preferred to be in his native land.
President and Mrs. Emilio Portes Gil
recently purchased a painting, "Mexi-
can Flowers" by Alfredo Ramos Mar
tinez director of the Mexican School
Of Arts, as a wedding present.
Announcement Recalled.
The brevity Of the marriage an
nouncement recalled that the engage
mert was announced here by Amoas-
sador Morrow on February IL in equally
simple manner. The Ambassador called
newspaper correspondents to his study
and handed each 30-word typewriter
announcement, declining to amplify the
bare statement of facts.
The colonel arrived here unheralded
within a fortnight after the announce
ment. 1t was during this 10 days visit
that he and his finacee suffered mis-
hap at the conclusion of picnic fight.
Loss of a landing wheel caused the
plane to overturn. breaking some parts
on landing but the thoughtfulness and
skill of the pilot enabled Miss Morrow
to escape unhurt. Lindbergh injured
his shoulder but made quick recovery.
The day after the accident he gave
Anne taste of Army medicine" when,
while able to use only one arm, he took
her up In a borrowed plane several
times to remove any fears Of flying that
the mishap might have engendered.
Since then they have flown together
several times.
