"A VERY DEAR FRIEND."
LADY DIANA AND MOLLISON.
LONDON, May 12,
Miss Amy Johnson informs "The Sun" that Lady Diana Wellesley, whose engagement to Mr. Mollison was announced in March, has gone away with her mother and that it is impossible to say where.
Lady Diana previously issued the following statement: "Jim Mollison is and always will be a very dear friend of mine. Wo dined together on Monday. Of course, I knew all about the engagement almost before anyone else. He and Miss Johnson have many interests in common, particularly aviation. I am sure she will make a most admirable partner for him."
The "Daily Mail" states that when the engagement of Miss Johnson and Mr. Mollison was announced in the evening, the latter was dancing with Lady Diana at the same restaurant at which he had, during lunch, proposed to Miss Johnson.
Mr. Mollison states that his announcement adhering to his engagement to Lady Diana a fortnight ago, was. correct. Everything happened after that. Lady Diana's mother (Lady Cowley) made difficulties. "She and I understand each other perfectly, and remain the best of friends. She knew of my engagement to Mies Johnson before it was announced."
