SEEKING ROMANCE
English Girls Attracted By Australians London, April 1. Tlie bounteous publicity that is being given to the Australian contingent to the coronation is proving embarrassing. One newspaper, which, printed a story that many of the men are hoping to take back nice English wives, published photographs of Major Ruddock and Colonel Donald, with the result that they have received dozens of letters from girls seeking romance.
Major Ruddock told the Australian Associated Press Agency that lie is frightened to go to the mail box, for he is now receiving at least 25 leters a day from blondes and brunettes, and others, some proposing marriage. Writing romantically about the wide open spaces of Australia, one girl asked Major Ruddock to bring half a dozen “Anssies” to her town to meet her girl friends.
