- ANIDEAL’ MATF Aame Normow o “Sim” Are Both 01 Fstioned New York, Feb 13 UP—Mim Anne Spencer Morrow, the future Mra. Charles A. Lindbergh, was des cribed by friends Mflly -l‘ an ldeu)‘ r the flying colonel. mn‘;;l:o are of the old fashionad | type, as contrasted to the moder: iriapper and tha slick-haired youth of today. But Miss Morrow is not adverse to a pit of fun and to her intimates is known as a taughing, frolicksome young woman, just ns «glim" Lindbergh in his mail flying | days was known for his practicy’ iokes and harmless horseplay. ““Born in Englowood, N. J., a fash | jonable suburb across the Hudsom from New York, Miss Morrow is 22 years old, five feet, five inches tail, has large brown eyes and dark brown unbobbed hair. The colonel is 27 years old, more than six feet tall, and a blonde. Both are Presby- terians. At Smith College, Northamptop, ‘Mass., from which she was graduat- ed last year, Miss Morrow was one of the most popular girls of her class. Besides showing a Gecided | aptitude in her studies, she was| prominent in many social and extra curricular activities. | She wrote the ivy day song for her class and a senior song as well, she was a member of the manus-| cript club, the international rela- | tions, th. Alpha fraternity nd was/| an usher at the junior prom. Her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Cutter Mor- row, 18 a trustee of the college. Although known as a studious voung woman, Anne is less so than her sister, Elizabeth, a few years her elder, who is a temcher at the ex- clusive Dwight sahool for girls ~t Englewood. Anne.is said by friends o be fond of atteactive clothes and to have a greater interest in people | than books. Rumors that Colonel Linubergh was interested in the Morrow girls persisted almost from the ‘ime Le first met them a year ago on his first good-will fllght to Mexico. But even members of the Morrow 1amily professed not to know which of the girls It might bg Generally he was seen with them togcther and ioth | made flights with him. When Elisalgeth returned from Europe last Nowember where in Tur- | key she visited the colonel’s mother, Mrs, Fvangeline Lindbergh, rumor had it that she wak to be the bride. She declined, however, to discuss the matter, aml the colonel, when questioned later on the same sub- ject, likewise maintained his cus- tomary silence regarding all things other than avimtion. Mr. and Mrs. Lindbergh rieed not worry about the wolf at the door. The l.one Eage hopped to fortuae as well as fame when he made his flight to Paris, although he has de- clined many offers of a financial na- ture. And Mr. Morrow was partner in J. P. Morgan and Company be- fore he became ambassador. There are three sisters and a hrother in the Morrow family. In uddition to Anne and Elisabeth there is Constance, a younger sister. who is attending a girl's school at Miiton, Mass., and Dwight W. Mor- row, Jr., & stulent at Amherst, his father's Alma Mater. Mra. Morrow was the former Elizabeth Reeve Cutter of Clevaland. When reorts of the colonel's en- EZagement to one of the Morrow gir's were first published here, Mrs. J. J. Morrow, an aunt, was quoted as saying that both girls had told her several times there was nothing to the rumor, as “Lindy isn't a bit sentimental and doesn't care for girls.” Mrs. Morrow also was quoted at that time as sayfng it was her at- titude, and she thought that of the rest of the family, that it Colonel Lindbergh would marry a Morrow he would have to give up flying. There are virtually simuitaneous romances in the families of Mr. Morrow and a famous Amherst classmate, Calvin Coolidge, whose son John is engaged to Miss Flor- ence Trumbull, daughter of the governor of Connecticut.

Charles A. Lindbergh. Miss Morrow and her family, be- yond the bare announcement of the engagercent made yesterday by Am- bascador and Mrs. Dwight W. Mor- row, indicsted plainly that public - curioslty was not to be satisfied. Mexico City society was chiefly in- terested in the bellef that the wed- ding would be held here, probably in the spring. The Morrows, how- ever, gave no hint. Brief Announcement News that Col. Lindbergh, the taciturn, efficient idol of the air who thority, denied them, maying the fier and Miss Morrow were “mere. ly good friends.” | Oolomel Will S Fty I Lindbergh's marriage will not im;ke any chance in his flying ac- tivities, friends of the Morrows l-m. His fiancee has been in the air with him several times, as have all members of the family. They share the confidence of the world in Lind- bergh's flying. Mrs. Morrow flew with him over the volcano i'opocatepetl just out- side the capital lasy November. The volcano is 18,000 feet high and Mrs. Morrow is believed to be one of the few women ever to make such a J:ght. With her mother, Miss Morrow ac- ompanied Lindbergh (o Valbuena field at the end of his visit when he weft for Tampico en route to the United States. Popular With Parcats Lindbergh is extremely popular with his fiancee's parents. While the ambassador would mot comment for publication, his opinion of Lindbergh is of the higl st ahd his favorite Gescription of the filer is, Yhe's a fine boy.” Smilarly, Mrs. Morrow is fond of the fliecr and a friend said she was “beaming with joy" after the engagement was announced. Ambassador Morrow has forbid- éen any interview to be :given out about the engagement. He dislikes personal publicity, and although | was consilered girl-shy, had be- _ come eng:ged to Miss Morrow, came Tioh has bocn printed about hin as a complete surprise.

Miss Morrow, who arrived with her mother yesterday from the United States, after a 17 hour delay at the scene of the dynamiting of the presidential special Sunday in! Guanajuato, was extended felicita- tions by a small group of intimates who dined at the embassy last night. En route to Mexico City Miss Mor- row and her mother stopped at St. Louis and aft-r special arrange- ments had been made, visited the collection of Lindbergh air trophies there, The aviator's fiancee appear- ed particularly interested in the sou- venirs and trophies of his Latin- American flights, Look for Two Visits In view of the announcement of the cngagement, Mexicans look for .two visits shortly, one from Colonel Lindbergh himself, and the other| from his mother, Mrs. Evangeline Lindbergh. Mrs. Lindbergh left Constantinople a few days ago, where she taught chemistry in the American college for the States. It is presumed that her somewhat early return was made in view of her son's approaching mar- riage. Both Mrs. Lindbergh and her son are widely known in Mexico, she having flown to this capital as guest of the Morrows in December, 1927, when her son was here after com- pletion of his flight from Washing- ton, Colonel Lindbergh during his stay received a reception probably surpassing that ever before accorded an American in Mexico. The wel- come to his mother was hardly less cordial. To Colonel ” * 1bergh the credit is given for th vance in Mexican aviation whic us far has develop- ed a number c. aviators of Spanis! American renown, notable amo them the late Capt. Emilio Carransga, and Lieutenant Colonel Roberto, Fierro. Home Loving Girl Miss Morrow, Colonel Lindbergh's flance, is known to Mexicans as a quiet, home-lovirz gir] of 22, who has spent much of her time here since graduation last year from Smith college, Northampton, She is a brunette and pretty. She has a broad interest in aviation, and world affairs generally, Her char- acter and interests are said to be uch as will best round out the hith- erto one-sided life of her flance. She is five years younger than Colonel Lindbergh, who recently United | amplify the statement, although he was obviously pleased to make it. While rumors have been circulated for months that Lindbergh was to marry Miss Morrow or her older sister, Elizabeth, the reports were consistently denied by friends of the family and ignored by the Morrows. The girl who has won the heart of the man who has caused more feminine flutter than anyone in this age, not even excepting the Prince of Wales, seema ideally suited to one of Lindbergh's temperament. She shares his dislike of ostentation and is of the studious, intellectual type. Hair is Unhobbed Miss Morrow is 22 and Lindbergh 27. Her dark hair is unbobbed and frames an attractive face with dark blue eyes. She is slender and about five feet four, reaching only to the shoulder of her tall husband-to-be. Miss Morrow is quiet and self- contained, like her mother. She reads much and has learned Spanish fairly well, although she has spent jonly & few months in Mexico at various times. Bhe was educated in the Chapin school, New York, and 8mith college, Northampton, Mass. Social and diplomatic functions have little attraction for the bride- to-be, and she appears in public only at the weekly receptions at the embassy, when she helps her moth- er pour tea. Bhe likes pets. While in Mexico City she leads a tranquil existence. Met 14 Months Ago Miss Morrow and Lindbergh have jknown one another a year and two |months, and while their courtship could not be called “whirlwind,” they have had comparatively little time together., 1927, when Lindbergh made a non- stop flight from Washington to Mex- ico City on his good will tour of Central and South America. ! They met several times in the United States during the ensuing year and again last November, when They first met on December 14,° ment was announced. No formal entertainments have been planned in connection with the DLetrothal, it was understood. A small | tamily party which included mem- 'bers of the embassy staff, was given last night, Miss Morrow appeared in white chiffon. LINDRERGH ENDS FLIGHT AT MIAMI (Continued from First Page) isthmus trail, an highway which was expected to knit closer in the future the commerce and triendships of the western world. Carefully planning in advance every detall of the journey to Pana- ma just as he has done so many mail and prepared for his success- ful flight acroms the Atlantic from New York to Paria Col. Lindhergh completed the voyage without un- toward incident. He arrived at Cris- tobal, Panama on February ¢ and did not start back until February 10. Tnspects Honduran Coant En route back, the colonel decided to take & look at the Honduran coast for possible landing places for future planes and caused msome anxiety when he falled to arrive at Havana yestérday on the projected schedule. While the world sought for news of his whereabouts, Lind- ed La Fe bay off the extreme west- ne. He continued where he spent last night, taking off Miami at 7:24 o'clock this morning. Yesterday's leg of the regular flight lay acroas the Caribbean sea from Belise, British Honduras, via Cosumel Island, off the coast of bergh was calmly alighting on isolat- ; Lindbergh flew here from the mu; ! marriage, the colonel seid: “Have you any other questions to ask?" That was his only response to the inquiry. * Describing his tour of approxi mately 3.900 miles, the flying colonel predicted that the present alr mail tervice to Panama now operating on a two weeks' achedule will within a few months be operated dally. “There is not now a great deas to be done before daily service ecan be inaugurated from Miami to Pan- America,” he sald. “Better facilities for communication are being in- stalled and other facilities to aid flyilng are being put into condition to augment the service." “The Pan-American Alrways, Ine., will not plan to carry passengers on this route, of course, until the mont minute details of transportation and .communication lave been worked out.” Lindbergh said his trip from Bes lize to La Fe yesterday was longer than scheduled on account of dif culty in refueling at Cosumel and because it was necesnary to taxt fo #10 miles from that city to a courpe sufficiently clear to take off on his hop to La Fe. He waa greeted on his arrival by a crowd cstimated at 3,000 persons. Among them was Tien T.al Huang, Chinese aviator who is representing the government in a tour of American points of acrial development.

' (AS CONSUNPTION " HIGHEST AT NOON 140 Times as.Great 25 in Early IomLSeott Saps Members of the New Britain Ex change club assembled last evening at the Burritt hotel for their week- 1ly meeting. Following the dinner !the business of the club was trans acted with President Herbert Woeds preaiding. A-large nimber of mem- bers avalled themselves of the op- portunity to hear Alexander H Scott of the New Britain Gas Light Co. deliver an interesting lecture on ‘Gas.” Mr. Bcott outlined the history of gas and especially stressed its local | history, He described and explained !the material equipment of a gas company and how it is used in the manufacture of gas. Following this, he spoke of the rate of turn-over in regurd to capital of the average gas company. Mr, Scott stated that this rate is once about every four or five years. The Exchange club members were interested in hearing Mr. Scott tell of the huge demand egacted on s &as company during the'rush hour. or “peak load."” This occurs at the «00n hour, and “we are sending out gas at the rate of 140 times as much then as when compared to the quiet hours of the early morning.” “Gas,” Mr. Scott said, “was first produced by 4 Dutch chemist in the {17th century. It was called and termed the ‘spirit of coal’ and it was discovered by the chemist ex- perimenting in his crude faboratory with coal. In the United States i Ameriean Corporations, Col.
