FRENCH GIRL
OVERWHELMED
Paris, Feb. 24—Because a wal
nut went to Germany instead of
England a romantic young French
girl iy being overwhelmed with of
fers of marriage from Germans,
much to the disgust ot her patriot
ic relatives. During the Christmas
festivities at Halle, Germany, a
wealthy manufacturer had a huge
Christmas tree laden with presents,
candies, etc., and when the tree
was being dispoiled one of the
guests took a walnut from the
branches. Instead of ?. kernal, the
surprised German found a letter in
French signed "Alfredino Maurand,
of Tureaue, France." The letter
stated that Alfredine, having fin
ished her school duties, wanted to
perfect lierself In th- English lan
guage and wished to enter into cor
respondence with a young English
man, and she hoped that chance
would cause tliuj walnut to reach
some such destination.
The romance of the situation ap
pealed 1.0 the young men of Halle
and letters offering marriage flow
ed! in on Alfredine to such an ex
tent that she had to insert an ad
ertisement in the newspapers indi
cating that her sympathies leaned
wholly toward Englishmen, and that
anyway she wouldn't look at a Ger
man.
