DASH TO

Leave To Wed Fraulein

By FRANK WALTON

GERMAN girl and a sturdy young Welsh Guardsman appeared at Bow-street recently to plead that the girl should not be deported so that they can marry.

The girl, Gertrud Jakob, aged 28, stated to be of good character, was charged under the Aliens Act with remaining in the country without permission; and her sweetheart, Thomas Henry John, aged 25, a Welsh Guardsman stationed at Wellington Barracks, told the magistrate, Sir Rolls Graham-Campbell, that they had arranged to marry by special licence.

The Guardsman's plea must have touched the official heart, for Fraulein Jakob, recently employed at Mount Royal, Marble for deportation Arch, was fined £3-and no resommendation was made:

Guardsman John produced three crinkling Bank of England notes: und, arm in arm, they left the court to prepare for the wedding.

Fraulein Jakob,' who has a voice like Marlene Dietrich, told me all about their romance when I found them sitting on a bench in St. James's Park,

To her Guardsman she said: "Ich liebe dich, mein liebe" ["! love you. my darling").

Although Guardsman John knows
