Following Father

CZECHOSLOVAKIA

Jan Garrigue Masaryk, son of Dr. Thomas Garrigue Masaryk, President of the Czecho-Slovakian Republic, like his father is to marry an American girl.

According to a despatch from Prague, capital of Czecho-Slovakia, the President's son has asked Mrs. Robert Leatherbee,/- 'daughter of Charles Richard Crane, onetime millionaire-President of the Crane Valve Company. No official announcement was made; that is to come later at Vary Karlovy (Karlsbad) at a reception to be given by the President.

The prospective bride married Robert Leatherbee of Boston in 1907; in January of this year they were divorced in a secret session of a Court at Waukegan, Ill. Her father was once Minister to China, and on leaving that post in 1921 he made a sensational trans-Russian tour in an automobile. It is said of him that he is known and beloved by everyone, everywhere.

Jan Masaryk was formerly a Lieutenant in the Austrian Army. In 1919 he was appointed Charge d'Affaires at the Czecho-Slovakian Legation in Washington, and in May of this year he was made Czecho-Slovakian Minister to the Court of St. James's.

/- The announcement in the U. S. press ignorantly referred to her as "Miss Wetherbee Crane."
