determination to defy his
parents and marry Peggy.
His uncle, King Albert Of
Belgium; his cousin, King Al
phonso of Spain Chen working
at the job; the British foreign
office; everyone of Importance
in royal European circles were
asked to interfere. The duke
and duchess was Frustrated.
Only the wilful princes young
sisters, the Princess Sophie and
Genevieve, approved. T h e y
thought Peggy was grand and
were delighted with the thought
of an American sister-in-law.
Despite the uproar raised by
his royal relatives Prince Phil
ippe went ahead with his plans
and married his Peggy. Not only
did he marry her but he did it
three times, by bell and book.
A member of the Catholic
Church, he was determined
that there should be no plots
to part him from his bride.
Family Disown Prince
His parents vowed never to
speak to either of the newly
weds. Prince Philippe was SOL
emnly read out of his party, to
use a political phrase.
But little did the happy bride
and bridegroom worry. Peggy
and her prince forsook the
smart rendezvous of Paris and
departed for Morocco, where
they established themselves on
the princes sheep ranch.
Happiness continued to reign
over the exiled ducal house
hold. The prince and Peg were
ideally wed.
, So happy we're the pair that
a year or two later the bride
grooms parents relented and
opened their arms to their son
and his American wife.
Peggy's father-in-law, the Due
de Vendome, died last year
and the Capital Cinderella is
now Queen of France, if a few
such matters as the French re-
public and other pretenderS
can be overlooked.

Winter Officially
Comes to Bismarck

Winter will make its official
bow in Bismarck at 7:15 o'clock
tonight.
This, according to Federal
Weather Observer o. w. Roberts,
is the beginning Of the winter
solstice, the time when the sun
Is "furthest south" before be-
ginning the return journey which
will place 1t In the northern sky
by June.
Wednesday also is the shortest
day in the year, judged by the
time between sunrise and sun
set. Official charts show the sun
rose at 1926 and will set at 1855.
The difference In the length Of
the day, however, was perceptible
only to an expert, since Wednes-
day was only a second or two
shorter than Tuesday. Thursday
will be about a second longer
than Wednesday.
Although Wednesday was the
shortest day, it saw neither the
latest sunrise nor the earliest
sunset. The latest sunrise is due
December Is. Between that date
and January 6 1t will rise at 8:29.
The earliest sunsets for this
season already have passed, be-
ing at asa p. m, from Deem
Der 6 to 10th.

The information Is desired as part
Of statewide survey and from the
data acquired the educational group
will offer suggestions to the legisla-
ture.
Although the county check is in
complete, it will show that some school
districts are practically bankrupt, it
was indicated Wednesday. Some dis
tricts have offered certificates of in
debtedness to the Bank of North Da-
kota but they were not purchased. AS
a result they are issuing and register
ing warrants to be paid when the
money becomes available.
In some districts teachers are un-

hard to turn deferred payment war
rants into cash.
The entire situation will be reviewed
