instead to visit the Prince and
Princess Paul at their summer
home on Lake Bled, YugoSlavia.
This excited some comment be-
cause il was known that Princess
Marina would be there. However,
the two we're second cousins and
frequently had met before. For
the last six society seasons, Marina
has visited London and dashed
about in a whirl of parties. She
frequently was seen dancing both
with George and Edward, but
Mavfair's unofficial observers had
attributed such attentions to
mere cousinly courtesy.
If either of the princes was
smittten with the fair-skinned,
brown-haired, talented Marina,
they kept their feeling we'll oon-

friends. And, just possibly, from
each other.
TN fact, it may have been that
l. the round of Mayfair &C
tivities had prevented P. G.. and
his attractive young relative from
discovering how many tastes they
shared.
If so, the propinqUity afforded
at beautiful Lake Bled worked
quickly to enlighten them. Golf,
tennis, motoring, hunting, fishing,
dancing. music. books--all were
common hobbies. Prince George
is a fine amateur musician. Often
he has played the piano for dane
ing at intimate little parties, and
sometimes he accompanied him.

He is acknowledged to be the

Samuel Untermyer of New York,
the new, anti-NaZi, international,
non sectarian council plans to
tighten the world boycott of Ger
man goods as a further blow at
Hitler.
Germany's exports continue to
decline. Payments on external
obligations practically have ceased.
Foreign exchange is insufficient to
buy the raw materials necessary
to keep her industries going. The
Nazi program of national recov-
cry, therefore, is obliged to slow
down. Gold reserves are prac-
tically nil and credit abroad vir-
tually has collapsed.
Within the Reich the national
life is rationed and regimented, in
many ways, such as it never was
in war time.

Today the clash appears to be
between these two organizations,
with the betting on the army. The

Versailles permits to have 100000
men, now has several times that

f1nest-drilled body of it's kind in
the world.

ROYAL LOVERS INSEPARABLE PAIR
Happy in Romance Marina Changes Dcncanor Match Position

They drove into Salzburg to at
tend concerts, Of which both are
extremely fond They went shop
ping, and walked along the streets
hand in hand while the populace
beamed.
BY Sept. 7 it was necessary for
both to begin preparations for the
wedding So they left together
for Paris, stopping en- route in
Munich and exploring the city in
cognito. Then came a few more
delightful days together in Paris,
and finally the prince left his
fiancee and returned alone to
England
Here his first job was to select
a magnificent sapphire and plati-
mum engagement ring.
A few days later a tremendous
throng gathered about London
station. The princess was arriv-
ing. OnlookerS cheered as the
train drew in, and as Marina
stepped from a coach. The cheer
ing grew as the popular prince
dashed up and kissed her. Kissed
her with an ardor untempered by
the stares of the excited crowds.
ON Sept. II her first formal
~ meeting with the bride
grooms parents took place at Bal
moral castle. Next there were a
few gay days of motoring and
sports, including deer stalking.
One afternoon the two danced a
Highland Reel, and Georges in
structor was none other than
Queen Mary herself. The gayest
prince proved an apt pupil, for he
is expert at all the modern
dances.
It's likely that the future moth
er-in-law dropped a hint or two
regarding Marina's public de-
meanor, for the princess no longer
smiled brightly for photographers,
or held a lighted cigaret. After
their return to London, however,
they were constantly together on
shopping trips, and George
bought his fiancee some exquisite
jewelry
They drove by moonlight along
the Thames; attended few par
ties, and were almost mobbed by
thousands of cheering women
when they lunched at a London
hotel.
Now and then Marina found
time to sit for a portrait which
she intends as a gift to her f1ance.
Then she had to dash off to Paris
to complete her trousseau. Tele-
phone calls and huge bouquets of
flowers from the prince followed
her everywhere on her rounds.
And finally, her preparations
completed, she was able to return
to London, to live at Buckingham
palace until today-the wedding
day.
