cent, but which occasionally permit
ted slip of infection that proclaimed
her long years Of residence in Eng

fight back-tel your side Of the
thing?"
But what can I do; what can I
say?"
You might say whether or not you
think this matter is going to interfere
with the coronation" the visitor said
as tactfully as possible.

you mean. you
mo. can't say anything about that,
really" Mrs. Simpson cut in quickly.
Did you know, Mrs. Simpson, that
they have organized in America a
Simpson for Queen movement"
The answer to this was a prolonged
burst Of laughter. She chuskled for
several seconds. while making discon-
nected incredulous remarks such as
"Oh, MOI" and Not really?"
All trace of the reported resentment
about how the American press and
American people had reacted to the
news of the royal romance had dis
appeared
Aren't you glad, Mrs. S.-I beg
your pardon, but I am in the habit
OF referring to you as Mrs. S.-to
bring two peoples together-hearts
across the sea, and all that?"
Again Mrs. Simpson chuckled with
genuine amusement as she said:
Il don't know There is nothing
can say. You must excuse me-"
She was still laughing as she hung

Mrs. John Allan Dougherty's
nephew is the father of three
children under the age of 6,
who know her only as Aunt

Mrs. Dougherty's wishes; so,
while in New York last week
she decided to purchase a Sum-
mer residence at Westport,
Conn, where she may have the
youngsters with her during the
hot months.
Too, it is a convenient place
for her, for it is only an hours
ride from New York, and she
hopes to have many house
guests make that short trip to
spend week-ends at her home.
The house is typical New Eng
land style, white clapboard, and
is only a short distance from
the Sound.
AS soon as the Theodore W.

they telephoned Mrs. Dough-
erty to tell her Of their excit-
