careful of his health and more re-
Iigious.
Queen Distressed
A week or so ago the Queen was
most distressed upon receiving her
first reports of theKing's marriage
intentions. Her recent illness and
cold were aggravated by her dis,
turbed reactions to the Kings
plans.
But when King Edward con-
vinced his mother of the intense
sincerity of his feelings toward
Mrs. Simpson and of his firm in
tention to marry, the Queen is
said to have promised to help all
she could.
The Queen, it was said, consid-
ers Mrs. Simpson most charm
ing woman" She is particularly
delighted by the fact Mrs. Simpson
is keeping close watch upon the
Kings health, inducing him to
wear, for example, a hat and coat
in cold weather. For years the
King made it his practice to go
hatless and coatless in much the
fashion of Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh.
Things in Common
Queen Mary also is pleased that
Mrs. Simpson is a regular church
goer like herself. They have much
in common. Both have a keen in
terest in antiques, interior deco
rating and gardening. When Mrs.
Simpson visits the Kings country
home. Fort Belvedere, she spends
hours in caring for the flowers.
Queen Mary told King Edward
he must expect formidable oppo-
Sition to his wedding plans and
asked whether he would recon
slider his determination to marry
if the nation expressed sentiment
against such a step.
The kings answer was that he
did not think his subjects would
ever overrule his choice of a wife.
Mother, Son. Drawn Closer
Queen Mary'S prestige, COM
bined with her well-known re-
ligious character, is expected to
carry great weight with old titled
families and the church, both Of
which oppose the union. With the
queen on her side, Mrs. Simpsons
future social status is assured.

Smartly gowned in the height Of

and Spanish royalty and host Of
socially prominent persons.
The Duke of Kent, brother Of
King Edward, the Prince Regent
and Princess Paul of YugoSlavia

were guests of honor. The affair
was held for the benefit of the
English hospital in Zagreb. A
string quartet played selection

rank, property or title.
But Edward apparently does
not plan to marry the woman of
his choice with the left hand" or
morganatically. He is determined
that she shall snare the royal
prerogativeS in the most complete
sense. And thus it IS that, Parlia-
ment consenting, if children
should be born of the impending
union, new Anglo-American al
lance may come into existence.
Will England's future ruler be
half American, half English? It
may well be.
Most, if not all, American
Presidents have had British blood
in their veins. It is not incon-
ceivable that some day a King or
Queen of England will speak of
my beautiful grandmother, the
first American to marry a King"
But all that lies in the future.
For the present the story is suf-
fused in the soft glow of romance,
with wedding bells ringing softly
in the distance. and with all Eng
land aglow because the beloved
Edward has defied tradition to
announce his purpose to marry
for love the woman with the
most beautiful voice in the world" /"

'vember II, dealing in great detail
with the thorough manner Ameri
can newspapers have covered de
velopments in the romance. Il
thus became the first newspaper
in Great Britain to link King Ed
wards name with that of Mrs
Simpson in romantic vein.
"Flays" Imagination
Asserting it is characteristic Of
American journalism to feature
stories on the private affairs o1
public personages, The Evening
Citizen said:
Journalists of that country,
having discovered our King in
cludes among his intimate
friends a lady of American birth
and parentage are weaving won
derfully romantic stories with
an aSsiudity and ability that do
credit at once to their industry
and imagination.
"This journalistic romance,
which must have covered almost
as much space as the presi-
dental election, has now reached
the stage where it is boldly and
categOrically stated his majesty
will marry the lady in question
in June, 1887! ="
1--WE should not have referred
to this matter but for the fact
these American newspapers are
now circulating here as we'll as
in the British dOminions and
are OccasiOning a great deal of
gossip, some of which is scan
dalOus.
MANY people, having seen
American papers or heard the
gossip. are asking why nothing
has yet appeared in the British
press either to confirm these
stories or deny them.
mo CENSORSHIP"
"In Great Britain there is
no censorship and nothing to
prevent us from telling the
truth or commenting fairly
upon fact of public impor-
tance if such a fact comes to
our knowledge.
"But this freedom makes it
more incumbent upon us not to
circulate stories that cannot be
subStantiated and of which we
have no knowledge except gOs-
sip in coffee rooms and in the
columns of an alien, unreliable
press"

come Queen of England.
Would Inherit Throne
2. Should they have children of
their own, the eldest male child
in that case would succeed to the
throne, or if there were no male
heir, their eldest daughter.
3. Should their marriage prove
childless, the succession would pass
to the Duke of York, the Kings
eldest brother, if still living, or in
the event of his prior death to his
children-again the eldest male,
if there should be a male heir, or
in the absence of a male child, to
the eldest daughter. The younger
brothers of the present monarch
and the Duke of York are not in
line for the throne.
4. AS matters stand, those next
in line of succession in the event
of Edwards death are the Duke
of York and, thereafter, the blue
eyed, golden-haired, mischievous
and enormously popular Princess
Elizabeth, who at the age of 10
has captured the hearts of her
countrymen as have few children
of the royal line. Will England
some day have another Queen Eliz-
abeth, strong willed and beautiful
and brave? It is possible. It is even
probable. If no sons should be
born to her parents or to the
Edward-SimpSon marriage, Eng
land will.
5. In any event, considering that
the Duke of York married the
popular and likewise lovely Lady
Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, herself a
commoner, the future ruler of
England will be half royalty. half
commoner-and how the common
erS of England cheer this prospect!
Will Strengthen Throne
There were those who thought
Edward, in marrying the Ameri-
can divorce, would endanger his
throne. It now appears he will
strengthen it. For England, like
all the world. loves a lover, and
the plain people of England see in
his future consort one of them
selves or at least one who may be
expected to understand and SYM
pathize with the struggling mass
at the bottom of the social heap.
Problems involving royal prop
erty and prerogatives, the status
of the prospective queen in case
of her husbands death, her precise
position in the royal scheme while
he lives, remain to be solved. But
queen she will be, if Edward has
his way and if she and Edward
live until June, and queen she will
remain, if Parliament assents,
while Edward lives and loves her.
Morganatic marriages in Europe

Archduke Francis Ferdinand, of
Austria, married morganatically

Such marriages are defined as a

"And so Cinderella and the
Prince were married, to the
great jubilatiOn of the people,
and ruled the kingdom Justly
for many years."
Poru into the crucible of his
tory all the royal romances of al
the ages, and out of it will come
none more fascinating to al
classes of people than the current
romance of Edward Albert Chris
tian Andrew Patrick David, other
wise King of England, and tht
lovely American-born Wallis War

Simpson and before that of Com
mander E. Winfield Spencer, o.

COMMONERS FOR KING
For as news of the royal 70
nance of England's popular bach
elor ruler has filtered through
the British press censorship tc
the British people, the common
ers, according to reports from
overseas, have rushed not only
to defend, but to praise the King
choice, and to express in many
ways their enthusiasm over the
prospective marriage of the oc
cupant of the worlds greatest
throne with a beautiful woman
without royal rank whom he hap
pens to love devotedly.
But, with it all, there are still
puzzles to solve, involving such
things as titles, property, and the
succession to the throne. For
England must look always not
alone to the present but to the
future. Kings pass, but Britain
lives! Thrones are vacated only
to be filled. Dying rulers are sue
ceeded by living rulers.
So Englishmen of erudition and
background and breeding and
wealth and the other attributes of
aristocracy, who have kept the
empire together for many years
by giving the people what they
want and even anticipating their
needs, knit their browS and con.
suit tradition and precedent and
law in an effort to learn just how
the marriage of the happy pair
will affect the throne, and who
shall occupy it when Edward
passes on years hence to join his
fathers.
Enter HypotheSes
King Edward is AZ. Mrs, Simp-
son is about the same age-Some
say a year or two older. Her
previous marriages have been
childleSs. At that point enter the
suppositions, the hypothesis, the
speculation and the study of all of
the questions raised by the facts
as they stand.

lecture come these possibilities,
