event, there should be provision for her majesty the queen and the members of his inajesty's family c. responding to the provisions which the house of commons has been willing to make in like cir- cumstances in the past"
 The message began:
 "The demise of the crown renders 1t necessary that renewed provision should be made for the civil list. His majesty places unreservedly at the disposal of the house of commons those hereditary revenues which were 50 placed by his predecessor, and has commanded that papers necessary for the full consideration of that subject shall be laid before the house."
 Possibility of Marriage
 He then referred to the possibility of his marriage.
 "fiis majesty" the message con- tinued, "also desires that suitable provisions should be made for hls royal highness the Duke of York as IlClT DEeOuIHpbiNC uIid Ah SCA vUHi events, for his family.
 "It is, however, his majcsty's ir- tention as long as the revenues of the ouchy of Cornwall are vested in himself, to make that provision 10: his royal highness the Duke of York and insofar as those revenues are sufficient, to provide for his majesty's private purse"
 The revenues of the Duchy or Cornwall, which the king held when he was Prince of Wales, amount to about $i,250,000 a year.
 His Faithful Commons
 "Tiis majesty recommends consid- eratIon of these several matters to his faithful commons" the message concluded, "relying on thelr attach ment to his person and his family to adopt such measures as may be suitable for tho occasion"
 Although the kings name has been linked romantically with many royal women in years past, the list Of those considered conceivably elig- ible to marry him has shrunls greatly.
 Prlncesses In View
 Among those remaining still ui1- wed are Princess Juliana of the Netherlands; Prlncesses Irene, Catherine and Eugenie of Greece; and Grand Duchess Kyre of Russia. But in discussions since Edwards ascension to the throne, most of these have been considered to be ruled out by reasons of religion, politics or other factors. This has given rise to some speculation as to whether he might not marry an English woman, as did his brother, the Duke of York, who is now heir to the throne. The Duke married the former Hon. Elizabeth Howes- Lyon.
 Although custom in the past has been against such a course, there appears to be nothing which would prevent the king from marrying a commoner if he chose.
 Never Sought Wife
 The king, during his years as Prince of Wales, appeared to have Q distinct apathy toward marriage. His mother, Queen Mary, is said to have tried many times to arrange a marriage, but he resisted all her attempts. He once remarked that he would marry when he was 8, and then Q princess of his mothers choosing, but that time passed eight years ago and he remained bache- Tor.
 Gossiping matchmakers have had him married" countless times since 1911, when he was only IT. At that time the possibility of a match with Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia daughter of the Kaiser, was dis culssed.
 Daughters of the late Czar of Russia, three Italian princesses, Princes Astrid of Sweden, who mar ried King Leopold of Belgium, and various spanish princesses, figured in subsequent gossiping. In l030, Lady May Cambridge daughter of the Earl and Countess of Athlone, Q distant cousin of King Edward. was a popular choice She Got Married But in l032 she was married to Capt. Abel Smith. a bankers son. Then the fancy of many match. makers set upon Princess Ingrid oi Sweden. She was considered tC have ali the necessary qualification
