The American people

The American people, are tagged as
being emotional, but there was little evil
dence of emotionalism or hysteria when
the NRA was invalidated by the Supreme
Court, and the invalidation of the AAA
did not create such great rumpus either.
Even official Washington was surprised at
the calmness with which the nation as a
whole received the news.

LIKES BEING
CELEBRITY

Dorothy KiIgdllen, girl re-

of her life" in the nerry-go-
round of receptions that haze
greeted her since her 'round-the-

BY DOROTHY KILGALLEN
NEW YORK, Oct. 81 GN.S0.
I've always loved merry-go-rounds
but this celebrity whirl is the
fastest, maddest one I've ever
been on!
No use to pretend it isn't fun.
Silly to say I don't like riding
behind police escorts and opening
boxes of flowers and signing for
kilograms and being page one
news myself.
Since I landed on home ground
I haven't been able to catch my
breath. Every time 1 look up I
look into camera, every time I
sit down I have to stand up and
make a speech, every time I
think, nov for a long, long
rest" someone reminds me where
I have to be in Is minutes.
don't know when I last slept
Il think it was aboard the China
Clipper somewhere between Homo
lulu and Alameda-but I can al
ways sleep: I can't always be a
celebrity; pretty soon I will wake
up and the alarm clock will be
ringing and I will find myself
again with an assignment to cover
the morgue or take an early cut
ter down the bay.
I've done that before; before I
started covering towns like Bag
dad and Calcutta, Athens and
Jodhpur.
Since then the world has raced
by like telegraph poles past a
train window. Each new dot on
the map was one more lap of the
trip past. Every time I shook the
dust of another town off my shoes
I took a deep breath of relief be-
cause it meant one more worry
over.
I wish I were Cinderella. I'd
kick off my glass slippers and go
right to bed.

In one box there was a sealed
envelope. Kate took it to the

share the thrill of the moment
even with Caroline.

When Kate went indoors again
her bronze eyes were shining. her
cheeks flaming like the roses. She
scmed to Caroline to be in sort

vases tall enough to hold the
flowers, so they had to use a 10
gallon mIlk-can.
Caroline thought, ruffling her
aSh-blond hair with tired and
dirty fingers, "Of all the things
we don't need today it's three
dozen American Beauty roses"
There flashed into her mind
the basket of heavenly food Nor
gan might have sent in place of
them "a cake, potted meats,
olives, homemade rolls from the
Exchange, some of those attrac-

was very hungry, for, like the
others, she had had no lunch. The
kitchen stove was not up yet. Sup
per was still only a mirage
But Kate fed her soul on the
flowers and did not know that
she was hungry.

Simrson, of Baltimore and Paris,
met King Edward VIII while ne
was the Prince of Wales three
Years ago in London. Her brun-
cite beauty and "snappy' person
alitv attracted the bachelor mon
arch at their first meeting and he
began seeing her frequently.
Their first meeting was at a
marty given over the weekend at
his residence at Fort BelVedere
where the king as a Dachelor
princc kept bachelor quarters
The former Thelma Morgan, Lady
Furness, was a friend then OF tne
kings and told him she wanted 10

She said they would be terri
b)v pood fun" He must have
thought so, too, for after meeting
Mr.. and Mrs. Simpson there the
king stopped seeing, and talking
to, Lady Furness. :, c;.,,,,
Shortly after that MIS- '0i"Ip
son was presented at court, ana
her presence with the then Prince
of Wales soon began to attract
international attention.
Mrs. Simpson liked to dance
and so did the Prince of Wales.
They were seen foX-trottinig'
waltzing, tangoing and doing the
rhumba at the fashionable Spots
of the Riviera and all over Eu-
rope. The summer of 1884 their
constant companionship grew IN
to greater notice. w
When the prince went to kitz-
buehl in the Austrian mountains;
when he went to Vienna and Bud
apest, when he spent a holiday III
Biarritz; at home, when ne went
to the Grand National at Alntree
Mrs. Simpson did, too, in his
company. >.
Last summer, when the king
went on MS Mediterranean holi-
day cruise in the luxury yacht
Nahin, Mrs. Simpson was among
the guests. She was with him on
shore excursions in Greece, in
Turkey, in the Balkan countries
where they paused on the way
back to London.
In September, Mrs. Simpson
was a guest at Balmoral Castle in
Scotland, not far from Aberdeen.
Two other Americans were also
guests then-Mr. and Mrs. Her.
man l.. RogerS-and the KING
drove to Aberdeen himself to
meet his guests.
On Oct. 2, the king came down
to London again to spend the
evening with the queen mother,
Mary. who had moved out of
buckingham Palace where she had
lived with the alte King George
for more than a quarter century.
She now resides in Marlborough
house. Her objection to her sons
frequent companionship with Mrs.
Simpson also is common gossip in
LOlluOH.
The dark-eyed American beauty
the next day announced she plan
ned "to live and entertain her
until after King Edwards
next May" at her new
home at 16 Cumberland Terrace,
London. She had lived for some
time in an apartment in Bryan
stone Court. where the king as
Prince of Wales frequently was
a dinner guest.
Mrs. Simpson will be among the
guests to visit the king at Sand
ringham shortly, according to the
latest announcement Of her social
plans.
