WINDSOR RTOMARRY
WITH ROYAL RING
Former British Monarch to
Follow Tradition of His
Younger Brothers.
BY the Associated Press.

Monts, France, May 22-Wallis
Warfield, 1t was learned today, will
be married with the same traditional
ring of British royalty she would
have received had Edward Windsor
been able to make her his queen
A source close to the Chateau
De Cande household disclosed the
Duke will slip a wedding ring Of
Welsh gold, similar to those worn
| by other wives of British royalty, on
Mrs. Warfield's third finger during
the civil marriage ceremony June g.
The former British monarch will
| follow the tradition of his younger
brothers, the Dukes of Gloucester and
Kent, who gave their brides rings
fashioned of gold from Wales.
The wedding ring was expected to
arrive from Paris jeweler over the
week end.
After the arrival Of Mrs. Warfields
Aunt Bessie" Mrs. D. Buchanan
Merryman Of Washington, D. c., and
| Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Bates, Americans
described as personal friends of the
Duke" preparations were made to
welcome q few other friends of the
bridal couple.
The chateau, which soon will see
the historic wedding of Windsor and
Mrs. Warfleld, began to take on a
more lively air as the guest rooms
gradually filled with new arrivals and
bright sun lured the company to the
private golf course after a week of
dismal rain.
The Duke and Bates played the
course yesterday. Mrs. Warfield and
MRS. Bates accompanied the players.
Numerous packages, believed to
contain wedding gifts, poured into the
chateau from the tiny Monts post
office.
Advices from Paris reported that
tne marriage contract signed by
EDWARD and Mrs. Wartield provided
tnat none OF the Dukes property
would pass to his bride-to-be without
q specific bequest. The document was
drawn up under British law.
The property of each thus would
remain separate in the case Of death
or divorce unless such 4 bequest was
made. Under French law each would
have been entitled upon marriage to
naf OF the others property.

ban on child labor.
The chief Of the committee for in

Chairman Connery, Democrat, of
