/ NEW YORK, May 25.-The first
time the Duke of Windsor met
Wallis Warfield Simpson she had
the snif1es and halfway made fun
of him.
! The love story that shook the
British Empire began at a week
end fox-hunting party in the coun-
try on a cold. dark, English win
ter day Of 1931-five years before
he became King of England.
| The Duke, who was then Prince
of Wales. noticed the fair stranger
amid the usual hunting crowd
apparently looking bored.
/ Wallis did not ride and OBJ
viously had no interest in horses
hounds or hunting in general, ~
the Duke writes in a new portion
of his memoirs in Life Magazine
this week.
She was also plainly in misery
from a bad cold in the head.
Since a prince by custom is
expected to take the lead in con-
versing with strangers, and hav-
ing been informed that she was
an American, I was prompted to
observe that she must miss CEN
tral heating-of which there was
a lamentable lack in my country
and an abundance in hers"
! The Duke said he expected her
to say yes, but she replied she
liked the cold houses of Great
Britain.
Il am sorry, sir, but you have
disappointed me-" she said.
! In what way?
Every American woman who
comes to your country is. always
asked that same question. I had
hoped for something more origina,

Before too long Mrs. Simpson
was taking the Princes eye
When she was presented at court
he stood behind his father
throne and was struck by the
grace of her carriage and natural
dignity of her movement" when
she made her ceremonial curtseys
to King George and Queen Mary
The thing that apparently
turned a casual friendship into
something more was the interest
Mrs. Simpson took in the Princes
visits to the depression stricken
areas in Britain.
She was genuinely interested ir
how the Prince of Wales went
about the job. 1t all began
with something as simple az
that"
In character Wallis was, anc

and from the first I looked upor
her as the most independent
woman I had ever met.
And then one day she begar
to mean more to me in a wa!

impression is that for a long time
she remained unaffected by my
interest.

Campus Notes
Pacific Lutheran College,
Falkland, Wash.

An unusual purchase was made
recently by the Lutheran Students
Association of Pacific Lutheran
College. The organization bought
railroad locomotive bell and is
going to send it to a mission sta
ton in Africa. This story has an
interesting history.
Miss Anne Fnudson, instructor
at PIC, met the Reverend Oscar
Rolander at a Luthern students
meeting. Rev. Rolander, a mission
airy to Africa who is spending
some time in the United States,
expressed to Miss, Knudson his
wish to have a bell for his mission.
When Miss. Knudson returned
to the school she preached the
subject of the bell for this mission
to the college Lutheran Students
Association. The organization de-
cided at once to do something
about the deficiency of bells in
Tanganyika and enthusiastically
set about the job. Sigrud Skart-
land of Pasco, Washington, found
suitable bell at the South Ia
coma railroad shops and the club
purchased it. 1t formerly rang
from the top of a locomotive and
it is still hanging in it's metal
n d. Heavy and substantial,
(about 300 pounds in weight the
device should fill the bill nicely
The bell is at the college await
ing Rev. Roander, who is now
teaching at Gustavus Adolphus
, College in st. Peter, Minnesota.
Rev. Rolander will come to PIC
for short time before he leaves
for Africa. His station there is the
Ehanja Mission in Tanganyika
British East Africa.
And so ends the story OF a rail-
road bell Six months from now
the clang of that bell should be
sounding far from here with a
new and perhaps better purpose

guided West Pointers in war and peace for

victory, and Lee the strength to turn bitter de-
