And those who heard him yesterday must have realized that there was a real danger there—for that man might have won over Parliament. Sportsman that he is, he devoted much of his remarks to praise and expressions of gra- titude to his mother, his brothers and Prime Minister Baldwin who opposed him. And when, at the close, he referred to Tiis brother | and successor, paused and concluded “God | Save the King!” there were millions from the Ganges to the Arctic who echoed “God Save David Windsor” Popular even in abdication, the young ex-ruler could be one of the most dramatic characters of mod- | ern times if he but had a political bent like some of | the spellbinders in other countries of Europe.

Newspapers, for the ex-King Typical of the sentiment which seems to prevail throughout is the following comment appearing re- cenddy in the Philadelphia Record: Millions of men and women heard one who had been a King reveal himself as something more—a man. Millions will never forget that speech. If eloguence consists of simplicity and sincerity, that was eloquence not often matched by the orators of history. Whether those who listened were for Prince Edward or against him, it was impos- sible not to be moved by his words. Perhaps he was wrong. But he knew he was right. That knowledge vibrated in his volce and filled his words with poetry. Here stood a man in London telling 500,- 000,000 of his former subjects over the radio why he was severing his relationship with them in order to be true to the woman he loved. Trained in a tradition of “dignity” that at time approaches the false and the spurious, Prince Edward felt strongly enough to cast aside reticence and say frankly: “I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to dis- charge my duties as King as T would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I love.” He said that because he felt his subjects had a right to know why he left the throne. - 1 ¥ ® Lingerie 1 ® Purses there | magazines | and public figures have come out almost unanimously "TOMORROW'S STYLES TODAY" OFFERING | New Christmas Gifts © Cezlume Jewelry PACKER TO PLEASE in Gift Folders or Boxes JUNEAU'S OWN STORE calories.—Honolulu Star-Bulletin. | (;ame ln Alaska [ (Seattle Business Chronicle) and more Alaska is becoming the ha))])\‘ Tourists come and go in increasing More hunting ground. ‘Humhc‘n but wealthy big-game hunters leave sizable willing to spend that much appears to be growing.

Dancing this winter is to be more popular than usual and brilliant balls will be given by persons who are not aware of the secret signifi- cance of gorgeous entertainments. Before old social orders change there is a mysterious influence which encourages the enjoyment of what is best and most impressive in passing customs. Hence, public fetes and Persons whose birthday it is have e the augury of a year of exciting ex- eriences. They should not be too trusting in dealing with friends. Children born on this day prob- ably will be progressive and determ- ined. Subjects of this sign of Cap- ricorn usually have unusual powers of mind. They are supremely inde- pendent. Edwin K.
