WINDSOR IS GUIDED, BY RS, SHPSON Appears to Like Rules That Curtail Liquor—Mash Mail Tide Ends. By the Associated Press. MON France, May 8—Wallis Simpson clit down today on the Duke of Windsor's tobacco, beauty sleep and “hard” liquor. Apparently her royal lover liked it. It also was obvious he did not miss the perfumed “mash mail” that has followed him around in his self- exile since he abdicated as King Ed- ward VIII last December. The notes from “lady admirers” haye fallen ofll to nothing. i Employes at the Chateau de Cande noted Edward's smoking had been cut in half and that he retired earlier than usual. Mrs. Simpson also is said to have suggested that light wine be substi- tuted for cocktails and other hard liquor, and earlier rising for good morning air. Friends said the duke is accepting these suggestions eagerly as making for health and happiness. He also may confine his flying to a minimum, as Mrs. Simpson has requested. Police said night detectives would be placed about both the duke's and Mrs. Simpson's suites because of threatening letters she has received. They ascribed the letters to cranks. Monts authorities have received sim- Peeresses TYPES OF CORONETS TELL OF THEIR RANK. A DUCHESS at King George’s coronation will wear a coronet with eight gold strawberry leaves encircling the head. llar letters, warning against any cele- | bration of the wedding. | With Herman L. Rogers of New | York, Edward played golf again this afternoon. His pet terrier “Snooky” and Mrs. Simpson’s terrier, who fol- | lowed the golfers. had to be kept from | running away with the ®alls at cach green. | The duke and his bride-to-be strolled arm in arm through the full- | blooming apple orchard of the chateau this morning, ¢scussing their future plans. | Local civil authorities still were puz- | rled, however, as to whether their services would be needed for the wed- ding ceremony. | 8o far as is known, no application | has been made for a French civil cere- | mony. Some quarters expressed belief | the marriage ¥ould take place at a British consulate, some time after next Wednesday's London coropation. A dozen garden chairs and tables | arrived at the chateau today, believed to be intended for a garden reception on the wedding day. Mrs. Simpson was busy this after- | noon trying the wedding clothes she | has bought in Paris. i | Coronation (Continued From Pirst Page.) ping berthed at Southampton today, all laden with coronation visitors. Cross-channel hoats started ferry serv- | ice on special schedules. Transport | planes from the continent waited long | enough only to discharge their passen- | gers, refuel and soar off again. A modern coronation cavalcade, motor- ized, converged on London, clogging & web of roads. Trains chugged into | terminal sheds with the regularity of | trip hammers. | The city, preened and lager for the momentous day when the King and | Queen will be crowned, was' prepared | for everything—except the weather— but the forecaster made no promises. | Finishing touches and last-minute | precautions were being made every- | where. Final details of plans for the coronation itself, inside the A_bbey. church, disclosed that the King and Queen will not go hungry after being erowned. | A half-hour luncheon interval was arranged and preparations were made for royal servants from Buckingham Palace to attend their majesties just before they start the driv back to| the palace through the streets. ! They will not leave the Abbey until | fust before 2 pm. (8 am., Eastern| standard time), although the first | part of the return processior whichl takes 40 minutes to pass, will form about & half hoyr earlier. The processions to the Abbey—three of them—begin at Buckingham at 9:30 a.m. (3:30 a.m., Eastern standard | time). | Most of the peers and peeresses will have to wait almost two hours after the services are over before they can leave. Many, fore-warned, will have reticulee with sugar and chocolate to stay their hunger. Meteorologists looked to their in- | struments and Londoners to the skies, | but the best they could do was: | “Things a°bit unsettled; occasional | rains possible coronation week.” » Much depends on the weather, pleas- ure or a soaking for procession watch- ers, good business or bad for refresh- ment vendors, comfort or discomfort inside the old and cold Abbey. d to some knockers-on-wood bright skies will mean a happy reign, showers an unhappy omen for George VI . Which "Jraises the questions of omens * * * Good omen: A ray of sunshine through the Abbey window glinted on Wictoria’s crown during the corona- tion in “King's weather.” Bad omen: Torrents fell at the installation of William and Mary * * * the crown almost fell from the he of Henry I * * * Mary Tudor's crown was 80 heavy she had to use her hand to hold her head erect * * * a bat get loose in the church during the coro- nation of Richard I * * * a peer slid on a pudding and was killed ducing that of Edward II. Some superstitious Britons recall that the maltese cross surmounting the crown dropped into the street as Edward VIII—who had notorious weather during the abdication crisis— ‘walked in the cortege at the funeral of his father, George V. Despite the thinning ranks of roy- alty since the coronation of George V, a galaxy of crowned rulers will be in London Wednesday. Among the absentees will be the de- posed royal families of Russia, Ger- many, Spain,® Austria-Hungary and Turkey. Four Kings already have arrived, Christian of Denmark, George of Greecs, Haakon of Norway and Boris of Bulgaria. None, however, is an official delegate. Y. Among the titled European repre- eentatives are Crown Princess Juliana and Prince Bernhard, her consort, for Queed Wilhelmina of The Nether- lands; the Count of Flanders, brother of King Leopold, for Belgium;" the iPrince of Preslav, Boris' brother, for Bulgaria. « Also Crown Prince .

Every gem in the flashing crowns of George and Elizabeth, embedded through centuries of tumult and change, could tell a story: Of Edward the Confessor, the first British King THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON and builder of the first Westminster Abbey . . . of the Battle of Agin- court . . . of the coming of the Tudors « . . of the Commonwealth . . . even of Col. Thomas Blood, the burly Irish adventurer, who almost got away with the crown jewels in a daring raid in the Tower of London in 1761. King George will be crowned with the crown of England, St. Edward's crown. When he leaves the Abbey to return to Buckingham Palace, how- ever, he will change to the imperial crown of state. It is lighter. Queen Elizabeth’s crown is new, but #t contains the most daszling jewel of them all—the huge Koh-I-Noor dia- mond, for which legions of men died in Indian jungle conquest, rulers were deposed and blinded and which once only the most favored harem beauties were allowed to see. . Scotland Yard detectives began to- day a search for a coronet, thet of the Duchess of Hamilton, which her household reported ‘“stolen or mis- Iaid, although we do not think it Wwas mislaid.” The duchess wore it at the coronation of King George V in 1911. When she sent to her home in Scotland to get her robes it was gone. . Aside from' pomp and pageantry, the coronation of George VI will be a solemn religious service, He will be “hallowed” as the Lord’s anointed, given religious sanction to rule a people. He will become the new “su- preme governor on earth” of the Church of England. He will be consecrated almost in the manner of a bishop, with anointe ment, prayers and litanies and the laying-on of hands. The ehurch regards the King's vest- ments as sagerdotal garments. He will be vested, for instance, with what is known as the colobium sin- donis, & linen vestment similar to the alb a priest wears beneath the chas- uble, and with the supertunice, a vestment similar to & bishop’s tunicle. The royal robe has the appear- ance of a ocope, and even the royal regalia _are symbolic of the Christian virtues. The golden apurs are the spurs of chivalry, the sword is the sword of mercy. . “Merrie England” will not crown a merry monarch next Wednesday. George VI has the reputation of be- ing the most abstemious male ruler of Britain m more than a century. He is not a teetotaler, however, just & sparing drinker who lifts an occa- sional glass. Court circles say he has less taste for spirits than his predecessors: His brother, Edward VIOI; his father George V or his convivial grandfather, Edward VII. Modern touches in an ancient cere- mony: An auxiliary short-wave transmit- ter has been installed under the eaves of Westminster Abbey in case the [*British Broadcasting System's regular apparatus breaks down Between 80 and 90 tons of sand along the streets of the professional route will give the horses a better hoof-hold . . . | Floodlighting . . .

The line of royal descent rests squarely with the curly-haired, blue- eyed “Lillibet,” though a.baby brothr would change all that. The princesses are spending a quiet week end with the King and Queen at the royal lodge in Windsor, where they have their favorite toys and a tiny house with a miniature garden.

T, Cincinnati, today toid the Baltimore Archdiocésan Con- vention of the Catholic Students’ Mis- sion Crusade “we have to offset the other organizations working against the church and Government.” Pather Frekine, national secretary of the organization, recalled that Maryland was the first State to grant “absolute and .complete tolerance in religious beliefs.” He said such a tradition should inspire Maryland’s Catholic youth to spread the Christian faith in “pagan lands and in mission sections of this country.” The convention opened its three-day meeting with & plea by Miss Dorothy Smith, Frederick, welcoming speaker, to *“combat communism—our most insidious enemy.” Tomorrow morning, the apostolic delegate to the United States, Rev.
