EARLIER VIEWS.
PRINCE AND MARRIAGE. "Seven years ago/' states the "Literary Digest," "the Prince of Wales made a statement which, as King, he may still remember: 'During 12 hours every dav I have to be what other people want me to be. The rest of the time I can be myself. If I married, I should spend the rest of my time being what my wife wanted me to be.' He also said: 'I've never met the girl I would care to marry. When I do, I shall marry the girl.' "If he has had a change of mind it is reasonably certain that the successor to his affections knows where she stands. But whether the British monarch marries Mrs. Simpson or not, it is likely that their romance will go down in history bracketed with those of Abelard and Heloise, Antony and Cleopatra, and Romeo and Juliet."
