NOTE: This Is the fourth chapter from the'book MOTHER AND QUEEN, just published. Mrs. Crawford, as governess, was in the royal household ‘for seventeen years.

By MARION. CRAWFORD Governess of the Little Princésses CHAPTER FOUR KING EDWARD must often have talked with his mother about Mrs. Simpson before that day in Octo-

ber, 1936, when he decided to bring matters to a head at an

audience he granted to Prime

Minister Baldwin. .

And it was to Queen Mary |

that Mr. Baldwin went, over and over again, during the swift, delicate negotiations that followed. He drove straight from cabinet meetings to Marlborough House to seek guidance from her store of wise experience, and inspiration from the love she bore her children. And King Edward A went straight from his conferences with Mr. Baldwin to talk with his mother. She was the first to know that he had made up his mind to marry Mrs. Simpson, come what may. That he told her before he told the Prime Minister or anyone else was revealed by Mr. Baldwin in his historic address to the House of Commons. King Edward spent the last afternoon of his reign with his mother, who drove over to Fort Belvedere to talk with him. The talk became “a “family conference as it was joined later by the Duke of York and the Duke

of Kent. 8 8 8 &

THE NEXT DAY, Queen Mary, in unaccustomed black, drove to 145 Piccadilly, to spend the afternoon with her daugh-ter-in-law, the Duchess of York, soon to be Queen. While the two women talked, the news of the King’s fateful decision was given to the hushed House of Commons, and so to the world. The same evening Queen Mary drove to the Royal Lodge, Windsor, to join all her sons at a sad farewell party given by the new King, George VI, to his brother, Prince Edward. After dinner they all talked for a while, and then the abdicating King left, alone, for Windsor Castle to make the broadcast speech which brought sadness to the nation’s hearts and tears to the nation’s eyes. “ . «+ You must believe me when I tell you that I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility,

have taken the green out of blue cheese. They have discovered mutant forms of the roquefort-type mold without the characteristic greenmottled coloring: The bacteriologists say the green and White molds are the same but the white mold grows without adding extra iron ‘to fresh milk used for the theese. They say tests show the white mutants make a satisfactory cheese and require only one-third to one-half the ripening time of the green mold. :

ALEXANDRIA BAY, N. Y. (UP)—Mrs. Margaret Ann Shindler celebrated her 103d birthday but wasn’t too impressed by all the fuss over her age. Her grandmother, Mrs. Shindler recalled, lived to be 107 and was still able to walk three miles to church. -

Tt was a personal message to the nation from her own hand that Queen Mary wrote: “I need not speak to you of the distress which falls on a mother’s heart when I think that my dear son has deemed it to be his duty to lay down his charge, which had begun with so much hope and promise has suddenly ended.” 2 Always duty!

passed since Mrs, Simpson stepped on the stage of history, Queen Mary, playing her own great, dignified role in the heart of the drama, has set eyes on her only once. That was at a party, early in the association, when Mrs. Simpson appeared as a casual acquaintance, a) woman apparently of little importance. Queen Mary has never received her, either as Mrs. Simpson, or as Duchess of Windsor. When the Duke of Windsor makes one of his brief visits to London he goes first, alone, to see his mother. Occasionally he has stayed overnight at Marlborough house. Usually, he goes then to stay “with relatives and friends at their homes where his wife 1s received. Sometimes his visits take him near Ft. Belvedere, the now empty: and forlorn scene of his most poignant memories. But always he has gone first to Marlborough House to see his mother, Queen Mary,

If You'd Retire, Make Preparations UE

NOTE: Mr, Kaighn served for 15 years as chairman of the YMCA Retirement Fund. In this capacity he helped over 7000 persons prepare for old age. He now is a happily retired man himself. Here he suggests practical plans and ideas for retirement he has worked out in the course of his long experience. This is the first of six articles from his book, HOW TO RETIRE AND LIKE IT, just published by Association Press.

By RAYMOND P. KAIGHN CHAPTER ONE ’ FOR A LONG journey

you get ready well in advance, and .in great detail.

You do not just jump on a train without ticket or baggage or without any idea of where you are going. Retirement is not an experience to drift into, It calls for preparation. Well, what is there to prepare for? If you already have the notion that retirement for you is like looking down a narrowing funnel, there is nothing le prepare for. To sit in the chimney corner and dream of the past, to sit

on. the shelf and collect cobwebs, or to rust on the scrap

heap does not require preparation, . The assumption is that your years of retirement are to be zestful, happy, and useful, There are plenty of practical considerations, therefore, that will occur to you when you reflect on the subject. When you have retired, your income will be less. How will you manage about that? How will you spend your time? Where will you live? How will you keep healthy? Will your relationships with folks be any different? What practices will it be well to drop? What skills carry over to retirement? What new things should you be learning now to use later?

The working years of many of us settle us into ruts. Day in and day out, we follow the same pattern of thought and activities. If ‘this is called to our atterition, we justify ourselves by saying that # is nec essary to the holding of our job. Even a salaried worker in a great city, with its thousands of bids for one's interest, instruction and diversion, can live in a groove too deep for him to see over the edges. To such a

one, suddenly yanked out into.

an unprepared-for retirement, the feeling must be like that of a turtle that loses its shell, = Ld = MY INQUIRIES among a large group of retired men indicated that their biggest problem was adjusting themselves to a reduced income. How can one prepare for that? One answer would be to try living on a reduced income before you have to. Train for it. An athlete gets ready fdr a contest by a gradual hardening process that calls for self-denial and practice of his skill. That famous chapter, “Habits,” in Prof. William James’ Principles of Psychology, comes to mind, with its injunction to practice ‘daily some self-denial to build up reserves against the time when the self-denial may be a necessity.

experience you are off the regular payroll. This building of a supplementary fund during the earning years has been accomplished in different ways. In some instances, a fixed percentage of salary goes into a savings bank, or one of the several governmental savings plans, or a Building and Loan Association. One couple, through a decade

or more, saved their dimes— | and were pleasantly surprised |

at the result. Other salaried workers “make something on the side” in such ways as selling insurance, making deals in real estate, writing stories and articles,
