Uncommonly Comely Commoners Prove Lure
For Queen Victoria’s Great Grandsons
- W. ... .......
BY MILTON BRO.NNER
SEA Service Staff Correspondent
LONDON — Life-lovi. ; King Ed-
ward's preference for the com-
panionship of many ccmmoners—
best exemplified by his romantic
friendship with Mrs. Wallis Simp-
son of Baltimore. UB.A. — merely
proves him to be a true great-
grandson of Queen Victoria
This statement may surprise stu-
dents of Victorian history for that
indomitable queen was the epitome
of everything arch-royal. She was
so regal of manner that she In-
timidated her ministers frightened
her son (later King Edward VID
even when he was a middle-aged
man. and lectured to kings czars
and princes as if they were school-
boys.
But by the marriages of her off-
spring Victoria became the grand-
mother of most of the royalty of
Europe.
And it is a strange truth that
sooner or later in almost every one
of these royal families at least
one scion of the proud stock broke
away and • fell” for a commoner.
There is no story like it in all
royal history. The roil-call reveals
a whole series of royal romances.

Heir to Reich Throne
Renounced Rights
Victoria's first-born was Princess
Victoria. She married the German :
Prince who ior so brief a time was
Kaiser-Frederick of Germany. Their
eldest son was the present ex- >
Kaiser Wilhelm II. His eldest child
is the present ex-Crown Prince
Wilhelm. And his eldest child is
Prince Wilhelm who in June. 1933
married Miss Dorothea von Salviati
at Bonn.
The bride's father was. of course
not royal. He had been marshal of
the court of the eldest sister ot
Kaiser Wilhe.m. To marry the girl
of his choice the young bridegroom
i had to renounce all chances of
I ever coming to the throne of Ger-
i many if the Hohenzollem* are re-
stored.
Pastor Haun in marrying the
young couple said:
*T am glad you have taken a
* tirl of the people. The Hohenzol-
‘ Jems were always proud of being
! one with the people.”
Prince Wilhelm's marriaze to a
commoner has made as chief of

Queen Victoria
It probably was just as well that
Queen Victoria of England—shown
(renter) in a little-known por-
trait. as a demure girl of 19—had
no way of looking into the future.
For she was spared a spectacle
which might have shakrn her out
of the regal poise that made her
a symbol of proud royalty
throughout the world. The spec-
tacle is that of a large number of
her royal great grandsons form-
ing romantic attachments with
comely commoners. Milton Bron-
ner in this article reveals that
King Edward in enjoying the
companionship of Mrs. Wallis
Simpson of Baltimore. Md.. merely
is showing the same romantic
tendency displayed by many royal
cousins.

present King Carol of Rumania.
The owners of the English news-
papers who pretended to be so
shocked because American news-
papers printed full details of the
Simpson case were themselves
not at all reticent about the love
affairs of King Carol. The bars
were down. The sky was often the

In 1910 the American Red Cross
took the recently organized Na-
tional Tuberculosis Association into
partnership for the conduct of the
Christmas Seal saie. For ter year'
that is. until 1920 this partnership
existed and each year the seals
were sold as Red Cross Christina.'
Seals under the American Red
Cross subsidy but with the Nation-
al Tuberculosis Association and its
affiliated state and local associa-
tion reaping the benefits from the
sale. From Miss Bisscll's original
.sale of $3000 in Wilmington inter-
est grew in every nart of the United
States until in 1919. the last year
the Red Crass was associated with
the seal sale nearly $3900000 was
raised.
In 1920. the American Red Cross
desiring to concentrate on its own
annual membership roll call with-
drew from the partnership. Since
then the National Tuberculosis As-
sociation has been sole proprietor
of the Christmas Seal in the United
States and each year It authorizes
the forty-eight states and thousands
of local committees to sell the seels
and to carry on the fight against
tuberculosis Since 1920 the seals
have regularly borne only the
double-barred cross emblem of the
international fight against tuber-
culosis and the American Red Cross
is no longer in any way associated
with the Christmas Seal sale.
More than forty foreign coun-
tries have adopted Emar Holboell’s
idea and have used or are now
using Christmas Seals as a means
of support for their tuberculosis
programs. In the United States
practically all the work of the
state and local tuberculosis associa-
tions is supported by the annual
sale of these seals.

As this year s sale is now in pro- |
ritss. officials of the Public Health j
Nurses' Association which is super-1
vising the sale in Brownsville have
furnished history concerning the:
Christmas seal idea.
Back in 1903 in a little village of
Denmark a postmaster Elmar j
Holboell. got the idea of the
Christmas Seal as he was sorting
the voluminous Christmas mail. He
notired a great variety of cheery
greetings going to friends and rela- j
tives and he wondered why these
letters could not cam- a message
of health that would bring funds!
with which to fight disease Out i
of that thought grew the Christ- j
mas Seal.
The king and queen of Denmark
gave patronage to Elmar Holboell's;
idea and in 1904 the first seal be-1
rame a reality. Other Scandinavian
countries soon took up the idea
and in 1907 an American woman.
Emily P Bisaell. living in Wilming-
ton Delaware read an account of I
the Danish Christmas Seal in the
Outlook" and derided that if this
plan worked over there it was
worth trying in this country.
And so. in the Christmas season j
if 1907. Miss Bussell launched the j
first seal sale So successful was it j
and so enthusiastic was she over
the Inherent worth of the Christ-
mas Seal that she persuaded the
American Red Cross with which j
ihe was closely associated to try1
lut a natinn-wnde seal sale in the 1
fall of 1908. To the surprise of
cvenone interested this seal sale.
