All Is Forgiven

In Oxford there are two things named Isis --a river where undergraduates row, a newspaper in whose columns undergraduates row. Much water having flowed through the Isis locks since December 1936, when Edward of Britain demoted himself to David of Windsor, Oxford's Isis undergraduates last week urged his return home with his wife.

Said the Isis: "We want no English pretender. God forbid. But if it is indeed their wish to return to England, we will give them such a welcome as they have never seen before. To the Duchess in particular, whether as her Royal Highness or just as the chosen wife of the man who for so many years served this nation as few have served it, we will show that courtesy is not wholly dead among the middle and lower classes of the British people."

Deeply touched, the Duke signed a two-year lease for an $85,000 house at No. 24 Boulevard Suchet, Paris, and moved in.
