Millions of other girls have said that Helen lived up to it put on boy's clothes, went through the boys' high school to the senior class, earning her way "digging ditches, mending fences."

The Former King Edward has bid farewell to England, and England and the rest of the world bid farewell to the young man, who told his people: "I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility without the help and support of the woman I love."

Congress resumes work soon; what will it do, and try to do? How will it interpret the 46 to 2 vote.
