Next day the royal party journeyed by way of Geneva to Budapest amid whose Gypsy dance clubs Mrs. Simpson, in a dinner coat of spun glass, first became notable as his partner (TIME, March 11). Last week the Hungarian Secret Service recalled that during his visit last year only the most strenuous efforts kept out of newsorgans the fact that H. R.
