Cannes, Jan. 10, Mrs. Simpson, for the first time since her arrival in Cannes, agreed to talk to the Press to-night, and re- ceived reporters before dinner. Her hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Regeru were with her as they entered the cosy drawing-room of the Villa Lou Vici.
When it is ready a new coat-of- arms will be suspended above it. It will show the Royal Arms "differ-c enced," as the Heralds say, to show that the holder has no longer any rights of inheritance.

a
French motor manufacturer, is unfamiliar with American customs he was able single-handed to defeat two armed bandits who tried to rob his wife et costly jewels in front of the Hotel Plaza in Fifth Avenue.
Madome's clarion voice helped to nut the robbers to rout, though no police appeared and other New York- ers who heard the disturbance "knew enough" to leave the robbers alone.

Finally they were glad to leap in- to their own car and slip away.
