Girl Friend

Cadet Lieut. William J. Glasgow Jr. is one who is called a "big man" in the senior class at West Point. He is captain of the soccer team, member of most of the reception and prom committees, an honor cadet, a President's appointee, the son of a colonel. Now he is a much twitted cadet. Underclassmen salute him with a smirk in their eyes; seniors ask him how his girl friend is getting along.

Ileana, Princess of Rumania, is the girl friend. The villain in the case is the New York World, which last week published "a fairy story from life." It told how Ileana met her "Prince Charming" in the form of Cadet Glasgow at a West Point dance in October; how she returned two weeks later with her mother to watch him march in the rain; how, the day before sailing, she rushed up to West Point to have luncheon with Cadet Glasgow (and others). She had invited him to luncheon in Manhattan, but Superintendent Merch B. Stewart of West Point had said, "No."

Last week, Cadet Glasgow told a persistent World reporter: "I can't remember what the Princess talked about in particular. . . . It was what you would call 'light talk'. . . . Yes, I have an autographed photograph of the Princess, which I keep well hidden. ... I am going to Paris next summer, but not to Bucharest. . . . Royal Princesses always make marriages of state, you know."
