He accomplished the virtually impossible by obtaining a Man hattan apartment, something thou sands search for unendingly with out result. Carl Johan, 29-year-old grandson of King Gustav V, made his plans well in advance. He arranged for the apartment four months ago and had it ready to receive his bride to-be, 35-year-old Mrs. Kerstin Wijkmark on her arrival from Stockholm on St. Valentine’s Day. Until their wedding day—next Tuesday at the Interdenomination al Riverside church—the Prince will live at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. They plan a honeymoon in western United States. When the Prince and his bride move into the 11th floor apartrrfmt on East 57th street, the name on the doorbell will be just plain “Mr. and Mrs. Carl J. Bernadotte.” Bernadotte is the family name of the Swedish Royal House. Mrs. Wijkmark was a newspa perwoman and editor of a Stock holm magazine. She met the Prince six years ago at a party in honor of his birthday. Carl Johan has a job which calls for setting up a New York office for the Anglo-Nordic Trading com pany, a Scandinavian firm, for a man renouncing claim to the Swed ish throne, he was not the least perturbed when he met Mrs. Wijkmark at the dock and pre sented her with two boxes of violets as a Valentine gift. • “After, all, I am only fourth in line for the throne,” he said. And, it wasn’t as though he were the first Swedish prince to forsake the royal house for love. He said his older brother, Prince Sigvard did it and so did his great uncle, Prince Oscar; his uncle, Count Folke Bernadotte, and his cousin, Prince Lennart. Both emphasized that renouncia tion of the prince’s royal claims did not mean exile or that the king frowned on the wedding. “It is merely a question of Swed ish law,” he said. “The law says that a person of the royal family may not marry a Swedish subject. Corbett-Case Vows Spoken At Pantego PANTEGO, Feb. 16.—A wedding of beauty and dignity was solem nized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George E. Case, Here, on Monday, February 11, at 6:30 o’clock when their youngest daughter, Miss Mary Evelyn Case, became the bride of William Murphy Corbett of White Lake. The vows were sipoken before the'Rev. Hilary T. Bowen of Balti more, Md., at an improvised altar in the living room of the home, formed of southern smilax, ferns and pine, with floor baskets of white gladioli and snapdragons. Silver candlelabra holding burning cathedral tapers completed the nuptial scene. The double ring ceremony was used. The wedding music was ren dered by Miss Florence Bright, who played the traditional wed ding marches. The bride entered on the arm of her father, by whom she was1 given in marriage. She was at tired in a street length dress of winter white wool, with black ac cessories and wore a shoulder corsage of purple and white or chids. The bride was attended by her sister, Mrs. Lester Brown, who wore a green tailored wool dress with hat to match and black ac cessories. Her shoulder corsage was of white canations and tube roses. The groom was attended by his nephew, Edwin Reeves, Jr., as best man. Mrs. Case, mother of the bride wore a black crepe frock and a shoulder corsage of white carnations. Immediately following the cere mony the families of the bride and bridegroom were entertained at a buffet supper by Mr. and Mrs. Case. The dining room table was covered with a handsome cut work cloth and centered with a three tiered wedding cake, topped with a miniature bride and bridegroom. Assisting in serving were: Mrs. O. B. Ross and Miss Florence Bright. The bride, is a graduate of Woman’s college of the University of North Carolina. She taught in the Elizabethtown high school fol lowing her graduation and for the last three years has been employ ed as bookkeeper by the Corbett Brothers at Crystal Beach, White Lake. The bridegroom is the son of Mrs. W. M. Corbett and the late Mr. Corbett of near Atkinson. He If my fiancee were a so-called commoner of any other nationality I could marry her and retain suc cession with consent of the king and parliament.” He explained that parliament would cut off his allowance as a prince. He said he planned to vis it Sweden at least once a year for business purposes. Mrs. Wijkmark, who divorced her first husband in Sweden some years ago, said the prince’s al lowance amounted to—approxi mately $15,000 a year. Her former husband still resides in Sweden. The prince flew to the United States about two weeks ago. His tall blue-eyed brunette fiancee brought 14 pieces of luggage with her some of it carrying part of the prince’s wardrobe. The apartment was leased until next July and today the prince was interested in “buying a few groc eries.” Mrs. Thomas, Professor Of P i a n o At Catawba, To Appear Iu Concert SALISBURY, Feb. 1‘6. — Mrs. Winifred MacBride Thomas, pro fessor of piano at Catawba college, will be guest soloist with the Na tional Symphony orchestra which will be heard in concert at Boyden High school auditorium February 21 in the final program of the pop ular college community concert series, it was announced today. Mrs. Thomas, who has studied music extensively in Europe, will play the Tchaikowski Piano Con certo in B Flat Minors, the same number she once played with the Queens Hall Symphony orchestra in London under the direction of the late Sir Henry Wood. It is most unusual for a sym phony orchestra to feature a soloist but with such a rich musical back ground and with so many years of experience both here and in Eu rope, Mrs. Thomas’ invitation to play with the National Symphony was not at all surprising. Music lovers of this vicinity are fortunate to have an opportunity to hear Mrs. Thomas play Tchaikowski’s Piano Concerto in B Flat Minor since it is seldom played by a woman so loist. Mrs. Thomas was born in Scot land and was first heard in public concerts at the age of four. When she was ten years of age she was playing with an orchestra in Glas gow which at that time was under direction of Verbrugshen the late conductor of the Minneapolis sym phony.

Her husband, Prof. Christopher J. Thomas, himself a distinguished musician is head of the music de partment at Catawba college where Mrs. Thomas has been professor of piano for the past three years.
