' ' V e-jTZ'f' His Majesty relaxes im: i L ' king Kdward VIII . J Mrs. Krnest Simpson (j9 By ARTHUR MANWELL International Illustrated News Writer LONDON The established place held by Mrs. Ernest A. Simpson among' the circle of Americans and English in favor with King Edward VIII has focussed the international spotlight on the former belle of Baltimore. Her present high place in British society, in which she enjoys the friendship of the king and many of the nobility, was preceded by a brilliant social career in her native Maryland. Both sides of her family claim a distinguished ancestry. Her father, T. Wallis Warfield, was descendant of a family whose lineage goes back '"to the days of William the Conqueror. Her mother was one of the famous Virginia Montagues whose back ground is quite as distinguished as the . Warlieliis. Her 'Mother Took Hoarders When the present Mrs. - Simpson was only a child oi three, her father died, forcing fui- mother to support herself and child by taking boarders during the yea i s f roni 1900 to 1908, Even as a. child,. Bessie"Varn-.-iu was noted for her charm and gaiety. Despite the liiii.ied c.r cumstances of the faiii iy, wiu-n Bessie was a sub-deb she '.was in vited everywhere and attended aii the approved social affairs. She "came out" in .-191 and after a brilliant two years as a "Baltimore belle" she was married to the handsome Lieut. E. Winfield Spencer of the United States navy at a gala wedding in Baltimore's Christ's church on Nov. 8, 1916. Their first home was at Pensa cola, Fla., where Lieutenant Win field was attached to the naval flying school. In 1917 the dashing lieutenant and his charming bride went to California where Spencer was commissioned to establish a naval flying school. Eight years later they were divorced, Mrs. Spencer establishing '.residence at Warren ton, Va., and obtaining the decree there on tec'.mieal grounds. They had ap parently drifted apart gradually and finally "agreed to disagree". Became Mrs. Simpson in 1928 Three years after she had ob tained her divorce. Mrs. Spencer met her present husband on a visit to London and became Mrs. Ernest A. Simpson on July 21, 102;,. Born in Canada, Simpson gradu ated from Harvard university in 191P, and has made his home for many years in London where he has a highly successful shipping business. His military acrrit-B.iti the . British army and his enthusiasm for sports have given him a figure ot r.- litary bearing and soldierly , liian.-.er. j Tc day Mrs. Simpson is admit tedly the closest friend tc King Edwird among those who com prise the "inner circle" With whom he is constantly seen. And though she is now forty, the former beita of Baltimore is considered one of the most beautiful women in Americo-European society. It's Wise To Fill Your Goal Bin Now COAL vraoD LEE COAL CO.
