side the city. The former Emily
Merryman and q distant cousin Of
Mrs. Simpson, Mrs. Sadler attended
classes with her In the fashionable
Arundel School for Girls.
Was Lovely Girl
"She was lovely girl" Mrs. Sad
Ter said mot beautiful exactly, but
so magnetic and 80 charming that
she seemed beautiful to those who
associated with her.
"Of course, she always did have O
perfectly grand figure and she was
so well-groomed that smart per-
haps is the best word TO use In
describing her appearance.
II am proud TO have had Wallis
Warfleld for a friend" she said.
Other Baltimoreans agreed with
Mrs. Sadler. Some refused TO talk
for publication. The latter includ-
ed Henry M. Warheld, her uncle,
and Mrs. Zachary Robert Lewis, her
cousin, whose position In society Is
unassailable.
Her Old Beau Talks
Carter q. Osburn, an old beau
who used to whirl Wallis at the
cotillions and Germans, which still
are q part Of Baltimores social life,
could not restrain himself from
characterizing Mrs. Simpson as
"Pefect."
Osburn sells automobiles now,
from q salesroom In suburban Tow
son. His good times with Wallis
Warfleld, when both were young
and the business Of earning q liv-
ing did not seem so important, are
among his happiest memories.
"She was a good pal" he said.
she didn't have any social Ginbi-
tons. She didn't have TO. She al
ready was on top.
Good Enough for King
do I think she Is good enough
TO be the wife Of Edward VIII? Say,
I'm wondering II the king is good
enough for her."
DR.. Frederic Taylor white haired
friend Of the Waraeld family, re-
tired society editor, and intimate
Of Baltimore's social leaders, also
has pleasant memories of the raven :
haired girl who now Is Englands
royal favorite.
"She was a thoroughly nice per-
son." said DR.. Taylor. "She was q
girl OF whom any parents could be
proud, O woman who reflected the
best In family and In breeding"
ARCHBISHOP TO TALK
London, Nov. 9-(UP)-The arch
bishop Of Canterbury, head OF the
English church, may make a pub
lie reference to the friendship OF
king Edward and Mrs. Wallis Simp.
son II there Is any indication that
they want 10 convert their friend
ship into marriage, II was re-
ported today.
The report was based on recur-
rent rumors that the king and Mrs
Simpson might marry.
Technically, Mrs. Simpson Is not
supposed 10 think Of marriage until
the decree risi Of divorce which she
obtained recently from Ernest
Simpson becomes Anal next April
and she rs able to apply for q de.
cree absolute. which would free her
to marry for the third time.
SticklerS for form allege that the
kings proctor, whose duty II is 10
investigate any suspicion Of collu-
sion In O divorce, would have 10
take cognizance Of any intention Of
Mrs Simpson to marry.
Never Dreams Of Marriage
The argument is that the strict
British law assumes that Mrs.
Simpson divorced her husband be-
cause he was unfaithfui, and that
she never even dreams OF the pos
sibility Of marrying again.
II II were confirmed that she In.
tended TO marry again, II was con.
tended, the frowning law might hold
that she obtained q divorce IN order
TO do so---and, through the kings
proctor, Sir Thomas Barnes, inter.
vene TO annul her interim decree.
As for the venerable archbishop,
the story Is that he Is opposed To
the kings friendship with Mrs.
Simpson, and might make some
public statement II he heard that
they intended TO marry.
There are all sorts OF rumors.
Friends OF the king and Mrs. Simp-
son agree that they have no inten-
ton OF marrying. In any event, II
was said, the king would have more
conSidera ton for her than 10 per.
NIT even an intimation OF inten-
ton 10 marry before Mrs. Simpson
obtained her Anal decree.
