BRIT0N TELLS
OF KING'S GIFT
TO 'WALLY

According to the october issue
Of Town and Country Magazine,
King Edward of England is re-
ported to have lavished a million
dollars worth of jewels on his
American favorite and constant
dancing partner, the beautiful
Mrs. Ernest "Wally" Simpson OF
Baltimore.
The growing and open affection
Of the bachelor King for the vivid
American matron is discussed by
an EngliShman close to the royal
circle, writing under the pseudo
nym Of Euclid O'ShaughneSsy'
in the article entitled "The Royal
Triangle" He writes:
"He (King Edward) has had
plenty Of experience. He looks
so young, you forget that he is
~, an age when a man usually
knows his own heart pretty
well.
"The proofs Of his affection
for Mrs. Simpson are many and
varied. Gifts may not mean
much in such a case, but her
American friends say that she
has received a million dollars
worth of Jewels"
REAL SITUATION
The writer said:
"The trouble about this Situa-
ton is that it is a situation
one that is being urged upon us
with ineScapable persistenCy. To
be blunt, it is now perfectly evil
dent that Edward VIII does not
care whether the whole world
knows of his affection for Wal
lis Warfield Simpson. In fact,
he behaves exactly as if he
wishes it recognized that the
royal mantle of protection has
been placed about her shoulders.
He describes Mrs. Simpsons
growing Importance thus:
"Human nature being what it
is, she MRS. Simpson, is being
approached more and more by
those who seek some royal favor
an invitation to court, or the
royal presence at a charity af'
fair"
KING IS PROUD
"The King is proud Of her.
Anyone bold enough to object
to her being at the royal table
would be quickly diSgraced.
"Mary, the Queen DOwager,
alone, apparently, remains
aloOf."
And as to the triangle and the
quandary of Ernest Simpson
ITO say that Mrs. Simpson is
fond of the King is superfluOuS,
and to say that she likes Ernest,
her husband, can be doubted
only by those who ignore the
flexibility of the banai triangle.
"Then, there is the position
of her husband-a difficult pO-
sitiOn. The King likes him and
has always gone out Of his way
to be considerate But, of
course, poise and tact, although
very helpful qualities, cannot
smooth over indefinitely the
difficulties of the position
which is becoming steadily
more awkward. So awkward,
indeed, that when Mrs. Simp-
son decided to go on the yacht
ing trip, their separation be-
came a fait accompli.
HUSBAND TO MOVE
"Her husband could also
have Joined the royal party, but
didn't. Instead, the flat in
BryanStOn Court is being put
up for rent; he will move into
bachelor quarters, while she
will occupy her new house in
Cumberland Gate, which Lady
MendI probably will decorate in
the same style as Buckingham
Palace.
"But first of all she, too must
obtain a divorce, which proves
that in modern fairy tales some
one, somehow, must always be
spellbOund for six magic weeks
in Reno. If this happens things
will become relatively simple"
