*Ernest Aldrich Simpson was born of a British father and a U. S. mother in 1897 in Manhattan. From Harvard ('19) he went to Britain's swank Coldstream Guards and into his father's London firm of ship charterers, Simpson, Spence & Young. He married in 1923 and in 1925 was divorced from a Manhattan Social Registrite now in reduced circumstances, by whom he has a 12-year-old daughter Audrey. In 1926 he married the present Mrs. Simpson. She was Wallis ("Wally") Warfield of Baltimore and in 1916 gave her age as 22 when she married Earl Winfield Spencer Jr., now commander of the U. S. Aircraft Tender Wright, from whom she was divorced in 1925. Thus the King and Mrs. Simpson are the same age, 42, and Mr. Simpson at 39 is ripe to receive at His Majesty's hands knighthood, a baronetcy, a peerage or one of the historic Court offices.
