The Yankee At King Edward's Court

(Continued from Page 1.)

Last year Mr. and Mrs. Simp- sun were.frequent week-end guests at Fort Belvedere, 27 miles from London, where the Prince enter- tained his most intimate friends. Mrs. Simpson liked jazz and the Mrs. tungo. So did the Prince. Simpson, more surprisingly, liked gardening. The Prince consulted her about his perennial borders. Mrs. Simpson iked the Prince, the Prince liked Mrs Simpson. and Mr. Simpson, it seems, liked guing along for the ride.

In Biarritz, His Royal Highness walted two hours in a beauty shop for Mrs. Simpson's hair to dry. At Cannes, he asked her to act, as hostess for a cocktail party he was giving for a number of diplomats and noblemen.

Since King Edward's accesalon to the throne, tongues, have been wagging without remission.. Mr. and Mrs. Simpson were present on the balcony of Friary Court, St. James's, to hear. the proclamation of succession to the throne-about as near as they would get, without being legally adopted into the royal family. Their home in Lon- don is often frequented by the King. Their presence in the Royal Box at the opera has become a commonplace. Mrs. Simpson has at her disposal the second car and chauffeur belonging to the Palace. She and her husband were, includ- ed in the small formal dinner Els Majesty gave for Colonel and Mrs. Landbergh with such dignitaries a Prime Minister and Mrs. Stan- Baldwin, besides Lord and
