BALTIMORE, Jan. 30.—Mrs. Wal- ly Simpson may be slipping from ‘t.he front pages but Baltimore girls seem to be right in the midse of “cashing in” in a big way on the‘ reputation for charm she gave her, home city. Mary Spotsmwood Warren, editor of the Blue Book of Baltimore So- ciety, came back from New York to say that “the stock of Baltimore girls has gone up about 100 per cent” because of the woman for whom a king gave up his throne. “Even in that sophisticated city,” said Miss Warren, “everybody speaks of Baltimore girls, charm and Mrs. Simpson in one breath and in a big way. At first I thought they were joking. But I heard it too many| times, from too many people.” Her friends have notice the same thing—have been “almost "over- whelmed by it,” she said. | “They treat all of us,” she ex- plained, “as though we were Mrs' Simpson herself, One girl said she| had received some flowers from a, friend with a card which read, 'I: can't leave a throne for you, but 1] can at least send you flowers.'” | SAMUEL IRWIN DIES IN EAST Overcoat Sale Single and double breasted .
