OMINOUS SIGN Accord I UK to u rumor from Austria, Edward, l)ukc of Windsor, and Mrs. Wullia-^lmpsou have had a little tilt regarding their marriage plans. The duke, it seems, wants a simple, even secret, wedding;' Mi's. Simpson a stylish one, in keeping with her future rank as royal duchess. Mrs. Simpson's desire may bo simply that of any woman for a colorful wodding, one she can treasure in memory in years to come, llut if her . wish is prompted by another motive, the Incident seems to hold the germ of a threat to her future hhppiness and that of the duke. The development may mean that the duke wants no more of the pomp that has been his since birth; whereas the future duchess may continue to demand it, as her newly acquired right. If this is the case, other such clashes in the future may cool the love that cost a kingdom.
