Winfield Spencer will be wed in the picturesque Chateau de Cande, in Monts, France. Highland Park shares in this world drama, for Wallis Warfield‘s first husband, E. Winfield Spencer, was formerly from Highland Park. Mrs. Warfield as many people know, was married to Lieut. Comâ€" mander E. Winfield Spencer of this city, about a year previous. to war, Aiter a very eveniiui eight years of travel and separation, the Spencer‘s finally came to the partâ€" ing of the ways and were divorced. Lieut. Spencer is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Earl W: Spencer, a socially prominent and highly reâ€" spected family in this community. He was the eldest of six children. He received his early education in the schools of this city and later was graduated from Annapolis. His parents were of English extraction, his mother having been born on the Isle of Mann. Being English, it was only natural that their eldest son should follow the native tradiâ€" tion of the eldest son entering the navy. For years, the Spencer family reâ€" sided in a ramibling old house, which stood at the corner of Wade street and Forest avenue. After the death of Mr. Spencer, several years ago, and after the family had left the homestead for homes of their own, teh old residence was torn down. The family however still own the lot where the house stood. _ : east; Dumaresq S ho an svintor, in the World. war and Lieut.

Spencer‘s brother, as he was the first Highland Parker to give his life for his country. Few in Highland Park knew Walâ€" lis intimately, for her visits here were most infrequent. Those who have met her speak only with the greatest of admiration for her beauty, grace and charming personâ€" ality. As one of our citizens has said "she was one in a million, for regardless of how large or small the gathering, her personality dominâ€" ated the social scene. Those who have lived in Highland Park for many years are familiar with the family and are fully acâ€" quainted with these facts, but for the many newcomers here, the above story may prove of interest.
