It is a dull day in simla's social circles
when Miss Daisy Leiter doss not wear, say,
or do something { to justify despatch.
REGARDLESS of the fact that the chronicles
from Calcutta have been predicting
speedy announcement of her engagement
to the young Earl of Suffolk, who is at
tached to the Vicsroy's court, they are
now assuring the world. at large that the
young lady is engaged to Major Gotten
Campbell of the Central India Horse
Guard. Her reported betrothal to the Earl
was a stcry that possessed all the romance
and glitter of g fairy tale. The young
mans pedigree is as old as English his
tory. Besides a title as honorable and
ancient as any in the British realm to-
day he has castles and vast estates, good
locks, bonny disposition, and head OF
| the type that is known as level" All
! America took family interest in their
very pretty international romance, and 1t
| seems a pity that every one OF the line
/ things said about it should have to go TO
waste 1t will probably be the same with
1 the present suitor. just as soon as Miss
/ Letters American friends have studied him
I'D enough TO talk over his affairs Dame
Runner will weary of the monotony OF her
/ choice and make another selection. The
moral of which is: Beware of --latest ad-
! vices" regarding Miss Letter, from the
Viceroy's court While Major Campbell
occupies his present desirable position,
however, it is interesting to know that he
| is a member OF the staff corps and COM
4 mands one of the best native cavalry
| regiments in the East. OF course there is
| always possibility that report may be
true, and for that reason it is pleasant to
! know that Major Campbell has done gal
liant work ON the frontier and that he is
considered brave officer and a chivalrous
man.
Still, an earl is an earl, and if Miss
Letter really intends TO marry into the
army she couldn't have done better than
by staying right at home.
