veroect l heard was that IL was nat In
Eood taste. However, I pronounce NO
opinion on that point. Far myself. I was
rather thankful that Lord Kitchener was
present: II gave me an opportunity ar
studying q very remarkable personality
IT very illuminating moment In his
life. and the study Of man and woman r.
my chief Joy In life. And the study az
Lord Kitchener was 30 absorbing and
fascinating TO me that could not keen
my eyes or his face throughout the
whole evening.
And what did SECT In the first place.
Lord Kitchener. whatever he may do on
the battle field. was not able to effectu-
ally. or entirely, conceal his feelings
while ne was issseninG to the debate In
the house OF commons. Though Il 10 q
face that IL set In lines too rigid to b
altogether mobile. IL yet changes . good
deal For instance. when Mr.. BaifouS
said anything that wae especially pleas
ant. Lord Kitchener frankly smiled; and
again. when Mr.. Raifour cleveriy ex-
planned some OF the things In the treat
ment Of the Mahdfs remains. the smile
grew broader: apd Lord Kitchener nod
ded his head In delighted assent.
But. somehow or other. the grim face
never looked to M erimmer than when
this suAle passed across II. The large,
strong mouth. heavily covered with the
typical military and hrush-like mustachs:
the strong. square jaw; the Tremendously
heavy hrows: the strange giitsersnx eyes:

and mustached mouth. Through II all. the

all al once struck me; II was the typical
