KITCHENER AS ADANCER.
Hero of Khartoum and His Partner
Get Tied Up in a Knot.

From the east 7 find news that Lord
Kitchener. the Man of Blood and
Iron" is actually a dancer, or at least
is not averse at times to tackle terpsi-
chorean revels. The Indian Daily News,
in describing the recent durbar festivi-
ties at Delhi. says of the state ball:
Lord Kitchener took part in the state
set of lancers and danced as the partner
of Mrs. Bourdillon- His knowledge of
the figures was of the vaguest kind, and
in consequence when it came to the
point to change sides all he succeeded in
doing was to tie himself and his partner
in the most absurd knot, to the intense
amusement of the others in the set and
of the large crowd looking on. The hero
of Khartoum was beaming with delight,
and so he blundered through to the end.
When the music ceased he was in the
middle of the room looking for his part
ner and laughed heartily when she
came up and found him. London Cor.
