The Family of the khedive-
I have spoken Of the khedive having
but one wife. This is the
Ikbal Hanem. whom he married
when he was about twenty. she IS
said to be both accomplished ana
beautiful, but. like ali Mohammedan
ladies, she leads. TO q arg extent, d
secluded life, and does not appea at
the great functions at the palace. she
is not seen at the khedives grand
bali, which Is given to his officials ana
foreigners about once a year. and 10
which something like $500 guests are
invited. She is present, however, at
the same, for she has a curta1ned
chamber which looks down upon the
ballroom. and the curtains are ar
ranged in such a way that she can
see the dancing and flirting while n
herself is unseen. Her majesty has
gorgeous apartments IN each Of The
palaces and she has a little cour- Of
her own, of which the nobl ladies Of
Egypt are a part.
The khedive has six children. two
boys and four girls. The eldest is the
Princes Emma Hanem. who Is now
twelve. The next is Princess Alta
tou-llah Hanem, just about one year
younger, and the third is Princess
Fathieh Hanem, who was born ten
years ago. The fourth child is the
heir apparent. He is Prince Moham-
med Abdul Moneim, and he wa born
February 20. 1899. The next was a
girl brought by the stork the follow
ing September, and two years
later came the last baby, a BOY.
Prince Abdul Keder. born in 1902 The
khedive's children are all OF light
compilations and they look and dress
like Europeans. The khedive has one
brother and two sisters, all Of whom
live in Cairo.
A We Educated Man.
The khedive is well educated, as
was his father before him eWfl
Pasha spoke as good English as ! dc,
and the conversation of our audience
OF today was carried on in English
Abbas Hilmi speaks French, Ger
man and English, as wei as Turkish
and Arabic. He went to school IN
Vienna at the Theresianum, a college
celebrated for the education of prln-
ceS. It contains, all told, about 500
students and it has barons by the doz-
en- and counts by the score. The stu
dents all live together on terms of
equality and they are under rigid dis
cipline. The tutors watch them day
and night, and there is not an hour
of their school life when they are
free from restraint. They are taught
to box and fence as well as the ordi-
nary studies. The young khedive
learned his German, French and Eng
Iish there, and he also studied geog-
raphy, history, mathematics and the
natural sciences.
Later on he was instructed in poll
tics and law and at the same time in
military tactics. He attended lectures
on army organization, military geog-
raphy, fertilization building and the
art of war, and on the whole he has
received what would be considered a
good all round training for any mon
arch. The result is that in such mat
tiers he is far in advance of most Of
the officials of the country, n is well
the dual government Of Great Britain
fitted to represent the Egyptians in
and Egypt, by which they are ruled.
