HE end of the romance of Rather
i ine Elkins and the duke of the
Abruzzi is to be like the final chapter
of an old -fashioned novel, in which the
heroine fees with her memories to
convent walls and the hero betakes
himself and his wounded heart to the
wilderness of the world to seek for
getfulness.
The authoritative announcement
that there would be no marriage be-
tween Miss Elkins and the Italian
prince and cousin of king was hard
ly cold when the cable brought from
Rome the report that the duke was
planning to be off to the unexplored
mountain Businesses of India.
Subsequent dispatches have con-
firmed that report, and ever since
Washington has been wondering what
the young woman would do, 1t being
assumed that her affections had been
as deeply wounded as her royal suit
or's by the breaking Of the engage
ment.
1t is now learned that Miss Elkins'
attitude toward society for the next
six months at least, and perhaps
longer, will be more serious than was
anticipated.
Arrangements have been made by
Miss Elkins to begin the serious work
of study In the homeopathic general
hospital in Washington.
The course which Miss Elkins will

this should be fed three or four weeks
before weaving, and for that length Of

of milk, warm Stops of wheat mid
