We'll, the pudding disappeared rap

WHAT OF MRS. KEPPEL NOW?
London Does Not Expect the Elk.
Kings Friend to Quit Society.

One of the subjects which London
society is discussing now with deep
interest as a collateral result of the
death of King Edward is the future
of Mrs. George Keppel, who for the
last dozen years or more has been the
most powerful woman in English So
ciety. Her close friendship with the
late king gave her an influence out of
all proportion to her rank and she
was more courted by social climbers
and seekers after the royal favor than
the members of the kings own family.
Some idea of her close relationship
to the late king may be gathered from
the fact that she was the only per-
son, outside his mediate family circle.

was dying. Mrs. Keppel was brought

when he realized that he had no

Keepl will now drop out of society
and that she will be left severely
alone by those who were willing to
profit by her friendship when the king

declare is not the fact, for whatever

George.
More than that. Mrs. Keppel has no
enemies. A parsonage who was a
close friend both of the late King Ed
ward and Mrs. Keppel tells me that
she has never been known to use her
great power in a spiteful way.
She has never injured anyone. -

done innumerable good turns for all

of the great pithaya cactus is ripe

"Of course, she will not go out as
much as she did. You must remem-
Der that she is no longer young
woman and that she has two daugh-
tiers to bring up. She probably will

only her more intimate friends until
her daughters are old enough TO come

These two daughters will be objects
of interest in society when they do
come out. The older. Violet, was born
in 1894 and is therefore l6 now. She
is a very pretty girl and is said to
