SURRENDER FOR LORD KITCHENER

It IAN be predicted with condolences
that as soon as the facts which are
about to be set forth are known in.
London society, there will be an Inn
mediate rush Of manageable grande
danes to Egypt. And the exodus will
include, especially, those impression
able American widows-one hesitates
to embarrass them by mentioning
their names-who in the past have
made a dead set for that hitherto
most determined Of bachelors-Lord
Kitchener.
For Lord Kitchener at last has de-
termtned to marry. Before many
moons have run their course a proud
and happy Lady Kitchener will rule
b household of the greatest and most
picturesque soldier OF the present day.
But before that time what a f~uttering
OF m~iddle-aged hearts there will, be In
Mayfair!
The writer has the news OF Kitch-
ener's change Of heart from one, Of
his close personal friends who recently
returned from Egypt. Said this friend:
Lord Kitchener is no longer the con-
frmed bachelor who was the despair
of countless women in English .ocs.
