KING AND QUEEN

LONDON, Aug. 24.-That the king
and queen are doing their utmost to
reconcile the Duke of Marlborough
and his wife, formerly Consuela Van
derbilt, was admitted by high court
authority today
Aside from friendship, their majes-
ties dislike having separated couples
about the court Even the Marlbor-
oughs would have been dropped If
they were divorced but since they
are merely living quietly apart and
are both popular they remain among
the eligibles.
Whenever the king sees the name
either of the duke or duchess in a
list of guests submitted to him be
fore attending function, he invar-
iably insists that the unnvited one
be included. AS it is a social crime
to decline royal invitation their
graces have thus been forced to be
considerabl together recently. The
royal peacemakers hope in this way
to make them forget their differen-
ces.

George the Fifth Is the first British
king to undertake a systematic study

Immediately after the adjournment.
The adjournment resolution of the
house was a flat defy to the SEN

claims of four states, or have the
house adjourn without passing the

That the senate would succumb to
the all-night fight seemed certain
when it received the house adjourn

When the general deficiency bill
was again received by the senate,
Warren announcing continued dis
agreement, motion to concur in the

feet of adopting all of the bill but

When in Yorkshire, where he went

of talk about the hardships endured
by the men in the so-called abnormal

his hand at hewing coal in one OF
these spots afterwards paying his
footing in time honored manner by
buying drinks for the owner of the
pick and his mates.
