Queen Grief Stricken by Kitchener's
Death.

London CORES pOndenCe sOf The
Associated Press perhaps none out
side his immediate family was more
grief-strickeu at the news of Lord
kitcheners tragic death than Queen
Alexandra. The effectiveness of the
soldier to the queen-mOther had long
been notable, and there was a very
these two. undoubtedly two of the
Ioneliest figures prominent in contem-
porary London.
Indeed there was something pathetic
in the lonely bacheIOrhOOd of the war
secretary, who occasionally to his in
Inmates dropped remarks bearing on
his lack of home and near relations.
Not a week passed during the war in
which he has not paid a visit to MARI
borough house, where he would re-
main for long visits with Queen Alex
andTa, and come away with a long
list of those cOmbatants of whom her
friends had made special inquiries.
However pressing the demands of the
campaigns on the various fronts, he
would always return within a few
days with the desired information.
Lord Kitchener had promised 10 be
the queen-mother's guest during the
coming summer at Sandringham. He
constantly had ladies to lunch at his
seat in Kent. BrOOme hall, near Can
terbury. on Sundays, and would show
them how he was developing his gar
dens and dilate to them on the beaut-
les Of his china. Younger women were
conspicuous by their absence at these
times. the guests being chiefly peer
esses and experts on gardening as
well as the wives of men who had
served under him in various cam
paigns
At York house, St. James palace, he
gave a number Of dinner parties to
men only, the military element being
not always conspicuous at these He
liked doctors. though cared nothing
for actors or musicians. Several Of
the higher clergy in London enjoyed
his friendship and hospitality.
Lord Kitchener was personally
well known TO the owners of many OF
the more expensive curiosity shops in
London. He would bargain over pur-
chases. but did not possess the com
mercial sense and in the end would
always pay a good price, usually on his
own initiative The dealer generally
received a check the day after delivery,
the check being quite often post-dated
a month or two

If the girl takes a chance she is
given a book with so pages. On each
page is a girls name. She sells the
book for 10 cents page to as many
men as she can get without letting
her boss catch her.
On the back of the book, pasted
downward, is written one of the
names contained in the book. The
man who buys the page containing
this name for dime is given a gold
watch and chain"
Those who have been stung on the
plan say the watch and chain often
are worth less than dollar. The
girl gets a small percentage of the
So which she turns in to the man
who sells the gambling device.
But the peril lies here. The girl
who works in a State street store
takes many chances of being offered
improper proposals by male creatures
who stop and chat. The girl can't
refuse to talk to these men because
if she makes a mistake and offends
a customer she may find - self out

along State street need their jobs

her.

The gambling game gave the men an
opening.
There were also some women who
used their department store jobs as a
covering to hide their nightly occUpa-
ton of sin. They are most plentiful
in the stores which pay cheap wages,
This sort of women welcomed the
chance books. They could sell a
chance to man, get very friendly
with him and, then let him ''date her
up" for some night. Their business
prospered with the chance books.
The police got their first tip when
a counter girl tried to sell chance to
a detective.
When the trouble was reported to
Captain Morgan Collins of the list
precinct he announced that his po-
.licewomen would get orders to watch
for the men in the stores.

just such things as these" he declar-
ed. The lady policemen were put

Most of the girls who are en-

deserve all the protection they can
