COURT GOSSIP
ANOTHER ENGAGEMENT RUMOR For some time now H.R.H. the Prince of Wales has enjoyed a comparative immunity from those annoying rumours of his engagement to some fascinating foreign Princess or illustrious beauty of fashion and rank. On his next birthday the Prince will be 33, more than a decade older than most of his predecessors at the date of their marriage, and public opinion seems to be reconciling itself to the fact, which is not without its peculiar romance and fascination, that King George's heir may, like that splendid Prince Hal, who won his kingly spurs at glorious Agincourt, be "a King and a bachelor." Yet one must at least mention, without giving too much emphasis to its verity, the recurrence of Court gossip just now on this intriguing but recently-tabooed topic. There is talk of the Prince's becoming engaged to a charming lady of old English nobility who is also a cousin. Dlf> ject, but—nou s verrons.
