There is unconcealed hope in Great Britaia that the Prince of Wales will turn from his London has an extraordinary tale of love, intrigue and Ambition now being enacted in its courts for its newest tidbit jit contains more fashionable names than any story that aged capital has had for years.

King George's serious illness and the approach of June ach other in this strange suit of Mrs. Dorothy Muriel Dennistoun against her former husband, Col. Ian Onslaw Dennistoun. Mrs. Dennistoun wants the money she graduate of Eton, had been in the army for ten years.

He met and married Dorothy Webster, a girl who had known the powerful Gen. Sir John Cowans since her childhood. Shortly after this wedding, the wife now intimates, she met the general, who promised to promote her husband if she would be friendly to him. Certain it is that Dennistoun became a captain in 1910, a major in 1915, on up to positions of power during the war. During the world war Cowans himself was quartermaster general of the British armies.

1 1 Occasional Meetings. 1 1 Wo vl XL It i According to Mrs. Dennistoun, her affair with the general-had been carrying on since 1913. From 1916 to 1920 the colonel and his wife met occasionally. He left her once in a Paris hotel, Sir Ellis, her lawyer, states, knowing that the general was coming over and from that time he saw her only occasionally, writing her tender notes meanwhile.

When he met her in Paris in 1919 he announced that he himself was going to reside in that capital and that accordingly she would have to live in England. The wife told him she and the general were going on a long tour and in 1920 she started her divorce proceedings in Paris. 23, when Prince Prince of Edward Albert Wales will reach his thirty-first year, comprise th major arguments of the optimists, who have repeatedly counselled marriage.

King Edward married a Dane, the present Queen Alexandra. Queen Victoria's husband was a German. There is a 17-year-old princess in Rumania, the beautiful He ana. But she is a cousin of Wales, and her faith is Roman Catholic. Therfl is a Belgian princess, also a Catholic, and the Italian royal family is of the same faith.

There are no royal princesses ia Norway. Sweden has no candidate, nor has Denmark. German royalty is no more. Austria-Hungary has crumpled. So it is reasonably certain that Wales will select a bride, if he ever does, from England, Scotland or Wales, or perhaps Ireland.

Of course, it is possible that Wales might be permanently attracted t4 some American beauty. P. R. R. CRAFTS LOSE $10,000,000 PAY FIGHT3 Washington, D.

It is the revelations Mrs. Dennistoun has made regarding the double life she lived in order to gratify her husband's military ambitions. Carnarvons Named. Raises New Question.
