U.S. GIRL ANNOYS EX-PRINCE

(By A Correspondent)

Cairo, Feb. 10. X - PRINCE SAID HALIM, cousin of the King of Egypt, is most indignant.

I told him to-day that Miss Kay Roga MacCulloch,

He agreed that there never had been-a-romance, but disagreed violently with her assertion that she had had to rebuff him because he was "so persistent."

He admitted he was preparing to go to the United States in February or March but said it was for purely private reasons...

"I have given my word honour to my aged father," said ex-prince. "not to marry a foreigner, or any one below my rank. I will keep thai pro- hilse," He denied ever having asked Miss MacCulloch to marry him.

When the King

was 'Progged'

"Most Expensive Cigarette"

The story is told in the last issue of Granta of how the King, when an undergraduate at Cam- bridge, was "progged.""

"Like any other undergraduate at Cambridge," the story runs, "he attended lectures, and, it cannot be disrespectful to add, that also like any other undergraduate he wore a gown that had long ago seen better days, "The story will long be remember- ed of how the King was 'progged" by the present Publie Orator, Mr. T. R. Glover, of St. John's College, and perhaps it is not too frivolous to add that, remarkable and distinguished as hins been Mr. Glover's career, the moot remarkable incident in his life will always be that when he 'progged' the King of England.
