Engaged. Vera, Countess of Cathcart, fortyish, divorced wife of the late George Cathcart, 5th Earl of Cathcart, previously Vera Fraser of Cape Town, later the widow of Capt. de Grey Warter of the 4th Dragoon Guards; and Sir Rowland Frederic William Hodge, seventyish; famed shipbuilder; in London, a week after the marriage of Lady Cathcart's son Henry de Grey Warter to Mabel Bowers Rean of British vaudeville.

On a lecture tour in the States he had had a note from her, had called to find her a widow in Yonkers. Rosie was old, fat, bobbed-haired, but just the same under- neath. On the living room wall was a large photograph of the man with whom Rosie had run away. Said Ashenden, "I wonder what it was you saw in him." The picture "showed him in a long...
