DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Young Girl And Mother Hit By Car. FIANCE UNTOUCHED. LONDON, October 28. A shocking double tragedy is reported from Maidenhead. Miss Ivy Warner, who lives near that town, celebrated her 21st birthday to-day. Her parents arranged to give her a dance in the Warner Memorial Hall at Maidenhead on Saturday evening in honour of the occasion. As a surprise the parents had intended to announce the betrothal of Ivy's sister, Betty, to Mr. Russell King, another resident of Maidenhead. Betty, her fiance and his mother were walking arm in arm to the hall when a motor car mounted the pavement, knocked down Betty and Mrs. Russell and so injured them that both died shortly afterwards in hospital. Mr. King was not hurt. The girl's father, Mr. Warner, is a well-known brick manufacturer. He presented the hall to the townspeople. OFFICE ACCEPTED. BRIAND IN FRENCH CABINET. PARIS, October 28. M. Briand has now accepted the Foreign Office portfolio. This, it is believed, assures M. Daladier's success in the formation of a new Ministry.
