THE ROMANCE OF YOUNG KINNOUL. WILL THE GIRL CATCH UP? By Electric 1 elegra.pn.~Copyrigb.t.-) UVusrt.-N.fc Oaole dissociation.' (Received May 22, 9.35 a.m.) (United Service.) London, May 20. The young Earl of Ivinnoul, agod .20 years, has sailed for South Africa, allegedly as the outcome of a love entanglement. According to the story he told the Press interviewers, he met Mrs Elsie Dulcio Trewartha (otherwise known as Miss Surle), a widow, aged 25 years, a few weeks ago, and as the result of the acquaintance-they went to a registry office. But the registrar informed him that he could not marry without the consent of one of his guardians, as he was a minor. He declared that he meant it for a joke, but when the Registrar wanted to see his birth certificate, he thought the joke had gone far enough. Young Kiiinoul added that he liked the lady, but he had no intention of marrying her. He was paying for the joke because his mother was packing him oil' to South Africa.

Miss Surle told the interviewers that she certainly did not regard it as a joke, and was amazed to think that the Earl did. They had a real round of pleasure together, and had found each other most congenial company. They kept their engagement secret. She gave notice of her marriage at the registry office. _ She did not know the earl was a minor. She described him as George Hay, 23, an insurance agent, and expressed the determination of sailing for South Africa by the same boat as. the Earl. The Earl's mother, in the meantime, took steps to prevent this. She told the interviewers' that if Miss Surle joined the steamer the Earl would walk oil. She described the a Hair as a silly, boyish escapade. The Earl had told her that ho never intended to marry Miss Surle. The Earl's party joined the steamer with stack's of luggage, but keeping a sharp lookout, prepared to leave the vessel if the lady appeared. Miss Surle failed to appear before the steamer sailed for South Africa. It is stated that Miss Surle left by the night boat for Paris, with the allegedly declared intention of overtaking the Earl at Madeira.
