LOOKING AFTER KIPLING
Mrs. Rudyard Kipling, the Americanborn wife of the man who is reputed to have refused an earldom, is small in stature, with a strong sense of humour. ' She has a special gift for looking after a husband whose genius is so great that it outpaces the frailty of his health. To'hold this energy in check, Mrs. Kipling is called upon to exercise a care amounting to little less than whole-hearted devotion dating back to somewhere about 1908, when Kipling's life was despaired of on account of a severo attack of pneumonia. Her greatest joy in life is—to prevent him from overworking! In spite of her American character, she is a- perfect English country .bostess. And when she does entertain "this is not .any too often —her modern wit serves to balance , excellently the more serious outlook of her worldfamous husband.
