Will He Get Her?

The young khedive of Egypt is having a very uncomfortable time in Constantinople and is doubtless sorry that he ever went there. The sultan appears to take malicious delight in making the young man feel his inferiority and has carried this so far as to refnse to allow nis danghter to be given in marriage to the common Egyptian pasha who owes his position to the support of infidel Englishmen. The khedive's mother, however, continúes assiduously to intrigue in the harems on her son's behalf, and as she is admittedly a very clever woman it is believed that her persistenoy will ultimately be rewarded by success. The sultan at present has only two recognized daughters of marriageable age. One is 13 years old, and the other is 10. It was suggested early in the negotiations that the sultan 's daughter is forbidden by unwritten law to marry outside the limits of the Ottoman em pire, but his majesty himself promptly disposed of that argument by declaring that Egypt is an integral part of his empire, and it is certainly recognized as such by all the European powers. If the sultan should relent, the marriage will take place in Constantinople after the khedive, by his suzerain's gracious permixsion, has taken a short holiday trip through Europe. Unlike the khedive, young King Alexander was treated by the sultan with the greatest distinction and bas retumed to Servia more persuaded than ever that he is the greatest man in Europe.
