There has been much talk of late to re- vive the rumor that Congressman Charles G. Bennett is either engaged to Miss Kitty Reed, daughter of Speaker Thomas B. Reed, or that an engagement is imminent. The rumor was first sent over the wires by the Washington correspondents last win- | ter, when the attentions of the Brooklyn Congressman toward the Speaker's daugh- ter began to be marked. The Reed family and Mr. Bennett stayed at the Shoreham The young man was the escort of Mis: Reed at theater parties and other social fairs. The fact that the young woman’s father was a possitle candidate for the presidency added to the interest that would have otherwise been taken in these atten- tions. The fact that Mr. Pennett, a com- parative youngster in the House, was call- ed on to preside over its deliberations in the Speaker's chair toward the close of the session, attracted no little remark. It was an honor seldom conferred on a young member, Miss Reed and her father went to M mouth, N. J., on Friday to spend several days at tke seaside home of Col. A. G. Paine. Yesterday morning Congressman Bennett left Brocklyn, to be gone until Tuesday. He did not tell where he was go- ing, except that he was not going far from New York. When a reporter went to Con- gressman Bennett's home, No. 1090 Gates avente, yesterday, he was informed by the Congressman’s mother that Mr. Bennett had gone out of the city. When asked about the rumored engagement, Mrs. Ben- nett smiled in a manner that was more suggestive than her words. “I haven't heard anything about it,” she said. has said nothing about it to me. Of cou: I have heard some talk about it, know nothing about any engagement Mr. Bernett’s intimate friends say that they have heard nothing definite from him about it, and that when the subject is broached to him he simply smiles.
