DEATH OF WIFE BLOW T0 LAUDER Comedian Prostrated With Grief a5 Mate Passes on Dunoon, Scotland, Aug. 1 (#—Sir Harry Lauder, who has lightened the hearts of hundreds of thousands throughout the -English-speaking world by his drolleries, was pros- trated with grief today over the sud- den loss of his devoted wife and constant companion for 37 vears. There were even reports that he has resolved never to appear on the stage again, but he did not make a public statement and was 5o crushed with grief that it is not likely he will talk for publication for some time. Less than a fortnight ago, Lady Lauder went to a nursing home in Glasgow for an internal operation. She bore the ordeal well and was progressing satisfactorily towards recovery, when early yesterday morning her heart failed and she died. Sir Harry was at the bedside Saturday afternoon, delighted to find her cheerful and getting strong- er. The same evening he received a message at his home, Lauderdale, in Unoon, saying she was still doing splendidly. Thus the news of the death came with the force of an overwhelming blow. The happy married life of couple had been arred by only one great grief—the loss of their only son, Captain John Lauder, killed in the battle of the Somme in| (. 1916.
