clerks say the latter took good care
that she should do it every few mo-

! cry of 'Will Your Grace step this way
a moment, please, as L am sure this is
just what you want?" and that sort of
thing from morning to night. All this,
of course, attracted attention to the
retiring little Ohio girl, who does not
seem to be bad sort at all if allowed
to be lady, as her instincts incline.
But with this shouting and fussy press
agent attending her the Duchess had
anything but pleasant time OF 1T In
securing her winter costumes. Her
agent was a source of almost endless
amusement to the shop people. Now
the clerks, when they are not too busy,
are having all manner Of fun among
themselves initiating her airs and the
methods adopted to attract attention
to her charge. One Of the few jolly in
