Twenty-Five Trunks and as s-
Many Boxes. .'' >. :.


Many Boxes. =,
Miss Margaret Letter, third daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Levi H. Letter, will be one of
the best gowned women at the durbar,
Delhi, India, and her entire wardrobe is
the product of her native city, Chicago.
Miss Daisy, as she is more Familiarity
known to the public, has always said that
she obtained more satisfactory results by
having her gowns designed in Chicago
than in New York, Paris and London.
When Mrs. Letter decided to accept the
invitation Of her son-in law, Lord Curzon.
viceroy of India, and attended the great
historic pageant known as the durbar, or
browning of the emperor Of India, the mo-
mentous question rose Of preparing suit,
able toilets for the grand event. MISS
Daisy .unhesitatingly said that she would
unhesitatingly obtain all she needed in
Chicago It has been stated that Mrs.
Letter and Miss Letter carried with them
abroad the most complete wardrobe ever
taken from this country Twenty-Five
trunks were required for the gowns. and
other less delicate articles were sent in
shipping boxes. In order tos avoid any
misunderstanding, either on arriving ii,
England, where they first landed. or ON
their return to this country, Mr.. Letter
had complete inventory made Of the
gowns, jewels and lingerie and placed a
copy in the hands of the United States
customs officers in New York and sent an
other copy to the officials of England.
|: This is the first time. such course has
been adopted. and Mr.. Letter believes thai
he has spared his wife and daughter much
trouble and annoyance. Miss Letter has
visited Indian before, but this is, Mrs.
Letters first venture into that mystical
land. They will remain in Delhi until
February and will then go to simla.
