STA, in company with the Duchess of
Marlborough, didn't get into the pa
pers. The Duchess. who is rich, and
lovely, is one of the most energetic
young women in the kingdom. and is
especially interested in the peasants
who make the Scotch tweeds. For the
SAKE of promoting their industry, she
packed several of her trunks with sam
pies of the highland tweeds, and on
arriving at st. Petersburg spread out
her goods like a commercial traveller
and issued invitations to the leading
tailors of St. Petersburg and Moscow
TO come. see and buy. She believes
that, as a result OF her efforts, new
market will be opened for the product
of the highland cotters.
