"MY LADY" MUST HAVE GOWNS
Desperate Means Adopted by Titled
Woman without n satisfac-
tory Wardrobe

LONDON, Nov. 7.-(Special.)GIt is fast
becoming a case of beg, borrow or steal
for the woman who asplres TO be smart
and in the swim. 1t is more imperative today
for a woman to be exquisitely robed during
the county house visiting season than dur
ing the London season. In brushes and
crowd in town frocks pass muster which
won't stand for limited space in a coun-
try house and the sharp eyes Of one's
dearest enemies. At this season womenl
with dress allowances of 30,OOO per annum
are often driven to desperation to keep
pace with the sartorial art of their rivals.
A story is just now being told of a lady
who was one of the guests recently invited
TO meet the prince of Wales at a famous
country house in Scotland. She did not
consider that her wardrobe was up to the
essential standard demanded by the prince
who fancies himself a connoisseur In
gowns, so she immeditely 'proned to the
wager West End ateliers. She explained
that she was in a violent hurry and must
have the garments on approval. They ewere
accordingly forwarded without demur.
They included dinner frocks, tea gowns,
tabernacle suits, etc. The same night they
were packed In my lady's' boxes and dis
patched to Scotland. She wore each in
turn for a week and at the end of the visit
it was again carefully packed in il. tissue
paper and returned from her ladyship's
house by her maid to the firm which sup
piled 1t.
M lays" rival who was furiously en-
vious of the unique display Of creations
her ladyship had exhibited, realized that
there was only one house in Dover street
which could turn out a rose leaf charmeuse
tea gown Of the order her ladyship had
worn for the prince. She Immediately re-
paired to the particular house, therefore,
at which she was well known, and said
she wanted such a robe.

and forthwith the garment was produced.
Why" she explained. that is the iden,
teal garment Lady A. wore at the duke
Of G-'s house party a few days ago.
Beautiful as il is l should not think OF
wearing a model which was repeated."
Shop assistants in the smart houses are
as perfectly trained never to show sur
prise Rs the best servants. The YOUNG
shop woman merely remarked that she was
sure Mrs. x, was mistaken"
People are now wondering what attitude
the house in question will take up against
her lady ship. TIT tea gown was a $500 one
and it is a recognized fact in the trade
and to the hest dressed women that a
great house like Doucet never turns out
two models alike
