Among xhe others invited to the

TO everybody's surprise, she refused
the command" Gossip saws quite
openly that the reason for her refusal
Is the snub administered to her hus

the latter was connected with a card
scandal some years ago and Since then
Lady Gordon Cumming has eschewed

that the king was guilty Of a most UNI

HORRIBLE DISCOVERY.
A very good story concerning Mrs.
Waldorf Aston Jr., is going the rounds.
Ut appears that the young American
matron ordered beautiful dress of the
very latest style from a famous Paris
house and wore It to the Ascot races.
Imagine her surprise upon arriving at
the historic course to find Mrs. Lang

arrayed In costume the exact dupli-
cate other own, even to the hat Mrs.
Astor retreated in confusion and In
dlgnation to her motor car and was
immediately driven away to Clieveden
"a change was effected and later In the
day she appeared again on the course.
To appear during one afternoon arrayed
IN two costumes Is an innovation and
attracted wide comment and led to the
story leaking out.
The frocks which created all the trou-
bic were In pale gray with double skirts
over which We're worn Drectoire coats,
finished with the ilinumerable buttons
typical of the period. Big gray hats
with enormous plumes OF tho Same col
or and shade completed the costumes.
One version OF the story declares that
Mrs. Langtry's was the original from
which the Americans had been mos
delled while another credits the latter
woman with the honor of being first
in the field II is safe to say that the
modiste who supplied them win get no
further orders from either leader of
fashion
LONG SUIT IN BARGAINS.
Those who have been to Hampden
House this season unite in declaring
that Mrs. Potter Palmers Mayfair
mansion is more beautiful than ever.
Quite recently she bought some mag
niiicent bron2es at Christie's at bar
gain prices and she has set them up
about the house. The Chicago society
woman Is one of the best bargainers In
London and dealers have learned to be
very careful In trading with her. She
never purchases an article before first
getting expert opinion as TO the real
value. Above ali she refuses TO pay
Morgan prices" Whenever Il comes
10 her ears that j, Pierpont Morgan is
Interested In an article she drops II like
hot coal.
This feeling against being Morgan
lied" by the art dealers is not confined
10 Mrs. Potter Palmer but Is now very
general throughout London. The ma
jorlty of those who attend Christie's
auctions are well acquainted with the
dealers who have the purchasing ear
OF the American millionaire and do not
waste their time bidding against them
above reasonable price
