MADE A PERSONAL APPEAL
supplanted Laundress Successful In
Effort to Retain Patronage Of
Duke Of the AbruzzI..

AT Salsomaggiore, says a writer In
McClure's, there was a laundress who
had always enjoyed the patronage of
the Duke Of the Abruzzi whenever he
came there to take the cure on his re-
turn from one Of his expeditions. The
duke OF course knew nothing about
this matter, which was attended to
by his chauffeur-valet. Now, for some
reason, OF which ! am ignorant, the
servant had taken a notion to change
laundresses; hence great humiliation
on the part Of the good little woman,
who naturally priced her celebrated
patron. What was she to do? She
wanted to get an explanation Of the
matter. at any rate; 80 one day she
placed herself on the road where the
duke was to pass. When he came up
she said to him: your highness 10 no
