LITTLE GIRL FILTERED
THE DUCHESS BACON
Embarrassing Situation for
American Woman Trav-
cling in Switzerland.
LONDON. Apra IL. 1913.

LONDON. April IL 1913
Grand Duke Andreas. first cousin OF the
Emperor OF Russia. on his way home from
a visit TO Switzerland tells a good story
of how the grand duchess was deprived
of her favorite breakfast dish at hotel
because OF the liking OF little English
girl for broiled bacon
The grand ducal party had a suite OF
rooms in a well known hotel at ST. Moritz
An American lady. accompanied by
nine year-old English girl. arrived al the
hotel only TO find that there was no room
for them.
Gave Up His Room.
The grand duke noticed their predica-
ment. and very courteously offered q
spare room In hts suite. This room was
next 10 the bedroom occupied by the
grand duchess. In the corridor outside
sentinel was constantly on duty. SO
when every morning the breakfast bacon.
left on q table outside her door. dissp-
peared, a mystery was created which en-
ragged the duchess and drove the manager
OF the hotel almost mad with despair.
Finally the American lady heard OF the
trouble. and she recalled that every morn,
ing her charge had asked permission 10
play in the. corridor.
Left Fat for Duchess.
She watched the girl unobseryed from
the doorway the next morning. and was
amazed TO see her snatch the bacon and
conceal IL under her coat while the sen
try was making his military march up the
corridor.
When confronted the little girl explain
ed that she liked bacon. but said she had
always been careful TO leave some Fat
for the duchess. Her American guardian
was overcome with embarrassment bur
the grand ducal party took the matter as
huge joke. and the grand duke express
ed his forgiveness by taking the little girl
coasting.
