in both exports and imports as compared with
the corresponding period last year. One OF the most

Europeans. She told him she had often
heard her people say there was no use
of working as 'long as the Americans
would support them
But it was always to Miss Croll that
the Duchess opened her heart. She told
Of her plans to build a villa In France
and live there and took recipes for the
Pennsylvania Dutch dishes which she
intended to serve there.
She told Miss Croll that she would
not return to Italy except for her hus-
bands body, because she would be an
outcast from the royal palace and would
feel more happy elsewhere. She said
that her few days in Boyertown were
the happiest Of her life.
In going over the proposed decora-
tions OF her new home, she asked ad-
vice about what to do with the coffin
that her husband is at present in
tered In. The two women came to q
decision. Having changed to a Roman
Catholic in order to marry the Duke,
It was decided that the cross on the
present casket would be an ideal thing
to have inset In the head OF her bed.
She plans to do this.
Sees Casltet Made
She watched every step in the con,
struction OF the metal c8sket. Every
day she went to the factory and looked
on as the workmen piled their trade.
The new casket Is one Of the finest
specimens of the coffin makers art.
1t is of pure bronze with an
antique silver finish. 1t has q sliding
top and a hinged face panel. The
casket contains an inner lining, with
full length bevel plate glass top,
hernetically sealed, making 1t really a
double cas- ket. The interior furnish
ings are of specially woven satin.
An engraver was brought from Phila-
delphia to put the inscription on the
coffin. AT the head IL fac smile of

cost of the casket is $4,000.
All the time the Duchess was in
Boyertown she was dressed in deem
mourning, and while it was stylish Il
was not of the dashing cut that SO often
makes mourning joke.

that were satisfying the appetites OF
some odd dozen travelling statesmen
Ihat nearly convinced her, but when
she got the home made orange cake nj
the end she vetoed the inn and started
looking over the available rooms.
Sensing the exclusiveness of their
visitor, Mrs. Croll and her daughter
belittled the attractions of their house.
They had no rooms with bath, they were
a little doubtful about the attractive
ness Of the furnishings. but Miss Croll
soon saw that she was in touch with a
different sort OF duchess than those
she had read Of in books.
The Duchess OF Oporto liked the ho-
tel; 1t was handy to the factory, It
was quiet, and she did not mind using
the common bath. She selected a small
room with the regulation washstand,
bowl and pitcher, the oak bureau and
the brass bed, familiar to every travel
Ing salesman in America. Then she
wanted a reception room--asked for
that with her voice tingling with pleas
ure at the fact that her sleeping room
was next to the bath-and the facili-
ties of the hotel were stretched to the
limit She got two rooms on the ground
floor.
Typical Hotel "Parlors"
Both OF them were typical country
fotel ''parlors. All the red plush fur
niture, the highly colored chromos that
go to make those rooms what they are
were there-even the elaborate ebony
vcnecrcd piano. Moreover, the rooms
were as nearly directly on the street
as rooms can be and still be rooms. One
Of tho windows Is really door and
leads directly out TO the sidewalk. Dur
In her weeks stay the Duchess often
sat out on the single low step. her
knees raised high and her feet on the
brick pavement.
Miss Croll and her mother aud the
officials Of the caskct factory were the
Cnly people in Boyertown who knew
And the best part Of It is that they
did not really know either. They had
no appreciation Of the fact that they
were watching the proof Of soul re-
born through love.
The woman that they thought TO be
just the broken hearted widow of
splendid old nobleman-and a delight
fully democratic lover Of egg custard.
string beans, and bread pudding-never
indicated that her romances had been so
hectic in character that they had been
the talk Of the continents. In fact, she
took advantage Of the privilege Of
strangers in small towns and lied a
little. Fearing that something that had
been printed about her in the papers
might have reached here. she told Miss
Croll that the princess mentioned was
another noblewoman of similar name.
She said. further, that the last time
she came to the United States, New
York newspaper had published an ar
ticle which had displeaSed her, so that
on this visit she had decided to keep
her presence a secret, as far us possible.

lie Church. Finally, according to the
sAlmanach de Gotha, they were married
in Rome on September 20, 1917.
The couple were never received by the
royal house of Portugal, and during a
visit to London were not noticed by the
widowed Queen Marie Amelie Of Por-
tugal, nor by the exiled King Manuel.
They returned to Naples, where they
lived at the royal palace in the apart
ments that had always been the Dukes
since the revolution at Lisbon had
thrust him out Of his birthright. He
still had the $4,000 a year which he
had mentioned as making him poor as
a church mouse" at the time Of his
marriage, but the wealth Of his wife
made that seem like nothing. The couple
lived In the italian royal palace until
the death Of the Duke few months ago.
He was nursed by his wife with the
utmost devotion throughout his last ILL
ness.
Told Only Of Love
But the Duchess told little Miss Croll
none of all this and there lies the story.
Her story included only her great love
for the Duke, and in the telling Of II she
proved that she had changed from the
woman who had gained so much noto-
riety.
The Duke was buried in Naples, the
Duchess told Miss Croll, in n specially
designed rosewood casket. The coffin
was surmounted by a large gold cross.
Her devotion to his memory persisted
until she could no longer bear to think
of him lying In a casket that soon would
disintegrate. She decided to come to
America, where she could obtain metal
casket.
Disreaardipg all rank and coming in
A manner entirely contradictory to her
previous fashion of moving with the ut
most publicity, she slipped quietly over
TO America and went to the home of her
sister In Ohio. Here she heard of the
work of the Boyertown casket firm and
decided to have it build special coffin
for her husband.
One afternoon while the Duchess was
helping in the hotel kitchen she hap
pened to be left for moment alone.
A boy came from the grocery with a
load of potatoes. 1t seemed that
telephone call had been made previously
which had "peeved' the young man.
He told the supposed new girl" what
he thought of phone calls in general
and the potato call in particular. At
tracted by the Duchess's slightly foreign
accent, acquired by years of residence
abroad, he fingered to chat.
Tells Him His Error
Learning that she came from Italy,
he mentioned the fact that he intended
subscribing to the fund for the starving
Italians. He was stepped upon immedi-
ately. The Duchess told him that Am
erica was making big mistake in send
ing funds and food to starving (O.
