Stories They
 Tell of Lady Elizabeth

LONDON. Feb 2S.-Since the pub. lie learned of the engagement of the Duke of York to Lady Elizabeth Bowes Lyon, the papers have been flooded with copy of the q knew her when" type. The truth of the matter is that the only thing most Englishmen knew about Lady Eliza beth was that she was one of Prin- cess Mary's bridesmaids, so that most any little insight into her life is news to them. Now, in England, there comes time in the life of all most everyone of consequence when he or she is thrown into contact with American tourists, and likely as not, something funny happens. Usually the joke is on the Americans.
 It was that way with Lady Eliza beth. according to one of the stories now being circulated about her. It seems that once upon time a party of American tourists came to her fathers famous Irish seat, Glamis Castle, where Hamlet is supposed to have killed Duncan. Lady Elizabeth. though usually sedate, was for the moment in a playful mood She at tired herself in housemaid's garb, ap- preached the visitors. and offered to show them the sights. Her offer was accepted and the visitors, after giving the place the "once over" tipped her and went their way, never suspeeting that the modest maid was the daughter of the titled owner and destined to be the Duchess of York.
