The Duchess of York spent an hour “behind the counter” at the Christmas sale of the Royal School of Needlework, with this result, says an English paper: Crowds passed round hc,r and bought embroidered tray cloths and vanity bags as fast as she could sell them. At times the number of customers waiting to be served was so great that the Duchess had to pass the purchases to her lady-in-waiting, Lady Helen Graham, to bo wrapped up, in order to save time. Afterwards the Duchess, who is president of the school, made a tour of the other stalls. She also served for some time behind a china and glass stall in the furnituro room. She was wearing a long coat of ruby velvet, trimmed with sable fur, and a small felt hat to match.
