The San Francisco “Call” publishes an article which purports to describe how Queen Alexandra and Lady Curzon went bargain-hunting, and the gowns they bought. The shops are visited, well-informed and obliging clerks display the dress goods and laces, and her Majesty leaves the shop with a fine collection of pretty things for the royal modistes to work upon. The only concession made to her rank is that the Miops are cleared, or, at least, an aisle is reserved, so that her Majesty can bargain-hunt without hindrances. Yet it frequently happens that the Queen will go, attended only by a lady of honour, and will shop incognita, none but a few recognising her in the crowd of shoppers. Through the intermediary of the Imperial Chancellor, Prince George of Schauraburg-Lippo and Count Leopold o' L’ppo-Detmokl have come to an agreement to entrust the decision regarding their claims to a court of arbitration.
