ROYAL SALESWOMAN
Crowds waited by the Duchess of York’s stall at the Royal Bchoul of Needlework when she was quietly making a round of the exhibition and buying Christmas presents. One of die first things she bought was a travelling toilet set made of orange silk and lined with mackintosh. It holds everything necessary for tlw toilet including pyjamas. Then she came to her own stall and stood before a background of colourful needlework cushions tapestry bags and screens, •china and bric-a-brac, both old and new fashioned. The Duchess of York is a charming interested in die job, patient and painstaking, and, unlike most women, a quick ready-reckoner. People who bought from her a twelve and sixpenny pincushion re? eeived the same smile and “Thank you’’ as those who bought expensive antiques.
