The Duchess of Albany is .'the most modest member of , the British royal family. When she occasionally visits London from her home In the-country she refuses to ride' In a: royal carriage or to be Identified as a representative of royalty. She dresses In what even the English consider a particularly "dowdy" fashion. Recently she was dining with Captain and Lady Blanche Seymour at the Bachelors' Club, in London, when a member who: caught sight of- her plain black bonnet told his fellow-members that the club was going to the deuce that r Seymour - had actually brought some one.'s old housekeeper, to dine with him.
