Maintaining a than ever as the date of her mar- » riage to the duke approaches, she has been unwilling to go to Paris to select new clothes. Friends said the advent of sunshiny, Spring weather had been tempting her to venture about the chateau grounds more frequently, particularly since she has a new Cairn terrier—her Easter gift from Edward.
