Court, But Keeps Job
London._•A London shopgirl " has
gained distinction by curtseying to the
King .and Queen at a royal court one
evening and showing up for work the
next morning as usual. She is Miss
Dorothy Knaggs, daughter of Lady
Knaggs, and she has been working in
a large West End store.
Miss Knaggs has a bent for design-
ing and drawing. One day last winter
she stepped into a store with some of
her own sketches under her arm.
These were her only credentials. She
displayed her work to the chief of the
"Help Hired Here" department, and
the next day at 8 a.m. appeared as
one of the artists of the designing de
partment. She has held her position
ever since.
Few of the other shopgiris know
that Miss Knaggs, when: her day's
work is over, goes to a Mayfair man --
