The Hatching Cat of Gotham

The Plaza did not allow animals in the elevators, so the princess demanded her own elevator, and gave strict orders prohibiting anyone outside of her circle to ride in it. One day the Duchess of Manchester – the former Miss Helena Zimmerman of Cincinnati, shown here – tried to get on the elevator and the princess told the elevator boy to shut the door on her. Needless to say, the Duke of Manchester was outraged and demanded an apology from the so-called princess.
