Happenings of -The Week I

His Honour 'LieutsnAnt Gov- ernor T. W. L. Prowso and Mrs. Prowse held a private luncheon yesterday for Their Royal High- nerses, the Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of .Edinb.urgh.

Following the luncheon at Gov- ernment House. Their Royal High- nessea drove by a circuitous route through the city to the Domin- ion Experimental Station where. after the presentation If awards and the planting of a tree by the Princess Elizabeth. they were then entertained at tea by the Super- intendent, Mr. R. C. Parent and Mrs. Purcnt.

I I

Their Royal I-lighnesses, the Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh were the guests of honour at a state dinner at ”The Charlottetown" last evening. giv- en by the Government of Prince Edward slanci-the last official event of a happy and most me- morable day.

I I I

The graciousness of His Majesty was never better illustrated than when this week he summoned the Rt. Hon. Clement Attlee, defeated prime minister. to receive the Order of Merit. one of Britain's most coveted decorations. A court circular said that Mr. Attiee re- ceived the award, designed as a special distinction for eminent men and women. during an aud- ience with thc King. now recov- ering from a lung operation. The Order of Merit was founded in 1902 and has a limited member-, ship of 24, except for foreign hon-l orary members.

The absence abroad of Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edin- burgh has meant extra work for 21-year-old Princess Margaret. No doubt her sister's return will be a happy day for the slim. vi- vacious younger Princess. It will lighten considerably' the heavy burden of official engagements now resting on her shoulders. As one of the five councillors of state. appointed by the King to act for him during his illness. she ranks second only to the Queen while Princess Elizabeth is away.

This entails the reading and countersigning of state documents passed by the Queen. the receiv- ing of official visitors and other daily duties.

The Princess. it is said. takes her part of ”stand-in" pretty se- riously. She insists on reading each of the long documents she receives. despite their formidable phraseology. If she is in doubt of their meaning she does not hesitate to ask the department concerned.

The Princess sets aside two hours for her "papers". And that Isn't the full extent of her office work. With the help of only one lady-in-waiting, Jenifer Bevan, she must. also attend to extensive of- ilicial and private correspondence.

"I told Elizabeth not to worry, Ihat we'd look after everything until she returned," the Princess "Is said to have told a friend. "But '1 also told her I'd. be counting the days until she gets home again."

The extra duties have not dim-

ed the spontaneous charm and Ydve of fun of Britain's No. 1 bachelor girl. She still finds time and energy to indulge her 'lavorite pastime, dancing.

After the recent Royal variety .lhow Oct. 29, Margaret headed for the Cafe De Paris to witness Noel Coward's cabaret debut, and stayed long after midnight. The party included Prince Nicholas of Yugoslavia and a favorite escort- of-the-moment. Billy Wallace.

The Princess wore an ivory nstln gown with narrow shoulder straps. embroidered in mother-of- pearl pailletes. and A white fox cape. Next night, in a striking black cocktail dress trimmed with blue sequins and topped by a pale mink coat. she attended "Penny Plain". an intimate re- view starring Joyce Grenfell and Elizabeth Welch.

ANSWER: Living by the high standards your mother is setting for you will be much more productive than following the gang and blindly doing "what all my friends do," which, I know, is the accepted code for teenagers.
