The Week

_-i-.-_-_F_-

Persons close to the royal fam-

ily predicted Monday that Prin-I

cess-Elizabeth would make a com- promise between short and long skirts in the going-away costume she will wear after her wedding next month. “The ladies of the royal family," one high-placed in- formant said, "do not jump at vogues. They are pretty constant and conservative in their choice o.‘ clothes and do not take readily to the unusual in fashions and do not at all to the daring, the ec- centric. and the commercially ex- ploited sty-les. "The Princesses nat- urally incline to follow the tradi- tional trends, but if for any rea- son one of them got the idea she c‘ _ like to wear a skirt shorter or‘ longer than was considered in the best taste. I am sure the Queen would scotch it." I I I

It was further pointed out that if Princess Elizabeth should wear the long skirt, many women would , resolve to follow her ‘lead at any cost of money or ration coupons- This would result in a far greater demand for cloth than could be met.

I I I

Ppincesl Elizabeth has received a special allowance of 100 clothin; sou-pens for her forthcoming mar- flage to Limit, Philip Mountbatten. The six bridesmaids have received a. special allowance of 23 6101M"; coupons each and 10 extra cloth- ing coupons have been allowed for each of the two ‘youns P36“-

Mrs. Manning also wanted to know whether special clothing C0990" would be issued to enable Princess Elizabeth to follow the traditiona- “edding gifts representative of Brtish industry- T°_ this W150“ rgplled: “Princess Elizabeth ha! esked that these gifts should be limited in size in keeping W?! the present difficult times and t 6 Board of ‘Trade has undertaken to issue the necessary "mipims a“ licences to enable them to be sc-

ccpted.” ' . _

IN CHARGE OI‘ Till ROYAL WEDDING

The wedding of Princess Ilia- beth to Lieutenant Philip Mount- batten. et Westminster Abbey on November 30th is e matter of hist- ory. end despite the austerity trend in Britain today. this his- torical aspect is to receive the consideration of the planners, though neither the Princess nor her Royal parents are in the least lovers of ostentatlon.

In charge of all the arrange- ments for the Royal Wedding — apart from the religious service — is the Lord Chamberlain. chief member of the Royal Household, who wears on his ceremonial Court tunic. an embroidered key which indicates that the keys of the Sovereignts residence‘ are in his charge.

Every detail of the procession from Buckingham Palace to the Abbey, and the seating within the Abbey itself is being directed from offices in St. James’: Palace. where it is usual at the weddings of members of the Royal Family to display the wedding presents to the public, charging a s all fee for admission which is rece ved by e notable charity.

WEDDING reassure roit f!!! PRINCESS

With four weeks to go before the Royal Wedding in London. presents and offers of gifts are pouring into Buckingham Palace from every part of the world. In the main, unless they are from personal friends, these wedding gifts, sent as a token of friend- ship towards the Princess, ere for needy families, and hospitals in Britain.

The gifts range from food per- cels, bought with the pennies of schoolchildren, to the furnishings for a complete room. Counties, towns and overseas countries are now holding special meetings to discuss what they will send. Many have written to the Palace to ask if the couple have expressed any particular wish.

Many of the collections now be- ing raised will go towards endow- lng hospital beds in the names of Princess Iflizabeth or Lieutenant Mountbatten. Gifts of money not specially ear-marked will be given to charities chosen by the Prin- cess.

Lancashire is subscribing to fur- nish e room in Princess Elizabeth's home with period furniture. Laun- dries eli over Britain have got to- gether to raise 84.000 for e bed in

Importance Of Conversation

Instruction of Talks By Mother liltal To Children's Education

Teaching a. child how to talk may sound like carryins 00815 $0 New‘ castle, yet there is no part of a child's education that is more import- ant and none that is more sadly neglected. Most mothers consider that when they have taught a youngster to lisp “da-da" and “hl" and “bye-

bye" that they have done their full duty, and after that Junior is left on his liguistic own.

That gives us the horde of half-grown children who act as ff they were morons in the presence of their elders. They are shy and awkward and utter- ly without the small change of conversation. They are dumb as clams when introduced to strangers. and their mothers have to prod them into mumbling an incoherent “thank you" when they receive a gift. or have something nice done for them.

Naturally these children grow up and in the course of time acquire a vocabulary, but there are thousands upon thousands who never develop any

ski.l in the use of their tongues and who are handicapped all of their lives by never having been taught how to talk. They may be highly in- telligent. They may love devotedly. They may do the kindest and most helpful things. But they never can tell what they know, or ex- press what they feel, and they spoil their good deeds by doing them so gruffly that they offend when they are most trying to please. '

‘asw , worms IMPORTANT i

A great novelist wrote that he had to brace himself by wrapping his legs around his chair rung before he could bring himself to make the hero of his story call the heroine "darling", and there are plenty of men like that. They are fillccl with sentiment that they can't express, and they let their poor wives starve to death for a little of the love that they feel, but cannot utter.

In reality, there is nothing in our whole lives that we need to acquire skill in so much as we do in talking. For it makes us, or mars us. It gives us friends, or enemies. It is our tongues that open, or shut, the door of opportunityto us. For conversation isn't just words. It is the choice of the right ones.

The other day. for instance, a girl wrote me that she had all the lines of attractions that. are supposed to appeal to men. She was pretty, well-educated, a good dancer, etc., but she never had a boy to date her. She wondered why. But you didn't need to be a soothsayer _to know; the reason for her beiniz a Wallflower when she added: "I'm very frank. ' I never butter boys up. I say exactly what I think and tell them of their faults.” But, alas, frankness is not a man's dish. No boy ever came back for a second helping of it.

And then there are the innumerable good, kind, well-meaning peo- ple who are bulls in the conversational china shop and who, with no malice intended, tell you the things that you would rathcr die than hear. Who has not had their day rullled for them by all old friend, whom they had not- scen for years, who exclaimed: Sally, but heavens, how you have broken! when you were young." Or who has not had a. kindly soul ask solicit- ously if it were true that their little Johnny had tuberculosis?

Words were given us to hide our thoughts, as well as to express them, and that is why all parents should teach their children. from the cradle up, how to use them skillfully. For in the last days, when those we love have gone from us, God knows whether we shall most regret what we have said. or left unsaid.

Northern Ireland is arranging to send the choicest Irish linen. It is hoped to display the linen in Bel- fast. before dispatch, for it's likely to be the most beautiful col- lection ever seen in the history of the industry.

Amongst those gifts from over- seas which the Princess will treas- ure most will surely be Canada's gifts of a fur coat of the finest wild mink and of antique silver.

SILK FOR. PRINCESS ELIZABETH

At Britain's only silk farm, owned by Lady I-Iart Dyke at Lull- ingstone Castle, Kent, vtcn girls are reeling silk for Princess Elin- betb.

Twenty pounds of rew silk ere being sent to the Royal Weavers in London to be incorporated into the Princess’ wedding gown end train. That means 60 yards of 54-inch satin from about 34.000 cocoons. The news that this Eng- lish silk was to be used in the wed- ding dress» brought numerous vis- itors down to see the silk farm “win8" of the castle.

The silk farm started in 1932 in

an attic. Now, at the height of the season, 40 men and women ere kept busy at Lullingswne. ‘Ivo- thirds of all their produce goes for export.

"The idea, though," Hart Dyke, "really started when I was six years old." And because she remembered her own enthusi- asm as e little girl, silk from silk worms reared by schoolchildren is being included in the Royal wed- ding gown!
