. The Week p

now the King's birthday will be celebrated next June is receiving serious attention at Buckingham Palace. The time-honored cere- mony of Trooping the Color will be performed by the brigade of Guards, but it is considered unlikely that the King will be permitted by his doctors to take the salute and in- spect the parade. Normally this is nhvays clone by the Sovereign as colonel-in-chlef of the Guards, wearing the uniform of whatever regiment is trooping its color. He rides horseback in procession with the other Guards’ colonels —- among [hem Princess Elizabeth, who is colonel of Grenadiers. The cere- mony is fairly lengthy and would be a strain on the King, especially as he has not ridden a horse for some time, General impression in Court circles is that Princess Eliza- beth will deputize for the King. She deputizecl for him on one troop- ing parade in 1947. Another mat- ter receiving serious consideration at Buckingham Palace is whether the King will be able to attend this year's Royal Ascot meeting. Meanwhile, the King will begin a new phase of his convaicscence at Easter with a six weeks’ stay at Windsor Castle. He will go for drives in the extensive grounds and will also walk in the gardens. Mem- bers of the Royal household say it Is even possible the King may be able to do a little riding, one‘ of his favorite pastimes.

Princess Elizabeth gave blankets Ind bonnets Thursday to some of lhe 2.272 British children who share [the November 14 birthday of her ion. Prince Charles. Names of babies born in the United Kingdfim were put in a hat. To each of the first 200 drawn, the Princess gave a pair of blankets sent her by the zaeople of New South Wales, Aus-

ralia. A separate drawing was held for London babies born on the same day as the Prince for 21 babies‘ bon- nets sent. by the Dallas, Texas. FFeen-Age Council. The drawing was sponsored by the \Vomen's Volun- teer Services, of which Queen Elizabeth is president.

The Duke of Edinburgh isn't go- lng to let his son-who some day tmay be king-grow up to he n

issy. The duke said he wants Erince Charles to be handy with

\ Ellen 's Diary‘

If you have been accustomed to dine, one of a table of ten, you are aware of a strange fascination in being an onlooker while it is being arranged for one. And so, wide-

For once she had pointed out a scarlet patch. which she said was ‘a bit of one of Kate's. Sundgy dresses-poor thing" and she was dead now many a year. You wish. ed then you had dared ask about the rest, stitched about in herring- bone pattern and crows’ feet and other lovely nameless stitches, but you were too shy to ask. (“That child" Jeanie will laugh now about grand-daughter, "asks more ques- tions!" And "answer them, and BYWWPREE her to ask more", we say "how else can small ones learn'."’)

We recall now that in the kitch- en of that maiden lady's house in the village homespun rags partly covered the wide board floor-all swept and clean in the revealing light of the friendly low stove . . . What delightful places those were to dream into-those old Water- loos, and Yarmouths and others of those open-faced kin! While the fire glowed in tongues of flame or burned out into intriguing embers! The clean white cloth, she spread on the table with a certain grace and dignity, was hand-woven too, and the candle she lit, favoring its light instead of a lamp, was home- made too.

SUNDAYS horoscope holds aug- urgy of exceptional activity, with all forms and phases of being. liv- ing and doing aimed at "hitting the

spots,” with the energies.

forces and faculties pitched to lofty objectives, no Jnstter in which as-

the mold be cast. While ideal-

istic, mystical and subjective drives

to be reckone with. the de-

nouement is to be a tained and cli-

ed by the practical. materialis-

tic and thoroughly objective on all levels of accomplishment. Probably an unforgettable day in all rela- tions.
