Happenings of sfllhe Week

The King snd Queen who arrived In Birmingham on Wednesday with

- the two Princesses, spent more than

two hours inspecting the royal train. finished outside in crcam and gold with gold lettering, which they will use on their tour of South

' Africa. next February. Each coach

of the train-built here —is air- conditioned and equipped with ra- dio. The lighting is fluorescent and curtains are in the Queen's fav- orite shade of light- blue.

O I O Princess Elizabeth -her charms and graces and her general resemb- lpagice to her mother, the Q1199!!- was the main topic of conversation in the ancient cathedral city of Exeter set amid the rolling hills

of “glorious Devon."

, ..

"Just like her ‘mother" was the general verdict and some folk open‘ |y expressed the hope thflt Sh‘? would marry an Engll5llmlllt But s“ mtgm be a good idea. if she wedded a Canadian," said an el- derly woman in charge of a to- bucco stand. "It would help keen the old empire together.’ A city policeman in the spiked Ilellfl?! worn by the Devonshira constabu- iary said he remembered Elizabeth when she visited Devon on a noli- day with her parents in 1937, “She's grown into a lovely young woman. he said. "I don't think her pictures do her justice at all."

. . s

Her Royal Highness showed I fresh and unaffected interest ‘n the city's ancient landmarks and when she left for the home of Earl Fort- escue. Lord Lieutenant of Dev’ she carried a book on the history of the 12th Century Guildhall here. the oldest courthouse in Britain. The princess spent a quiet evening at Castle Hill. traditional home of the Fortescues, and retired carly in readiness for her visit to Top- sham barracks where she met army cadets in training. Later she was Scheduled to inspect the Princess Elizabeth Orthopaedic Hospital which was named after her in 1927 when she was only f9 months old.

O O I

City officials said their difficulty was running the current royal'tour on schedule because the Princess takes "such a lively interest in all Ill! 809!” 5nd is apt to prolong visits in conversations with per- sons she meets. "You can't hurry her when she is interested." one member of the royal entourage said, “She really likes to know what, is going on."

The mother-ln-isw trouble. which wrecks so many homes. is near- ly B-lwflys due to a possessive mother who refuses to cut er apron strln-z-s when her duushter gets married. or to a foolish grl who is always more daughter than she is wife.

Just at the present moment I am watching one of these mother- daughter-compiex cases work itself out to lht. bitter end. which is going to be another matrimonial wreck. And it l5 llle Wllng We Wh“ is scuttling the ship by keeping Mother the dominant flkure lh he’! life end snaking her husband play second fiddle to her

All her life Mother held Betty by the hand and never let her stand. alone. She bought her clothes. picked out her friends. told her what to do and think. done everything but breathe for her: so when Betty got married it never occurred to Mother that slie swhouidnft run Betty's house and manage her husband. or to Betty. that she shouldn't turn to her Mother’. instead of hea- husband, for advice and guidance. Mother was still first with her.

But Betty's husband doesn't see eye to eye with her on the Queen Mother proposition. He didn't marry Betty just i0 be a blllpayar. He expected to be the head of the house and to have his wife depend upon him and look up to him. and to admire his taste and respect his judgment, and to believe that if he wasn't Solomon himself. he had been at least bitten by Solomon's dog.

So it is a bitter pill for him to swallow to have his wife scoff at his opinions and refuse to take his advice and run and ask Mama what she should do Naturally he makes faces over the dose that Betty is always ramming down his throat. Especially when lie finds that Betty blabs even their most private affairs to her mother.

inevitably they quarrel. and Betty doesn't even know that in putting her mother above her husband she is heading for the divorce court. For the foundation of every successful marriage rests on the husband's fond belief that his wife looks up to him as a source of all wisdom. and that however he may rate with others. he is an oracle to her. '

Whenever a wife begins every sentence with “John says." it is the guarantee of a happy and peaceful home. But "Mother says" are the fighting words the world over.

"l-leigh-hoi" he yawned. after supper. fairly drag- ging himself over to drop info his armchair. "You know Ellen" this when I would have pressed him "I've had a long day-and a hard nay".

SHOULD CONFBSS HAIR. SECRETS

The one person to whom you must confess your secret, if you dye. bleach or use rinses of ‘ncnna compounds on your hair, is the operator who gives you a perman- ent wave.

Unless she is told and uses meth- ods of coping with the chemical agents which can affect a perma- nent. your wave may not come through as bouncy as you would like. The presence of chemicals or their after-effects on hair will of- fect an operator's decision as to the degree of heat and the kind of lotion she applies; sometimes as to the method of permanent wav- ing used.

Of course. the best plan for wav- in: hair that's been bleached. dyed or treated to rinses which impart a coating ls to recondition it l-r-fore you undergo a permanent. That can be done by a shop or at home. If you take pver the lob yourself- the first Step is to pass up the usc cf‘colour dodges. The program af- ter that covers frequent hot oil treatments. and faithful daily brush- ing and pampering with scalp pom- psdes or tonics.
