The watch-fob long since pasI- the added interest of change. ed from fashion now rests in the Jewel case which takes care of our meagre collection of the years. It lies with curious but esteemed bed-fellows.

Our first ring is there, I well beloved circlet of gold, set with three tiny rubies, our birth-stone. It came as a glorious surprise on a white Christmas morning to a small girl from her parents. Tnie they might have bestowed on us a more practical gift, yet it is doubt- ful if world-over they could have found anything which could have equalled the continuing joy it lent through the girlhood years.

The symptoms of cancer in the stomach may come on so quietly that the individual does not sus- pect any trouble. blaming any slight symlptoms present on gas. constipation or nervousness Some- times a cancer remains quiet for months; by the time definite symp- tirns appear it may be too late for operation

Another part of the digestive tract in which various ailments may be present without the patient suspecting them is the large in- testine (lower bowel or colon).

In the American Journal of Surg- ery. Dr. V. 'I'.,Young reports a series of 500 patients who had no complaints as far as the lower bowel was concerned yet 138 ('.!'l.8',"a) were found to have a les- ion (disease of some type). some of these had admitted no symp- toms but on questioning confessed that symptoms probably had been present. Some had what they call- ed slight symptoms but felt that everybody had similar symptoms so disregarded them.

Princess Elizabeth has four ladies-in-waiting who serve her at Clarence House for two weeks and then take four weeks off on a rotal system. To accompany her across the Atlantic she has chosen the Hon. Mrs. Andrew Eiphlnstone, who is a little older than herself. with her dark brown hair swept back from her forehead and an extremely gentle expression. she has known Princess Eliza- beth since they played together as children when she was Jean Fran- ces Hambro. She married Cap- tain C. V. Gibb of the Grenadier Guards who was killed in action in Holland in 1944. Then in 194.6 the widow became the wife of the Hon. Andrew C. V. Elphin- stone whose mother Lady Rose Elphinstone is the Queen's sister.

and she travel: up to London er duties at Clarence House by train and bus. Sometimes she takes along her small daughter. blonde Rosemary Elizabeth, aged 4, who plays with Prince Charles and Princess Anne while their re- spective mothers are engaged. One of the many points Mrs. iElphinstone must always remem- bcr is that she must never wear colors that clash with the Prin- cess's clothes. so in public she generally dresses in dark brown 3or navy blue to harmonize with the warm pastels and greens and yellows Princess Elizabeth usually prefers.

Another member of the Royal party. in official charge of all arrangements, will be Lieut. Gen- eral Sir Frederick Arthur Mon- tiigue Browning. K.B.E. late of the Grenadier Guards. probably the most famous regiment of the British Army which has Princess Elizabeth as its Colonel-in-Chief.

Elizabeth will also take along her private secretary, the Han. Martin M. C. Charterls who is a brother of the Earl of Wemym and March. Handsome and 31. he is married to the younge daughter of Lord Margelson and has three small children.

While he is on the tour. Mrs. Cliarteris is taking the family to the United states to stay with her American-born mother who has a house in the Catskills.

Princess Elizabeth:-i two dressers will also be travelling - they are never officially known as maids. the chief one, Miss Ruby! Mac- donald. who has looked after her for many years. Unidentified but always on guard will be the scot- land Yard detective who is re- sponslble for the Prlncessls safety, co-operating with the local police everywhere she goes and never allowing her to leave his own sight when she is out-of-doors. Prince Philip will take his valet in the party and he will be re- sponsible for all the baggage. This will number around a hundred pieces - the Princess's wlde-skirt- ed satin and chiffon evening gowns cannot be packed in small space and then Prince Philip requires various ,full-dress uniform with all their ceremonial accessories.

Tall and distinguished. ythe 55

year old soldier has been the. Comptroller and Treasurer of the Royal Edinburgh's household since 19-17. He literally holds their purse, paying all their bills, en- gaging and supervising their staff and servants and attending to all the myriad details of their public and personal affairs.

Princess Elizabeth always makes a special point of going over the monthly account-books with him to ensure she is not being extra- vagant. She does not think that just because she is a. Royal lady she should pay more than proper dues for any goods or services.

The General is married to novel- ist Daphne du Maurler and when he is not on duty, he joins her at their big old-world house near Fowey in Cornwall and there they sail and swim and fish with their two teenage daughters.

The Queen still has the oiitsizerl trunks. painted in grey and red, that were made for her own Trans-Atlantic trip in 1939 and these will probably be used yet again by Princess Elizabeth.

It is all creating great interest in London where the Royal Edin- burghs are so well-known people feel a personal association with their activities. Millions. young and old, will be following the pro- grass of their journey overseas with just the some close atten- tioii as will the King and Queen and waiting to welcome them home again when they step ashore .at Liverpool in November.
