How can Elizabeth's personality "ll character be assessed?
well, first of; go to her staunch- ut admirers -- those newspaper men whose ,daily. chore is report- l"; the muitltudlnous duties of ‘he Royal Family.
Early in 1947, Louis Wuiif, vet. "an British Press Association re- pol-ler, wrote in his book "Queen ,1 Tomorrow!"
"Unspoiit, natural, and charm- lng...no matter whom sire-meets |llo looks at each with the same msdfast, direct and tranquil gaze, listens to each with the same in- terested attention, speaks to each ln the same softiyJounded musical volt-c that is so compcllingiy reminiscent of her mother."
Always a happy person, with tiie gift of making those she met happy, too, she could be described s; being uttcrly free from self. consciousness.
Knowledge d the world, state- “all, politics and humanity. wrote Wulfi, are necessary prerequisites of a modern-day‘ princess, and Britain's mistress-tome certainly sdded them to her studies, How. ever, site ‘fwas neither forced grecoclousiy in a hotiiouse of myal learning as a young girl, nor circumscribed in her studies and entertainments when she grew cider."
Therefore. with s vigorous, lively disposition, she could on the one hand be light-hearted, gay and guy-going, and on the other - s serious.minded young woman, swore of solemn duties and the historic role life and circumstances mapped for her.
Basically, Elizabeth was a duti- ful, elder child. klowever, just as s million youngsters in Britain and Canada, shs could curl up, liitiyucat fashion, after a clay oi social chores and avidly read popular novels. "For Whom tiie Bell Tolls," among others, ‘was enjoyable fare.
But reading tastes never stepped st popular titles, as her own library oi classical French and English works gave evidence. The shelves began to expand and when she moved from 145 Piccadilly as s child the transfer of her library was one job she bossed personally.
Another side is given by some habitucs oi social gatherings in London who suggested she included s curt and sometimes imperious side to her make-up. They tell oi s Palace party at. which she found s friend powderlng her nose in a corridor. _
"Elizabeth is reported as snap- ping: "This is not the cloakroom."

Her complexion is creamy and fair. Her eyes, which can crinkle in mellow amusement,- or become solemn and observing, are blue.
A London newspaper scooped rivals with the following:
"Elizabeth's measurements are well-nigh perfect. She has a 34- inch bust, 34-inch hips and 24.inch waist.” The paper explained that before her South African trip, the princess’ liips measured 36 inches, but exertions of travel re- moved two inches.
As a matter of fact, it took a wistful United dtates reporter travelling with the Royal Family in south Africa to sum her up as:
"Oomph!"

Persistent unhappiness can be s disease. That sounds unkind_ but it is true. Continual bad fortune is unnatural and unreasonable. Ev- eryone knows that clouds have silver linings.

Leather bindings may dry out in the hot, dry atmosphere of the home. To keep the leather soft and pliable, work in a very little oil with the hands, especially along the back binding. Use lanolin or rastor oil.
