She went through the disciplinary training, learned to drive military vehicles, and passed through a course of instruction which taught her how to maintain and repair them.

The broadcast lasted only five minutes. but in that short SDZlCE of time Princess Elizabeth thrilled the children of the Empire and the U.S.A. She also disposed of any doubts which may have existed a- bout the suitability of hcr voice for broadcasting.

"There" I said drawing a deep sigh of satisfaction, when we sat down to supper last evening "you'll both be able to take a few day's holiduy now-at least until the New Year comes in", "Holiday!"

Princess Elizabeth cemented affection for herself and hcr sister to a grcaier_ extent; than hnd ever existed before, A measure of that affection was the sudden increase in the number c-f gifts as Wcil as letters sent to her from overseas. for distribution to children in war- time Britain.

Presents from personal acquaint- ances, organizations, Government representatives, and s0 on, may be accepted by the Princesses for their personal use. But it is a necessary rule that anything sent to them with any ulterior motive may not be accepted. Gifts from commercial firms, for inslange, may_be rejected by reason of lhc possible advertisement value in- volved. Rejected prescnls are either returned, or with the donor's per- mission may be used for charitable purposes.

It is customary for o, British Princess to hold some honorary ranks in addition to the oncs that Come to her in n hereditary may. Early in 1942, sucii n step was con- sidered in the case of Princess izabeth. and her appointment its Colonel of some regiment of the British Army was decided upon,

When this decision was made known. speculation regarding the choice of regiment became wide- spread. Several famous ones seem- ed to have good claims, and it was generally believed that the Prin- cess herseif hoped 1t would be g Scottish corps. But the Royal Scots (the Scottish regiment most closely associated with the Princesses of the Royal blood) already had a Princess as honorary Colonel. the Princess Royal, aunt of Princess Elizabeth, having heitl that position for a number of years.

It was finally announced, in February i942. that the regiment Chm" i0 be directly associated with the heiress to the Throne was the Grenadier Guards. The appoint- ment of Her Royal Highness as the honorary Colonel was made the occasion for a regimental ceremony. and has lince made further inspec- iitma at parades of the corps. Af- ter all, the Grenadier Guards rank first among British Army mgr. mfliid. though the Colilatream Guardsare of earlier origin.

I am a very domestic man and desire above everything else n home and children. Do you think if I married this girl we would have any chance of happlnefié?

ANSWER: I should consider such a marriage most inadvisable‘ for both you and the girl. It would be bound to end dlsastrously be- I cause it would lack the one thing that is most important in marriage, and that. is for the husband and wife to have the same interests, the! same ideals and the same goal.
