The Princess Elizabeth shows

signs of delightful personality. She

has never suffered from shyness_ the characteristic of most ordinal-y Children. She is too alive and alert, too curious and interested in peo-

ple and thihss. to be bashful or retirine~and also (let it be whisp-

ered) $00 conscious of her individ-

uallty.

The Duchess of York. who re-

members how shy she was herself as

a child and a girl, cannot quite understand why hr; dllughtgr i5 5D

different, but by skllful and careful

training she has moulded the

Princess so that her strong persungl

traits have not made her an ab-

normal or precocious child. Yet not

all the Duchess/s efforts can take that scrutinising and imperious look from the Plncessts eyes as they rest on any new or unfamiliar ob-

ject or person.

The first time in: Princess ac. companled her grandparents m Crathie Church a‘. Balmoral-she was barely four-her eager, darting looks at the minister, the congrega- tion, and the church interior, at- tracted attention.

In police circles in Inndon, many stories circulate about the Prin- cess. One ofllcer on duty in Park Lane a few years ago, alleges that she saluted him the first time she was out in her pram in public; while lver quaint remarks to other policemen and detectives also go the rounds.

"Why don't you take ofl‘ your hat when it is so hot," she once said to a tall policeman one warm sum- mer day last year, outside st. .James's Palace. Bhe had just been on a visit to her "Uncle David." It is not a'hat, Elizabeth; it is a hel- met," corrected the Duchess, who was with her. The Princess paused. a little puzzled. "It's on his head. anyway," sly: said finally with con- viction; but she remembered the word. Next time her father was in military uniform and came in to the

Hun With Orange

Cook ham-enough to serve six. It is often wise to parboll it be- fore frying. A one-and-a-half- pound ham steak would suffice. Blend 2 tables is flour with 2 tablespoo fat from fried ham and cook until lightly browned. Add 2 cups orange Juice stirring well to avoid lumps. Cook 5 min- uta, stirring constantly, until sauce is thick, then pour sauce around ham on a serving dish. Garnish with parsley and a few . orange slices.

2. Wash primes, dates, raisins, or dried figs or apricots, chop fine - mix with about twice as much cot- tage cheese, add salt to season and chopped nuts if desired.

3. Smoked cooked fish or canned fiah-flaked-wtih lettuce or cross.

A great deal of superstition is attrached to the dogs physio pow- ers. Should a dog howl at night outside the house of a. sick person, this is supposed to foretell a death. In some districts, too, it was, and still is, believed that, should a dog be willing‘ to approach a. sick ‘person, it was taken as a sign that

the invaled was in a precarious state of health. In the clays when the drown-

irig of unwanted dogs was much more common than ‘it is to-day, it was considered by mum people tobeveryunluokytoseeflhecar- cas of a drowned dog.

Many superstitions centred around the dog's behavior in the house. Should the dog run be- tween the master of the house and a. visiting friend, that friend- ship was supposed to be going to split. Similarly it was considered,

The Welsh who called themselves "Cymry" looked upon themselves as the rightful inheritors of the Isl- and of Britain. They kept their an- cient speech and customs and om- hodled 1n their tradition all that was left of the heroic story and mythology of the British Celts.

The Cymry were amongst the best story-tellers that the world has ever known and the greatest per- iod of all in their literature and in Welsh national life was from 1080-1360. They had many famous bards and story tellers and by the fourteenth century some o! their tile! were written down 1n a manu- script which has been translated, in the nineteenth century, into

171E COOK ‘S CORNER

Some Attractive Recipes

Fritters, either sweet or savoury, make an appctizing stand-by, and there are so many varieties that dullness should not be known in connection with them. A good bat- ter for fritters is made with eight ounces of flour, half a pint of water. two ounces of butter, and the whites of two eggs. Mix the flour with the water to a smooth batter, melt the butler over a low gas, then otlr it by degrees into the flour, add the stiflly beaten whites and fold in lightly.
