Takes Active Part In Rearing Little Heiress _To British Throne

_-ni

The Princess Elizabeth was not

mute 10 when an event of really major importance entered her lilo.

They were stdyllhg at Sand1'll!¢~

ham, when suddenly she ond Margaret Rose were sent home to London. They were wld that "grandfather is very ill,"

And yet a few days later they

were returning with the duke and Duchess to Sandringham to see *grandfather* fm' the last time, lying so still ns the candies flick- ered and the tnmen guardsmen stood at either corner ot the casket.

But of course. “Uncle Dave" was

to be king. Elizabeth still rememb- ered how he had sent her the cute °¢'fI'10l' Duplly when she was three, and how he liked to get right on the floor and "play horses." And of course there was that time when she tried to curtsey when David entered the room, and fell down. He, himself fell down in the some manner just to show that lt could happen to anybody. even the Prince of Wales. How

they both laughed!

Elizabeth Gets $20 Monthly

Allowance

But Elizabeth was growing “P

rapidly now. When she was six she had been given her first POSU office Bank, to put her pennies 1"- wigh all of $20 a month to Spend. quite by herself, it was p0€Sibl€ $0 save a lot of pennies, 211011811 °f wurse now there were things like buying holiday presents for Mar- garet Rose, as befitted a practic- ally grown-up young lady nearly five years older.

The relationship between Princ-

ess Elizabeth and her baby sister has been one of the delights oi' those who have observed the royal family closely. That me was plac- ed in a situation of "little mother" has helped to mature Elizabeth and her protective attitude and practical care oi Margaret Rose have impressed many. The care with which Elizabeth planned her parties and gifts on festive occas- ions with the interest of her baby sister at heart were most touching.

Gradually the princess’ sphere

began to widen. It was at eight years that she was first taken to the circus. and the furious old clown came to the box and tried to fool her with his "hot peter” trl&, thrusting forward what was agp Dvsed to be s. red-hot irvn. Bague- ious little girls of eight could easily see that it was just red paint.

It was at that time that Princess

Elizabeth went to her first play. Visits to scotland and the Earl and Countess of Strathrnore became mme Fare as Queén Mary took g 'H010 “Hd more active part in the training of the princess. It was the ‘l“@@n Wh0 begun her training in court etiqu6t and the discipline that goes with long ceranonials.

the little princess was first taken fo Witness the annual ceremony oi' the distribution of the Maundy Money, sitting patiently in a stall in Westminister Abbey while the DUI-'ICS were given out to some 140

picked pensioners.

Private Tutoring Likely to be Welolllel

Her 10th birthday was again to

be historic, the only one on which she was to receive a present from "Uncle David” as King Edward VIII, It was a rlding~crop, with her initials embossed in heavy silver. and it took a long time to find it, for the birthday gifts were discovered in a "treasure hunt." Princess Elizabeth enlivened this 0°00Si0¥1 bl' giving a piano recital, and by singing and reciting in French.
