Woi11en's realm PAGE TWO THE GUARDIAN MAY 31, 1952 Happenings of The Week Princess Margaret, focal point of romantic interest beforo the death of her father. will be freed of strict court mourning rules June 1 Since the -King died Feb. 6, the 21-year-old Princess has been seen least of any member of her fam- ily. But next month she will again be free to go to the plays and parties she loves. Friends report is great change in Margaret. formerly regarded as the liveliest and gayest of her family. Her lengthy telephone conversations with friends have stopped and there are only no- casional signs of the familiar in- terest with which she greeted the public. Last year she smoked a. pack- age of cigarettes a day and drank an occasional cocktail. Today she neither smokes nor drinks. "Nothing seems the same with- out papa." she has said. Her first public appearance will he June 6, when she attends the trooping of the color, the tradit- ional annual ceremony at which the monarch takes the salute from the Brigade of Guards. But her return to a normal life will be gradual. As the memory of her father's death dims, she may again set the tone of infor- mal gaiety in Royal circles. Newspaper columnists. who for- merly filled columns with spec- uiauon on hnr future husband. have been unable to link her name with any of Britain's elig- ible nobles. But her sister, the Queen, al- ready has asked Parliament to make financial provision for Mar- garet and her future husband. Whoever Margaret's choice may be, it is considered certain she will not marry until after her sister's coronation, scheduled for June 2. 1953. Though Elizabeth has given no command. the family and court ladies will wear half-mournlniz until the summer season ends. The Queen's infrequent public ap- pearances indicats that women: fashions may soon be given a jolt. At the Chelsea flower show she wore a shoulder-cape coat dis- tinctly reminiscent of the '99-W1- ette collar" inaugurated by Queen Victoria. Her flappy black um- hrelln also conjured up memories of the Victori.sn.pa.rasol. Congratulations are being ex- tended to Dr. and Mrs. G. DouB' ias Steel on the appointment of their son.

Md). 2 DIET TREATMENT OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE You may hear or read about the rice diet. in the treatment of high blood pressure. There is no deny- ing the fact that middle-aged men and women are able to keep their prcssu-re down several points by following the rice diet faithfully. However, the truth of the matter is that the rice diet is helpful be- cause it does not permit the use of table salt. (sodium chloride) and foods rich in other forms of so- dium. In other words, any indi- vidual with high blood pressure who is willing to reduce the am- ount of sodium in his food daily will get the same satisfactory low- erlng of the blood pressure as those following the strict rice diet. In the British Medical Jouriinl. Dr. H. Uckoreports his testing of the barley diet. Kemper's rice diet and a diet low in sodium in 14 un. selected patients (walking about) with high blood pressure, two of whom had chronic kidney disease. Mr. and Mrs. C. ill. Edwards of Toronto are staying at the Char- lottetown Hotel.

They were under observation for periods of one to 11 months. they were taking, their urine was tiiiued on the low four of the five on the barley diet continued with the low sodium diet and four were put on the low sodium dict. from the beginning. Blood pressure fell in all pa- tients. It is the amount of sodium, or salt. in the diet that is the de- ciding factor in lowering the blood pressure. For those who do not want to follow the rice diet or the barley diet, it is well to know that the following foods are low in. or con- tain but a. small amount of, so- dium: apples, asparagus, cabbage, Brussels sproutsflettuce, grapes, lemons. oranges, sugar. jelly, hon- ey: unsalted bread and unsalted butter.

On day Miss Kelly was the guest of honour at too at the home of or other workaday activities rath- er than spending the weekend in the pursuit of pleasu c. There seem to be urges to keep on the job, to give attention to the things left undone prior to begin- ning ainew program of pushing ideas, in developing plans of scope and expansion. And although there be some risk in this, with possible hazard for funds, there is ' excitement in the gamble, perhaps stimulus of one sort or another. If It Is Your Birthday Those whose birthday it is may find much stimulus in making a drastic change in their connec- tions, perhaps affecting private associations, business security and financial ventures. Change seems in the wind, with major planets inciting and offering thrill and adventure as well as the element of chance, change and it personal "lift". Wise heads may work against this, and, as well, there seems to be some phase of social or domestic disapproval. A child born on this day may have is yen for taking all sorts of chances with funds, ideas, ener- gies and even private or domestic obligations. There may be mate- rial benefit as well as personal disillusionment. Day After Tomorrow The horoscope holds sugury of a. fairly conventional day. It is probable that there may be more than the customary incitement to move about, with short journeys. new interests and contacts giving desired lift in the line of duty. Discretion is enjoined in all social or sentimental activities. For the Birthday Those whose birthday it is may have a year in which there is change or new interests. Possibly there may be change of scene it not in material or physical envi- . nment in mental pointa of view. New studies might be found thrill- ing, enhancing prestige and pop- ularity. Finsncial prospects may not be so gratifying. A child born on this day may have a decided trend for the new, experimental and scientinc. per- haps with more profit to its per- sonal or intellectual advantage than to its pocketbook.

It bubbles forth from the base of a cliff in a quiet green glade where only echoes of the world about may enter. Fragrant woods' scents are there and seated on s mossy knoll one may catch the chuckle of thanks from the mill- strenm below, as it gathers up in passing the cool crystal spring waters there. An old mossy tub catches t.lie water as it gushes from the fissure of rock, remind- ful of an era of living which knew little of pumps-or refrigerators.
