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!

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.

Countess of Strathrnore became

training of the princess. It was

in court etiqu6t and the discipline
that goes with long ceranonials.
For instance, it wns in i935 that
the little princess was first taken

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

and by singing and reciting in
French.
Thvuidl by this time she was
allowed to drive a little electric car

gardens at Windsor. her hther put
