io " ¥ CoA EE Ta > Bundle Of Washing Was Royal Baby Bright among the crown jewels that form the official Regalia of the British realm there shines the crown of Queen Mary of Modena. A lustrous miracle of rose-cut diamonds and enormous pearls, it ranks as one of the oldest pieces of the Regalia and has never been worn in modern times. Yet it enshrines the me- mory of a beautiful Queen Con- sort who longed above all else for a child who would one day hold the British throne. "Mary of Modena was only fourteen years old when she heard that she had been chosen to marry a widower who was twenty-six years her senior, "But who is this Duke of York?" she asked through her tears. "And why should he want to marry me?" Schooled in a convent ever since she was nine, the lovely young Italian princess knew no- thing of life outside the grey walls of the nunnery. A courtly ambassador poured jewels into her lap and explained that her bridegroom was brother of none other than King Charles II of England. "It may well be that the Duke of York will one day be King," he added. "And then you will become Queen of England!" The widower Duke--then forty years old--had pored over the portraits and dossiers of half a dozen European princesses be- fore he selected the innocent, timid child in the convent. The marriage was readily ar- ranged and, in the event, Mary of Modena was actually married to James, Duke of York, without seeing him. According to the custom of the ti.e, the bridal ceremony was performed by proxy. Then Mary set out for Eng- land. At every stage of the jour- ney, she wrote to the Reverend Mother, her heart still more with the nuns than with her husband. Yet Mary was to prove a faith- ful and loving wife. She set to work to learn English and when she found that her husband longed, above all, for a son who would become heir to the throne she soon shared his ambition. By his first wife James already had two daughters, Protestant in upbringing, but a son could dispossess them in the succes- sion. Soon the court was in a fervour of excitement at the news that Mary was expecting a child. When it proved to be a girl, Mary had the infant baptized at her bedside but King Charles insisted on an official christen- ing with full ceremonial. "De- spite her two half-sisters," he declared, "she might yet grow to be a Queen!"

But then began a series of baby dramas that kept the nation in constant suspense. Mary was already preparing for a newcomer and her second child arrived with such unex- pected speed that few official witnesses were present. All over London staid councillors hurried out of nightshirts into ceremon- ial robes in order to rush to Mary of Modena's bedside. Again the baby proved to be a "girl. The following year a baby Prince arrived at last . , . but not for long. It is sometimes said that his elder half-sister, Princess Anne -- later Queen Anne--quickly dreamed up a fiendish means of his disposal. As a boy he robbed Anne of her prospects of the throne. But Anne was just recovering from smallpox and, either thoughtless- ly or with malice aforethought, she left her sickbed to rush to the baby's side. The nurses incurred the blame when, instead of peals of rejoic- ing, the bells tolled his funeral. With equal folly Mary of Mo- dena saved his baby clothes for the next arrival. "Other women give their children to the world. I give mine to the angels!" she consoled herself when yet an- other baby--and after still an- other--went the same tragic way. . Five years passed and men whispered that Mary's hopes of a living son for the throne could never be fulfilled. The issue was becoming crucial. King Charles died, whispering of Nell Gwynn. James was King and Mary -- walking in golden shoes over a path strewn with flowers--was crowned Queen at his side. Then, before Coronation year had run its course ,she jubilant- ly announced that, once again, a baby was on the way. In the coffee-houses gossips gave open cries of disbelief. Far from sup- porting the Protestant succession of his daughters, Anne and Mary, it was argued that James wished to foist an impostor on the na- tion. Perhaps a Catholic baby would be smuggled into the bed- chamber. The rumour of a plot was so rife that no fewer than eighteen peers and privy councillors crowded into the natal room. in St. James's Palace. A gaping crowd of sixty-seven people - jostled in the anteroom outside. Curtains were drawn around the bed while the officials stood at a distance but at the first sound from the Queen they rush- ed to the curtains. Pitifully she begged the King to hide her face with his head and periwig. Then, unmistakably, there was a baby's cry. _ The shout passed from one to another. "A Prince! A Prince!" The King was so delighted that he promptly knighted the doctor who knelt beside the bed. A lively, lusty infant was car- ried through the crowd in the adjoining room but still there were doubters who averred that a maidservant"s new-born baby had been smuggled to the Queen in a warming-pan. Next day the story took a different turn. The real baby, it was said, died in the night and was replaced by a changeling. The simple truth was that King James had already declar- ed his intention of rearing the boy as a Catholic--and men were ready to believe anything they heard rather than accept a Catholle successor to the throne. Louder grew the voices of rumour and a petition was drawn up complaining that a spurious prince had been foisted on the nation. To stem the tide James set up a special tribunal of inquiry. A string of witnesses gave precise evidence of the- birth. One witness had even seen fire in the warming-pan that was supposed to have held the spuri- oue baby. Still the nation was dissatis- fied and William of Orange was asked to "invade by invitation." Married to King James's eldest daughter (by that monarch's first marrige) he eventually ac- cepted the British throne. The rest is history. Mary of Modena's infant son never gain- ed the crown. At five months old, wrapped up to look like a bundle of washing, he was hur- ried quietly into a rowing-boat on the Thames .and so transfer- red to a ship for France. He never reigned and histor- ians to this day still talk of him as the Old Pretender. Morern Etiquette By Anne Ashley Q. What is the proper way to introduce friends to one's parents? A.

Clarke The long wait is finally over and we have another little prince. Isn't that wonderful? I am so glad the baby is a boy because with two male heirs to the throne poor little Anne will have a better chance to lead a normal "little-girl's" life. When Edward VIII abdicated my greatest concern was for the two wee girls, Elizabeth and Margaret. From the schoolroom they were suddenly thrust into a world in which they became heirs to the British Crown and all the in- cidental responsibilities that naturally followed. Until now it looked as if Anne, too, as second in line, would be subject to a strenuous life of tr aining. Now however, concentrated prepara- tion for royal duties will centre more on the young princes than their sister. I would imagine the Queen will also be glad that her small daughter is twice removed in the line of succession. She has reason to know the difference it can make. Of course, until the birth was announced interest last week was mainly on the Queen herself. I think many Canadians felt a cer- tain responsibility for her wel- fare because of the strenuous tour of Canada during the un- comfortable heat of last sum- mer. But now we can really re- joice. According to all accounts the Queen is fine; the baby is a boy and everyone is happy. We were busy quilting again last week. I took my needle- threader with me and you should just have heard the comments ... "I'd do a lot more sewing if I had one of these contraptions . . . the most marvellous little machine I ever saw . . . no need to suffer from eye-strain with one of these around." I rather think the store from which I bought the needle-threader will be deluged with calls. Another little sewing job I undertook last week was mak- ing "bundle-wraps" for o r local hospital. It was my first attempt at that job and before I got the hang of it I was almost saying my prayers backwards, You have to be so exact in measuring to ensure a perfect square that I began to think a special course in geometry would have been quite and asset. Bundle-wraps are for the purpose of wrapping surgical instruments, and, since they are so necessary, I suopose anyone who can sew should at least do her share. In my in- nocence I accepted thirteen to make up -- about seven too many for my peace of mind. In the middle of bundle-wraps and quilting I also had a W.I. meeting of conveners and execu- tives here. _ I thought there might be about eight, instead a baker's dozen turned up. One item on the agenda was the pur- chase of a Tweedsmuir History scrap-book. That started the ball rolling -- history-wise. T wish 1 could tell you some of the stories that were fold. Babies born at home under primitive conditions: churches consecrated with whis- ky -- and the remainder consum- ed by the workers! Parties, and weddings and barn-raisings. The nineteenth century was truly 'a colourful period in Canada. And how the ladies loved reneating stories they had heard from par: ents or grandparents. I don't think we shall have any trouble getting material for our scrap- book. Partnér was working down in the basement -- or should I say he was hiding-out? After- wards he said -- "What in the world was all the talking about? It was a continued 'clack-clack' all the afternoon?" Well, you know how it is -- and I can quite believe it did sound rather awful downstairs. Of course there was also plenty of talking at the quiltings -- sometimes concerning trading stamps and the illegal use of Hansard. None of the quilters was_ in- favour of stamps but what grieved them most was the fact that Byrne Hope Sanders was mixed up in it. My generation remembers her best as the one- time popular editor of the "Chatelaine' magazine. However, I find what is known about a person depends a lot upon age. . Dee said -- "And who is Byrne Hope Sanders?" 1 was shocked until I remembered that at the time Miss Sanders was editor of "Chatelaine" Dee was more in- terested in movie magazines. Today I am equally ignorant about what constitutes a "beat- nik." As for trading stamps I am still opposed to them. Last De- cember a new supermarket opened near here and Ihave been saving stamps as an experiment. I have about half a book. In three months I may have enough to get a stuffed toy -- value about $2.50. Trading stamps -- who says women want them? Apparently only those interested in the manufacture of stamps. If any supermarket announced even - a one-cent decrease on ALL mer- chandise shoppers would beat a track to its door. How many times must we women say we don't want stamps before we'll be believed? Shot To Health "Thousands of people, hit by recent heavy floods in Pakistan, owe their lives to the "miracle injectors" being used for emer- gency immunization, v = More than 75,000 Karachi re- sidents have been treated by the pistol-like injectors to protect them against threatened epide- mics of cholera, typhoid fever and influenza. When the Pakistani Minister of Health toured the flooded areas, he ordered the instru- ments following their inventor's claim 'of more than a thousand immunizations in one hour. The injector, which resembles a pistol complete with trigger and barrel, does not have a necdle to carry the serum under the. skin, Using a hydraulic prin- | ciple, it shoots the dosage, and makes a hole only slightly larg- er than the diameter of a human hair. When the point is pressed against the skin, and the trigger pulled, a measured dose of the serum is shot painlessly into the flesh. The injector has no needle or other equipment that requires sterilization after each use, and the patient's arm does not have to be sponged first with alcohol before the injection, SALLY'S SALLIES 'They say Life heginy at 40.' How I hope you come to life . by thenl" E Training Of A Future Queen "This has been a vy gay week -- Cowes crowded with people," Queen Victoria wrote on 5 Au- gust 1893, "Dear Georgie and May had vy pretty and hearty reception on Monday Evg.--Sail- ..ors fm Trinity Pier almost -- up the: Hills to the Lodge & our Tenants inside the grounds, .." This reception at Cowes was Princess May's first taste of the kind of public life she would now constantly be leading as Duchess of York. All the ships in Cowes roads were jaunty with flags in honour of the newly wedded pair. Travelling down from London with a equerry and a lady-in-waiting, the Yorks had been met at Portsmouth station by. the Duke of Connaught and by Lord Clanwilliam, They cross- ed to the Isle of Wight in the Alberta and were ceremonially welcomed ashore at Trinity Pier by the Prince of Wales, his nephew the Emperor of Ger- many, and other royalties. A car- riage with four horses took them swiftly up the decorated road to Osborne House, where they were received at the entrance by the Queen herself, attended by Prin- cess Louise, the Duchess of Ar- + gyll, the Duchess of Connaught, Princess Victoria of Scheleswig- Holstein, and "the little Con- naughts & Bats." "After a short talk," Princess May wrote to her mother, "we were shown our rooms down- stairs, under those we had last year, & opening on to the pretty terrace: We each have a sitting & dressing room -- After tea I drove with Grandmama in the grounds, this place is looking quite lovely, so fresh & green, & I am quite in love with it. It was a: perfect evening , . ." During these two weeks at Os- borne in August 1893 Queen Vie- toria deliberately made a great "fuss of the young Duchess of York, thrusting her to the fore and implicitly indicating to her what her' position now meant. The Queen's daughters were in- structed to follow the same course, "All the Aunts push me on & make such a fuss about me 'while I laugh in my sleeve & say to myself 'Dear me how times have changed, 'tis a funny World' -- Well one lives & learns " Princess May confided to her mother.--From "Queen Mary," by James Pope-Hennes- sY. ' Claim "Rock 'n' Roll Curbs Crime! The tide is turning! At last, responsible authorities are com- ing to the conclusion that teen- ager and rock 'n' roll are not so -bad as they've been painted. Far far too long rock 'n' roll- hs been blamed for all manner of teenage crimes, says the 'Me- dical Press.' But maybe the re- verse is the case, it points, out. "By affording a relatively harmless way of getting rid of surplus physical energy, dancing may be said to conduce to lawful and respectable behaviour," says the editorial. Rhythm is natural to the hu- man being, even before birth, a noted Dutch psychiatrist, Dr. Joost Meerloo, is quoted as say- ing. The child "hear" its mother's heart beating -- at eighty to the minute -- in a syncopated two- to-one harmony with its own -- at 160 to the minute. The doctor explains that epi- demics of dancing have broken out Yollowing wars and cata- clysms, right through history. * Aftér the Black Death, for in- stance, came the historic epi- demic of St. Vitus dance. Aftes the second world war came rock 'n' roll. Epidemics of danc- ing were also noted in connec. tion with the Crusades. The man who stands up foe _ teenagers is Mr. Anthony Green- wood, M.P. A Saying that the problem of juvenile delinquency must be kept in perspective, he points out that there is a disturbing increase in some forms of juven- ile crime, but not in all. There might be an increase-in drunkenness, but the figure be- 'came infinitesimal when we realized that there were four million teénagers in this country. "When we remémber the world in which they were con- ceived and reared, with its in- security and violence, it is re- markable that it's not larger than it is," he goes on.
