Royal advisers were startled when they heard that Princess Marie Louise, Queen Victoria‘s grand.daughter, was writing her memoirs. She has been behind the scenes at four coronations and forty royal weddings Now in her eightyâ€"fourth year, she can saltily recall all the royal family crises of her amazing life. time. Yet ber secrets have never been told. Only a cad would taunt the girl he married with the past she confessed. As his wife she deserves his protection, even from himself. Anne Hirst can help you handle this ~situation as well as other painful ones, if you write her at Box 1, 123 Eighâ€" teenth St.. New Toronto, Ont. Few people realized, for inâ€" stance, through all the years that barred divorcees from the Royal Enclosure atâ€"Ascot, that there had been a divorce in the royal family itself. .# No other royal princess lives in a flat. To be sure. it is a grace and favour residence, the lavishâ€" ly equipped fourteenâ€"room flat in Curzon Street which was inâ€" tended as George VI‘s HQ. if Buckingham Palace had been wrecked in war.time. But hideâ€" bound aristocrats still frown at the thought of the daughter of Queen Victoria‘s third daughter looking down on the cafés and oyster bars. The divorced, both guilty and innocent, were rigidly excluded from Court. Yet Princess Marie Louise sometimes appeared smilâ€" ing on the balcony at Bucking: ham Palaceâ€"and staid chamberâ€" lains had to admit that Court rules need not apply to near relatives of the Blood. Though divorce meant social ostracism, they inevitably had to make Princess Marie Louise an exception. So she continued to zo to Ascot ang stroll in the Royal Enclosure wheurver she felt like it. In 1891, when she was a girl of nineteen, â€" Princess â€" Marie Louise occupied much the same position in royal popularity as the nineteenâ€"yearâ€"old Prineess Alexandra does today. When her engagement was announced to Prince Joseph of Anhalt, one of the richest duchies in Germany, public opinion rejoiced. After nine years of unhappiâ€" ness and heartbreak the marâ€" riage was dissolved. Quietly the Princess returned to England and began devoting her life to helping others. Even now, at eighty.three, she works with amazing vitality for dozens of organizations ranging from dis trict nursing to the Docklands Settlement. Royal guests from all nations flocked to the wedding in St George‘s Chapel, Windsor. But the last echoes of the wedding bells had scarcely died away when the Princess endured deep humiliation. wastes. That‘s the time to take Dodd‘s Kidney Pills.

Mrs. Claude McFaddin, Long Beach, shows samples of some 220.0°0 she found on a city dump. She acquired the lot, junked by a card firm to make room for new lines, for $25â€"about 10 cents per thousand. Below, designer Alice Daly displays a greeting that‘s almost priceless in a difâ€" ferent sense of the word. Tree, fashioned of snowâ€"white mink, is studded and bordered with pearls and precious stones. It‘s valued at $25,000. She sells color reproductions‘of such glitâ€" tering greetings to the Christâ€" mas trade. nothing if not unconventional. It was shocking when she danced the lancers with a‘ pearly king at Hoxton Carnival thirty years agoâ€"and just as shocking to some when she accepted an inâ€" vitation to a Coronation tea with the same pearly king in 1937. She was the first princess of the blood royal to smoke in pubâ€" lic,â€"the first to join a women‘s club, the first to fly in an airâ€" craft. Early this year her.doctor deâ€" creed a rest cure.. Whereupon the Princess murmured that a change was as good as a rest and went off on a startling exâ€" pedition through central Africa, travelling 2,500 miles, wearing breeches and _ living _ under canvas. â€" It seemed to be something of a record when, at the age of eightyâ€"two, she flew over Vicâ€" toria Falls But the Princess fiw over the same Falls thirty years ago in ‘planes that un doubtedly looked â€"and feltâ€" much more hazardous. All her expenses, incidentally, are always met from her own purse, for the Princess has never ‘enjoyed any provision from the "Don‘t you ever want to go to bed early?" a friend once asked this intrepid lady. "Never !" she firmly replied. But in one of her straight. forward speeches she confessed, "I‘ve lived a very long life. You all know my age. I have far exâ€" ceeded my span of three score years and ten. But presentâ€"day youthâ€"so gallant, so valiant is the way they cope with the difâ€" ficulties and problems of everyâ€" day life. It makes me sad when I look back on my youth when we seemed so safe and secure. The First Lord of the Adâ€" miralty undertook to repair the omission. Within a short time the Princess travelled down to Portsmouth and launched a deâ€" stroyer. Then, almost in the same week, there were dinners, a ball at Claridges, a calypso ball at the May Fair, speeches for the National Polio Research Fund. And besides this, the Princess gave a sherry party. "Blow ‘in for a sherry," she informally inâ€" vited her friends. civil list. No doubt she owns a considerable fortune. (Her kinsâ€" woman, Princess Victoria, left a quarter mmillion some years ago.) She is the fortunate possessor of the world‘s first pink mink coat. On gala occasions, when a diaâ€" mond tiara glistens above her grey curls and she wears her famous rope of pearls, no one looks more royal. By virtue of years, indeed, she is now Britain‘s senior prinâ€" cess. She is also the oldest otf Victoria‘s six surviving grandâ€" daughters. Incessantly she works hard at the tasks of royal traâ€" ditions, demanding homage not for herself but for the idea. It caused all the greater flurry in official dovecotes not long ago when she mentioned that one royal duty had never come her way, and added that she had never launched anythingâ€" "not even a dinghy."

Straw Hat Making By Hand in Sweden A path that was slippery with pine needles led to the glade in which the little old woman‘s little red cottage stood. It was like the beginning of a bedtime fairy tale. Round the cottage grew glaring red peonies, deep blue aquilegias and that grace> ful flower we call "lieutenant‘s heart"; the grass was still fresh with dew. . . . It was, in fact, just such a picture as you would expect to find on any wooded slope‘ in Central Sweden. The little old woman who lived there was called Majaâ€" Lena; her surname did not matâ€" ter, for as Majaâ€"Lena she was known throughout the parish and a good bit beyond as well She had just one room, enough, she thought, for her simple needs. The furniture was of the simplest, yet on the walls hung certain pictures which showed that she was not a complete stayâ€"atâ€"home, but had seen a little of the outside world. White hair, combed smooth, neatly parted in the center and fastened tight in a bun at the Her fingers were fluttering as quickly as a lark‘s wings and it was all the eye could do to follow her movements.~ Beside her lay a bundle of straws, from which at regular intervals she would take two or ‘three, and before you knew what was hapâ€" pening they had been turned into part of a long plait that coiled out across the â€" floor.

Found Fortune Under A Cabbage Under a large cabbage leaf a woman or eightyâ€"eight recently found her share in a fortune. On a crumpled sheet of newsâ€" paper used for wrapping the cabbage she read that a patrioâ€" tic fund was still distributing $95,000 a year to the dependâ€" ants of men who had fought in the Crimea and other old wars. It was news to her, so she wrote to the fund pointing out she was the daughter of a Criâ€" mean veteran. The War Office hunted among faded papers unâ€" til it found her father‘s Army record and verified her claim. Now she is drawing a pension. So are 1,300 other dependants of the soldiers of â€" longâ€"past wars, some of them dating back to the Indian Mutiny. Strangely enough, payments are still being madefrom a fund raised for a coalâ€"mining disaster ninety years ago. The other day a ninetyâ€"cightâ€"yearâ€" old woman died in Philadelphia whose husband had been torn from her arms in the Titanic disaster. That leaves fewer wiâ€" dows to pay and so the relief funds have now been revalued to give every Titanic widow at least $12 weekly. There‘s a pleasant surprise looming,, too, for . folk whose parents or grandparents traded with Russia back in the days of the Tsar. After the Soviet revoâ€" lution, millions of pounds of Russian money were left lying in the vaults of a London firm of bankers. The Soviets could not claim the hoard and a string of court cases did not solve the probâ€" lem. Meanwhile, with interest. the total sum amounts to $180,â€" 000,000 and has become the bigâ€" gest private hoard in Britain. Soon, however, a shareout of the funds of the old Russoâ€"Asiaâ€" tic Bank is to begin and finanâ€" ciers believe this will lead to a release of all the roubles. Canadian fur goods manufac turers shipped 220.717 ladies fur coats in 1953. some 1,260 fewer than in 1952 The average value was $228 or $1 less than in the preceding year.

SALLYS SALLIES unhurt, after disappearing from home and spending three nights on Salisbury Plain, it caused®a ndtional sensation in Britain. Understandable. Yet, as any parent will tell you, children do the most amazing things, run risks which would give their elders a heart attack, and yet somehow escape unscathed. Take the case of the kiddy who had a passion for trains. He would spend every spare moment watching what he obâ€" viously considered to be fasciâ€" nating but harmless monsters. One day he became more ven. turesome. He wandered on to the track just as a train was about to leave Blackburn for Southport. > Fortunately he was spotted by the engineâ€"driver. Frantically, the man sprinted a couple <of hundred yards‘ along the line. It was a near thing. As he snatched the youngster to safety an exâ€" press train roared byâ€"on the lines where the kiddy had been playing. An equally adventurous spirit was displayed by a couple of lads who played truant from a home in Croydon and took refâ€" uge in a school of all places. But they didn‘t go there to learn. Instead they hid beneath the platformâ€"used by a teacher, And, almost unbelievably, they stayed there for six days. high, but it provided plenty of floor space. At any rate the boys, aged eleven and thirteen, made themselves comfortable. How about exercise? Here again the answer was easy. After all, schools are open for only a certain number of hours a day. The lads slipped out at the appropriate moments during the morning and at nights. When everything was quiet, they "borrowed" an electric fire from the building and plugged it in. They did the same with a radio Bedding didn‘t stump them, either. Odd clothes left about the school made a good substitute for blankets. And, when the teachers and pupils had departed, they cooked themselves wonderful meals of fried bread and eggs scrounged from the kitchen. Even more enterprisingâ€"and on a very different planeâ€"is the Swiss girl of seven who wrote a book for children. It was published recently and sold 15,000 copies in a fortnight. Now she is writing another. And for courage, many chilâ€" dren put grownâ€"ups to shame. Imagine yourself, if you can, in the position of little Jean Dawâ€" son. She was ten. Her bungalow in Kenya was attacked by Mau Mau terrorists. One of the deâ€" fenders was wounded. Jean tended him while the crack of her father‘s rifle echoed in her ears. But the little girl did far more than that. She telephoned the police, listened carefully to their instructions on the best method of holding off the gang, and lucidly and calmly passed on ‘Their lives depend on me." Fire, when it runs riot, proâ€" vides perhaps the most terrify. ing ordeal. Yet when a Clapham girl of seven awoke and found her bedroom full of smoke, she remained perfectly calm. "My father and mother, my sister, my little brother," she thought. ‘Their lives depend on me." Not so. happy was the outâ€" come of another case, but it does prove that children, often overcome their natural fear of fire. In Bromley, Kent, the dress of a little girl caught alight. Her brother, only eight, tried to smother the flames with a cloth and then squirted water on her from the kitchen tap. She was severely burned; but nothing can detract from the lad‘s courâ€" age and initiative. And so she hastened to the bedrooms where the rest of the family were sleeping. Thanks to her coolness they escaped inâ€" jury. One evening an elevenâ€"yearâ€" old Londoner was afraid to go home. His clothes were covered with soot and he feared that his father would be angry. He needn‘t have worriedâ€"for he was really a hero. Here is what happened. Going along a street earlier in the eveâ€" ning he had seen an old woman rush from a house. She was screaming for help, for the building was ablaze. Without the slightest hesitation the lad fought his way up the stairs through clouds of billowing smoke. Entering a room, he found a crippled woman of seventyâ€" seven, She was almost enveloped in flames, a ghastly sight. But the boy kept his head. He threw a pail of water over the victim, When threeâ€"yearâ€"old Johnny Their refuge was a mere foot CIGARETTE TOBACCO along, dragged the poor creature to safety. Fires, in fact, seem to have less terror for children than they do for adults. But this sometimes leads to tragedy. ith the help of another‘~ ::-.n:_'bo providentially came Escaping from the flames when her house caught alight a little girl of five tore herself from the hands of her mother and rushed back into the blazing inferno. She remembered that a dog was there. But her effort was in vain. They found the two paâ€" thetic bodies later, the child lying beside her little dog for whom she had given her life. Surprisingly enough, children sometimes show a high sense of responsibility, especially if a task interests them. Some years ago a new school was proposed in Northern Rho. desia, but labour was scarce. Cheerfully, the boys and their masters set to work ‘and made bricks. They refused to accept a penny in payment. A small boy was standing in the middle of a busy road in Nottingham _ directing _ traffic. Held up by hisâ€"admonitory hand, cars and buses stretched in a long line. "I‘m a Sea Scout," he proudly told a spmewhat shaken policeâ€" man who rushed up to’graighten out the muddle. " scoutâ€" master says*‘ we should help people at zebra crossings." Children have a sense of huâ€" mour, too, and it is not necesâ€" sarily of the infantile variety. A traffic was erected in a New Mexico town. "School zone," it warned motorists. "Don‘t kill ‘a child." * _ But there was no zebra crossâ€" ing there ! This was too good an opporâ€" tunity to miss by the local youngsters. One of them added in juvenile scrawl ; "Wait for a teacher !" Even the parentsâ€"and the teachersâ€"smiled at that.
