KINO UNDER A SOFA
THE YOUNG PRINCESSES
The large Court of Princess Elizabeth holds no more devoted slave than, the King, writes Lady Cynthia Asquith in her book, entitled "The Married Life of the Duchess of York" (according to a London message). Among other liberties, says the writer, the Princess has been known to sweep all the King's food off his plate to give it to her little dog. Grandfather and granddaughter are boon companions. Once, when the King was discovered flat on the floor under a sofa, his Majesty explained: "We are looking for Lilibet's hairslide." Princess Elizabeth is not allowed to feel the burden of Royalty. She thinks the cheers she receives are the greetings ' naturally given to little girls. The Princess's most perfect playmate is her younger, sister, Princess Margaret, who already shows promise of character and charm. Princess Margaret possesses a remarkable talent for mimicry. She loves music and has a faultless ear. When she was only 11 months old she amazed Lady Strathmore, the Duchess's mother, by humming the "Merry Widow" waltz. At the age of two she could sing perfectly any song she heard.
