gians are fond of England, and, as
Prince and Princess Albert of Fland-
ers, they apparently used to enjoy
nothing more than to cross over from
Ostend and spend few days in quite
informal fashion. Then they would be
seen shopping in Bond street and
Piccadilly and even enjoying a play
from the stalls of one or other of the
West End theatres. Queen Elizabeth,
who is qualified M. D., has done
much to alleviate suffering among the
