PRINCESS NARY
 NAY CET SEAT IN
 HOUSE QF L0RDS

LONDON, Apr 2S-Though Princess Mary will never rule the British En- pire because of her marriage out of royalty, she may have seat in the House of Lords.
 The decision of the privileges com mittee of the House of Lords to grant seat to Lady Rhondda has led to consideration of the possibility of the Princess ascending to seat in that dignified legislative body.
 King George is expected sooner or later to bestow peerage upon Princess Mary in her own right, as he has given peerage to his sons. With such a peerage the Princess would be entitl- ed to seat in Lords. Whether she would care to occupy this seat is quite another matter This English girl who has been for the past three months the toast of London, is of shy and retiring nature. Like her mother, the queen she cannot be described as a pro gressive in this day when some of the women of England are affecting canes monocles and cigarettes.

after paying tribute TO the unknown
soldier, went 70 the Wilson home and
