REARED TO BE QUEEN
SINCE BABYHOOD

II there was q single home in dis
play a picture of the princess before
this week, the deficiency Is probably
being remedied by hurried trip to
the store today. Princess Elizabeth
has faced the camera scarcely less
often than the childhood idol OF
America.
Her first tooth, her first strug-
glings with baby speech, her flrst
Ineligible word, her first pony, her
first party dress Of white chiffon
over pink satin, her toys, her play
things, her dogs, her nursery, her
clothes since she began growing
up." all these things have been re-
layed to an avid British public
since that day of her birth 10 years
ago.
BY chance or premonition, the
Princess Elizabeth has been reared
from the very moment Of her birth
as a potential reigning queen. Had
her succession been certain, no step
in her upbringing would have been
different.
WHEN IN LONDON
SHE'S SHOWN DAILY
From that birth moment, the
white light Of publicity has played
constantly about the fair golden
hair of the princess. Therein she Is
different from her illustrious name
sake Queen Elizabeth, and even
from the great Victoria. Nobody
thought they were going to be
queens, and their childhood was
quite obscure.
But on the day Of her christening,
Princess Elizabeth was carried out
on a balcony for adoring crowds to
see. Since then, whenever she was
