ONE WAY OF SAYING IT

A visiting pastor was enjoying a
round of golf with his host when a
great calamity befell him. Taking a
mighty swing he missed the little
white object completely.
"Oh, Muscle Shoals" exclaimed the
dominic.
Mystifed, his companion asked ex-
planation of the expression.
81 mean the biggest dam on earth,"
replied the minister.
Teacher: 81 see you are early Of
late"
Billy: 81 was behind, before"
Teacher: "Now you're first at last!"

Evening star., 1941-01-26

By JACK CULMER,
Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND
On this much-attacked island the
only children of King George and
Queen Elizabeth are living wartime
lives today which are designed as
patterns for the great mass of chill
dren caught in the war.
That explanation is given for the
fact that the princesses-14-year-
old Elizabeth and 10-year- old Mar
garet Rose-spent the first four
months of the war hidden like babes
IN the wood in small granite house
in lonely Scottish glen.
Since January, 1910, they have
been living somewhere in the south
of England and they are still "evac-
uees' in this reputedly safe" area.
Also since the time they moved
back to England the movements of
the princesses have been chronicled
at least a day late or more even
when newspapers have frequently
n
ing or playing in the Windsor Castle
area about 20 miles west of London.
The two little girls were first told
about the war in November, 1899,
when Queen Elizabeth journed to
Scotland to see them. And now they
are deep in many wartime activities
and the British press announces at
frequent intervals the part they are
playing to aid various welfare Or
CARNATIONS.
Yule Quietest They've Had.
But the British picture has
changed considerably even for Eliza
beth and Margaret Rose in II
months. On Christmas, 1899, they
sent gifts-it was Elizabeth's idea
to Nine. Albert Lebrun for French
children evacuated from Paris and
other cities to the French country
side. They didn't repeat the gifts
last year nor did they follow the
1889 practice of coming to London
for their Christmas shopping.
The royal Christmas in 1910 was
the quietest Yuletide party the
princesses had ever had and was
spent at Windsor instead of at the
usual celebration setting, at Sand
ringham House, King Georges home
in Norfolk. The only guests were
the Duke and Duchess of Kent and
their two children. They had
smaller Christmas tree than usual
and although the children ex-
changed presents, the adults con.
fined their present giving to token
gifts"
One day during Christmas week
Princess Elizabeth played the Ma
donna and Princess Margaret Rose
played an angel in an ancient ma
tivity play which was given in the
village hall with working class Lon
don evacuees completing the cast.
The Queen looked as proud as
any of us when her daughter got
through her part without one mis-
take" one London East Side (tene-
ment neighborhoo0 parent COM
n1ented. o..
Join in Village Concert.
However, this wasn't the prin-
cesses' first experiment in amateur
theatricals. In July, 1910, they tap
danced, sang, recited and played
the piano in village concert which
Queen Elizabeth herself organized
to aid war charities.
Both princesses played in a ballet
number based on "An Apple for the
Teacher" and the Queen was so
pleased that she ordered a repeat
command performance"
Earlier in the same month there
was a rumor that the princesses
had gone or we're going to Canada
or the United States. But this was
officially denied and the Kings
view was reported as I'VE prefer to
share whatever family perils there
may be with parents in this coun-
&~s~x "

vasion failed to shift the Kings at
titude despite pressure from in
f1uential quarters"
One newspaper coupled the denial
with criticisms of the general
exodus of children of cabinet min
listers and wealthy aristocrats."
The princesses participate in the
activities Of Girl Scout troop and
Elizabeth, who is a section leader,
once invited II girls-all from the
London slum area of Stepney -
along to tea. Their guests romped
with Dookie and Jane, their two
pet Welsh Corgis and looked over
the miniature house the people of
Wales gave Elizabeth as a present
on her eighth birthday.
Tea Impressed Rosie Turner.
Rosie Turner, 12-year boiler
makers daughter was apparently
most impressed by the liveried foot
men who served them tea, for she
hesitated to take a cup, saying,
I'm more used to running errands
Tor other people.
Elizabeth's most dramatic ex-
perience in 1910 was the broad
cast she made in November from
an underground studio In the
country to British children.
II can truthfully say to you,"
she said that all we children at
home are full of cheerfulness and
courage
The press unanimously lauded
the broadcast and called her radio
voice a lighter, higher edition of
the Queens"
Elizabeth is now busy on 1941
diary, the fifth she has kept since
the King started the habit by
giving her a first diary bound in
blue leather. Many of the entries
are illustrated with her own pen
and pencil drawings.
The diary keeping is part of the
strict, personal training and do
mestic discipline for the heir pre-
sumptive which the war has not
been allowed to interrupt.
Study Schedule Is Heavy.
The girls are studying history,
! foreign relations, cooking, sewing,
singing, piano and Languages.
Before the war they studied Ger
man, but that has now been re-
placed by Spanish. Margaret Rose,
the younger, is also studying cook
ing and several of her mince pies
have been "set before the King"
Most Of the girls spare time
these days is spent in knitting
scarves and sweaters for sailors,
soldiers and airmen.
The war hasn't stopped Eliza
beth's favorite hobby of home movies
and she made many pictures of her
father, mother and sister riding and
walking when Margaret Roses tenth
birthday was celebrated last August.
The reports of last year that Eliz-
abeth would be appointed honorary
colonel Of a British regiment and
also would be given some honorary
naval rank weren't confirmed, al
though a customary wartime meas
ure is to link the heir to the throne
with the fighting services.
Some of the Princesses' war work
is being done as Girl Scouts and
Margaret was the first contributor
to Y. M. c. A. fund to buy mobile
canteens and recreation huts. And
both girls headed war savings
drive. Elizabeth bought the first
five pound sterling ($20 defense
bond and Margaret Rose bought the
first of new issue of war savings
certificates.
The Princesses have never reveal
ed what reply they sent to an un-
identified 11-year r-old Reading, Pa,
girl named Elizabeth who sent one
