The Princess Troubetzkoy came
back the first of the week from
summer in the Laurentian High
lands and almost as soon as she
arrived she received word that her
brother in law, Prince Nicholas
Troubetzkoy and the Princess were
coming from Paris to be the guests
at the Troubetzkoy home in Friend
ship Heights for several weeks. The
date of their arrival is still a little
uncertain-they will probably be
here sometime in October-but al
ready several parties have been
planned for them during their visit.
And, by the way, If you don't know
the Laurentian Highland country,
good way to hear about it is from
the Princess or from two of her
three children, Mary and Alexis.
The youngest child, Elizabeth, .is
still baby and is too young to care
where she spends her vacations
/ The Princess has been taking her
children to the Highlands for their
vacation over period of several
years. Their summer home is
farm of about 100 acres on Lake
Labelle and the entire Troubetzkoy
family has learned to love the rocky
upland country with its long sum-
mer days and cool nights.
With the exception of short visit
with friends in Maine the Princess
and her family spent the summer
quietly, their only guest being the
Princess mother, Princess Obolen-
sky of New York who spent few
days with them.
