'Stirs Wonder on Her SMOKING

The Buckingham Palace press
officer hedged, too. but Francis J.
Phillips. organizing secretary of
the National Society of Nom
Smokers, accepted the ash tray
as evidence and said he was very
sorry about it.
1--WE thought we had both the
princess and her husband Philip
down safely in our books as non
smokers" he told a reporter.
THE society isn't down-hearted.
of course, we just have to work
harder"
Nobody else in the royal family
is known to smoke much.
Impish Princess Margaret has
been known to take a puff now
and then-but just for a lark, ="
he said. He said he just didn't
know about Princess Elizabeth.

LONDON, Oct. 28.-Princess
Elizabeth is mighty proper out in
public-but is she a secret ciga-
rette smoker?
Those who frown on the nico-
tine habit began to wonder today,
for newspapers published a pic
ture of her private desk and on it
was, unmistakably, an ash tray.
1t caused some alarm among
the anti-smoking set, and it got
to be the topic of the day in some
sewing circles.
The princess, part Of whose job
is to be held up as a model for
young folk. has never been caught
with a cigarette in public, or even
at the semi-private functions at
which, as some think, a young
matron might properly light up.
so does the princess smoke?"
Lord Beaverbrook' Daily Express
headlined its set of the pictures.
It left the. question dangling.
