Many of the public's misconceptions,
il must be admitted, are Elizabeth's own
fault. She fiaunts her reckless and defiant
feelings, and deliberately = out of def

she is more flip and foolish than she
actually is.
A Cultivated WiggIe
She faces press and magazine inter-
viewers with deliberately blank look,
answers questions in a cultivated silly
girl fashion. Her outrageous wiggle when
she walks is also cultivated. Sheer def
ance.

herself ball, " said this mother of two to

mother the press was fooled for while
into believing - you might say she is

over and playing with her dolls. But she
is certainly devoted TO her children =

capable Of putting in half-dozen long
