WOMEN IN PRINT PEOPLE IN THE LIMELIGHT A PRINCESS'S EDUCATION (FKOM oua own CORUESPOXDKNT.) LONDON, May 15. One can quite believe the published statement that the Duchess of York has been consulting with the Queen on the subject of the education of Princess Elizabeth, for it will soon be desirable for her to have a companiongoverness, as it has been definitely decided that she is not to go to school. The chief reason for this, says a writer in the "Sunday Dispatch, is that the education of a Princess natuially demands many special studies not included in any curriculum. *re necessarily very personal and individual For instance, Princess Elizabeth' must learn all the debate intricacies of Court etiquette and diplomatic convention. Ordinary school tutors would consequently not be qualified to direct her. At present Princess Elizabeth is. third in the line of succession to the Throne. If she continues to occupy this position, she will have to extend the scope of her training to include numerous subjects on which the potential ruler of a great Empire must be well informed. Only in a Royal home can such expert guidance be afforded her It is very improbable that Princcess Elizabeth will ever go to a university, but the possibility cannot be entirely ruled out. There are 10 years to pass before this question is definitely settled. The Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg is on a visit to London with the Prince Consort and her little 12-vear-old daughter. Princess Elizabeth. Prince Jean, the heir-apparent, is being educated in England at Ampleforth, the Roman Catholic public school in the north. The war, one is reminded, put Grand Duchess Charlotte on the throne of this little state. In 1914 the neutrality of Luxembourg, like that of Belgium, was violated by the Germans; but, unlike Belgium, she was unable to offer resistance; her army was less than 300 strong. As soon as the war was over Marie Adelaide, then Grand Duchess, was compelled to abdicate in favour of her sister. She was accused of being pro-German—-though it was no fault of hers that Germany had occupied her state. Marie Adelaide, clad in a simple black dress, left for ever her ducal throne for a convent cell with the Carmelites in Italy. She died just 10 years ago. under 30 years of age. The Grand Duchess Charlotte married Prince Felix of Bourbon Parma, brother of the former Empress Zita of Austria. Her other titles are: Duchess of Nassau, Countess Palatine of the Rhine, Countess of Sayn, Konigstein, Katzenelnbogen and Dietz, Lady of Mahlberg, Wiesbade, Idstein, Marenberg, Limbourg, and Eppstein.
