TWO PRINCESSES.

WORK AND PLAY AT THE PALACE Between garden parties, Buckingham Palace grounds - have become a picknicking place, and beside the tall rushes of the lake, secluded in the heart of London, the Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret Rose, not content

with their week-end picnics at Windsor, keep up the practice, says a recent London cable published in the Sydney Sun, Prince Edward, the young son of the Duke of Kent, is often taken to the grounds to join the princesses.

j In the schoolroom on the second floor of the Palace, the Princesses follow a strict and carefully arranged course of J study. Their Majesties are anxious that the Princesses should be brought up as as possible on normal lines, although already public engagements occur with increasing frequency, especi- | ally for Princess Elizabeth, j Days off, on which they attend functions, which recently included the horse show' and charity dancing matinees, are followed by closer study to make up for the time lost. Miss Crawi ford, who has been governess to Prin cess Elizabeth for several years, is in ! general charge of the education. There are also visiting teachers for French, music and dancing. The lessons begin early and there is a break in the middle of the morning. ! After lunch lessons are resumed in the gardens on .sunny days. One morning each week the Princesses have swimming lessons at the Bath Club. Both are progressing well. - ■ ' ,
