JOLLIEST FOR YEARS
ROYALTY’S CHRISTMAS
A FAMILY GATHERING
LONDON, Dec. 22,
Their Majesties’ Christmas will be the j oiliest for many years, owing to the presence of more young people than formerly, making an unusually large Royal party at Sandringham, where Their Majesties went on Saturday, taking Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret. The Queen, as usual, almost daily visited numerous establishments and made 800 Christmas purchases, many for children. The Duke of Kent will arrive during the week-end, and will show his bride the beauties of Their Majesties’ country home. The Prince of Wales is expected to arrive by air on Christmas eve. Greetings are being exchanged with the Duke of Gloucester after the King’s broadcast from the library. A giant Christmas tree in the ballroom will be illuminated with thousands of fairy lights, and Their Majesties will distribute presents from the crowded branches to the domestic staff, and the estate workers and their families.
