PRINCESS ELIZABETH
IDOL OF THE NATION.
CHARM AND SIMPLICITY.
London, Oct. 18.
"I do not think any . child'could bo more sensibly brought up. She leads such a simple life, and is always punished when naughty,” is the Queen’s, tribute to Princess-Elizabeth’s upbringing. , In “The Authorised'Story of Princess Elizabeth,” by Anne King, the authoress says the little Princess is nearly always good and thoughtful of others. She adores games of make believe and knows nothing of herself as the nation’s idol, remaining a little girl who loves playing. with her baby sister. She is passionately fond of her parents, and, when she plays cards with her grandmother, cries excitedly, “Oh, Grannie, you mustn’t win. You mustn’t!” A story linking the Princess with her Bister, Margaret Rose, concerns Elizabeth telling a visitor, “I’ve got a baby sister and I’m going to call her ‘Bud.’” The Duchess interposed: “But why ‘Bud?’ I don’t, like that.” Elizabeth replied, “Well, she isn’t a real rose, yet. fihe’s only a bud.”
