AT BOGNOR
WIIAT PRINCESS ELIZABETH DID. Princess Elizabeth does not believe in being tied to her nannie’s apron-strings all day, and she is quite capable of playing by herself and amusing herself in her own way. But her nannie must have felt a moment’s pang iOf alarm one day when they were staying at Bognor during the King’s illness, says a writer. The princess was being taken for a walk on the sands, and they had just passed out of the gate on to the seawall when, with a word, she scampered off as fast as her little legs would carry her. She got a good start of her nurse, who rushed after the running princess. There was a mounted policeman in the distance on sentry duty outside Craigwell House, and the princess made straight for him and stopped in front of the horse, then she produced two or three lumps of sugar, which 1 she gleefully gave to the charger, and with a wave to the policeman tripped off to join her nurse.
