Australian Toys Within the pink-walled nursery, with its white curtains and furni- ture, all is calm efficiency under the direction of Midwife Helen Maud Rowe, who will be staying at the Palace for at least a month. Sister Rowe is a certified midwife, and has specialized in maternity at the King's College Hospital, Den- mark-hill, known to Sir William Gilliatt, ob- stetrician to the Princess. Among former patients of Sister Rowe, is the Duchess of Kent, whom she attend- ed when Prince' Michael was born. Adjoining the nursery is a small room converted into a bathroom, where the baby's nappies will be changed, and the daily happy bath- ing ritual will take place. Nearby is the "surgery," which was formerly the "Palace first-aid room," instituted by Queen Mary, with its hygienic wall and floor surfaces, sterilizing apparatus and special lighting, Toys for the Prince have already | been sent to his parents' country home at Windlesham Moor, near Sunningdale, or to Sandringham. Apart from teddy bears, woolly lambs and other soft toys given hy friends and relatives, the toys in- clude many which belonged to the Princess and the Duke when they were young, and also a number giv- en to the King and Queen on their visit to Australia in 1927. = In a room adjoining the nursery at Buckingham Palace are gifts from personal friends and organiza- tions -- matinee jackets, bonnets, robes, shawls, rattles, and books on the upbringing of children. Princess Margaret has given a large leather photograph album to record her nephew's growing up. Queen Mary's numerous gifts are nearly all hand-made garments. These include a beautifully quilted white satin layette made by herself. She has also senf, for her great- grandson a Moses| cot nearly 50 years old, which was first made for Ie birth of the Duke of Glouces- er. Nannies The congratulations pouring in from all kinds of people from all parts of the world are being dealt with by Lady Mary Strachey, who has left her two small children at home in Somerset so as to be with her friend the Princess at this time. Lady Mary, who was the first lady-in-waiting to be appointed to the Princess, is the wife of Mr. An- thony Strachey, and is the third daughter of the Earl and Countess of Selborne. During the war Lady Mary, who is six years older than the Princess, wefked in a day nur- sery. As well as the official congratula- tions are those prayers of thankful- ness which have been lifted up from humble women's hearts all over the country. It was a tense Sunday, waiting hour by hour for a radio announcement of the baby's birth, and great was the excitement when the 'news ranged round the world: "It's a boy!" While we realize that for Princess Elizabeth there need be no labors of love such as nappie-washing, and no 'nerve-racking nights trying to prevent a Wailing baby from disturbing the peace of the sleep- ing landlady in, the flat below, we know that 'for her motherhood is going to be no-sinecure, but a voca- tion. The fact that sie has had the Wohin Mill Around Palace Gates Hoping to Glimpse the Baby Prince perambulator used for her childhood refurbished for her first baby unites her with all the anonymous young mothers who don't care for today's austerity prams, Her choice of nannies for the baby indicates her intention of bringing the baby 'Prince up naturally, en- compassed by 'the plain humanity of good women. Neither of the nan- nies is college-trained. Their chief qualifications are that they love children. Miss Helen Lightbody, who will take charge when Sister Rowe leaves the Palace, has for the past six years been responsible for the care > | of Prince William and Prince Rich- ard, the two sons of the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. Cinderella Story Miss Lightbody, the daughter of a tweed, mill-hand of Jedburgh, Scot- land, is 35, and has been looking af- ter children 'ever since she left Jed- burgh Grammar School at the age of 15. Her unique way with children was noticed by Princess Elizabeth when the Duke and Duchess of Glouces- ter were visiting Buckingham Pa- lace. > > Miss Lightbody's mother said o her daughter: "She is tremendous- ly proud to have been chosen by the London. She fs well | Princess. But what of the little Glouceste:x Princes They are certain to. weep many tears when their Nanny Lightbody goes to look after the new baby. 'Much interest has been aroused by the appointment of "Princess Elizabeth's second nurse, 22-year- old Miss Mabel Anderson, of An- derton, Longmore, Elgin, Scotland. Hers is a modern Cinderella story, for when Miss Anderson applied for a post from an Edinburgh agency she had no idea that she would be sent to Buckingham Palace for an interview. Miss Anderson was born in Bootle and is the daughter of tive late Po- lice Constable James Anderson, who was killed in the May, 1941 blitz when carrying out his duties as a member of the Bootle Police Force. After his death, Mrs. Anderson went to live in Scotland, where her daughter became nursemaid to a Scottish family. Another democratic touch which has pleased us is the way in which Princess Elizabeth made her old clothes do when waiting for her baby.

His Rations Like every other baby, the young Prince has his own ration book, en- titling his mother to draw eight ounces of sugar, eight ounces of but- | ter -and margarine, one ounce of | lard, two ounces of bacon, 1 1-2 ounces of cheese, and sixpennyworth of medt a week. Every month there can be bought on his behalf-<half a pound of mar= malade or preserves, one packet of dried ;egg. free of points, 12 ounces of sweets, and one bottle of orange | juice for 5d. As well he has 24 fed | points. -Every six weeks he will be | eligible for one bottle of cod liver | oil free. In respect of him the Princess, like all mothers, can also obtain 1 1-2d. a point instead of 4 1-2d. a every week seven pints of milk at pint, and a further five pints a week at the full price, as well as an oc- casional shell egg. Should she wish for dried milk, condensed milk or proprietary milk foods, these are obtainable in addi- tion to five pints of milk at full price each week. - Clothing Coupons For herself she is entitled to sev- en pints of milk a week, or 2 1-2 pints a week and a proportionate amount of dried milk. At present the Princess is feeding her baby herself. Clothing coupons will be allocat- ed to the Prince to cover the ra- tioning period ending February 28 next. He should receive 14. Before her baby's birth the Prin- cess, like all other expectant mothers, received 70 extra clothing coupons.

The direct line of that tinle ran from Henry II to Edward III, cover- ing a period of 179 years. Several dynasties have occupied the throne since the days of Wil- liam the Conqueror, but the chain of descent has not been broken. The House of Windsor descends from all the 11 families which have ruled since the ninth-centyry reign of King Egbert. From his. grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, the young Prince inherits royal associations in addition to those which come to him from his grandfather, George VI, and the family of his father, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
