(~ THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1950 fHE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE ~AGE NINC a -------- In The Home ~. OF INTEREST TO WOMEN -~ Elizabeth Had Many Heartaches Awaiting Royal Consent to Marriage Princess Elizabeth's life was one] of embarrassment and heartache | while her parents hesitated to con- | sent to her marriage to Prince Philip, Marion Crawford, the royal | governess, reveals in the July Ladies' Home Journal. Elizabeth had made up her mind long before. | She now had to wait for the con- | sent while the world watched and | gossiped. | "Some of the King's advisers did | not think him (Philip) good enough for her," Miss Crawford says. "He was a prince without home or kingdom. Some of the papers play- ed long and loud tunes on the string of Philip's foreign origin. There must hav: been for Lilibet in those autumn days, that should have been such happy ones for her, plenty of doubts, plenty of em- barrassments, uncertainties and heartaches. Her own mind never wavered for an instant. It was solidly made up . . . "I think what it really amounted to was that neither the King nor the Queen could make up their minds what was best for their very dear daughter, and so post- poned decision." ! During this time Lilibet led = | remarkably quiet life compared | with that of her sister Margaret today. She went to an occasional dance or play with some young of- ficer from the garrison or with per- sonal friends of the family. Although popular in the palace, the casual Prince Philip had some unconventional habits which. ar: recalled. "Philip's favorite kit was flannel trouser (not always very new or creased) and a tennis shirt with open neck, and often rolled-up sleeves. Hatless he would arrive, driving his own small sports car, always in a hurry to see Lilibet. Driving his own sports car a great deal too fast." .The latter habit disturbed offi- cials of the household considerably. particularly on one occasion when Philip was driving with Lilibet and there was a slight mix-up with a taxicab. Princess Elizabeth, in dis- tress, rushed to her governess af- terwards and pleaded, "Oh, Crawfie, how am I to make { mummie and papa realize that this | time it really wasn't Phillip's fault It was the taxi. They will never be- lieve it." Another side to the problem was the reluctance of the palace chauf- feurs to have Philip take out any of their beautifully kept cars, which might be returned to them with unsightly dents and buckled fen- ders. é Odd Wedding Gift When the flood of wedding gifts began to arrive, Elizabeth was be- wildered by the magnificence and the quantity from all parts of the world. She had been simply brougit up, and her idea of a birthday or Christmas present had been a Viec- torian posy, a china ornament or a needle book which she herself might have made. But some of the parcels were .:- tonishing.

Hitherto, they have been grateful | for whatever they could get. But | now, reports the Russian family | magazine "Ogonyok," al that 'is changed. "Today," Ogonyok says, "it is not at all unusual to hear questions like these in the shops: "Have you any | shoes in yet? | "Please show me some other jack- | ets. | "Have you no other colors?" | Flowered silk fabrics are the Rus- sian woman's first choice this sum- mer.

White gloves go to work in the morning, to lunch- eon, tea and cocktails in the after- noon, to dinner, movies, theatre in evening. And demurely to church on Sunday. Always they Yes, white gloves are important in the fashion picture. But white gloves get dirty fast -- and they don't look smart that way. To keep your gloves snowy white, wash them as soon as you take them off. Then you won't have a pile of soiled gloves -- and nary a presentable pair to wear on that important occasion. For quick, easy washing, work up a thick suds with a mild soap, or a special detergent. Keep your | gloves on. while you wash them -- | they'll keep their shape better, and | youll be able to see the dirt more] easily, Seams and fingertips get | especially dirty, so scrub them with | a soft brush, Wash just as though | you were washing your hands.

And finally, remove the 'gloves -- carefully, so they'll hoid their shape -- and place them flat | on a towel. Blot or wring out any excess moisture, then re-shape to size, and dry them flat. | Usually, your gloves will dry] smoothly, but if you're really fasti- | dious, you may press the gauntlet] or cuff just before it's dry. And re- member, warm irons prevent | scorches! ] Of course, if you own nylon| gloves, you can forget about the ironing altogether. Because wonder- water fast, dries quickly, smoothly size, with never a wrinkle to show for its tubbing. is narrow by western standards. Ogonyok says that only 12 pat- terns for summer dress materials have been passed by the Ministry floral or popular motifs." ; The "red rese" factories in Mos- cow and Leningrad are turning out of thousands" of metres "By special request of women cli- ents," the factories also are produc- ing a new type of silk for trim- mings. Russian men and women also wider range of choice in coats, blouses, shirts, pyjamas and Leningrad Knitted Wear has produced 150 new models of these garments. The bathing costumes are made of brightly-colored, shrink-proof knit- ted wool. "These Leningrad models are so populis," Ogonyok reports, "that the factory's name and address -- Nevsky 12 -- have become house- hold words with citizens living miles from the city." The Factory Dainty Crocheted Sacque It's a good thing babies come in such small sizes, they need so many changes of clothes. You can make a little sacque like the one pictured here, in a few evenings and what fun you'll have crocheting it. It is made of pastel-colored | pearl cotton, with a lacy edging of another shade and is finished with a dainty satin bow at the neck. If you would like directions for making this CROCHETED SACQUE, send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to the Needlework Dept ot this paper and ask for LEAFLET No, 5343, White Eggs Plentiful Homemakers Turn Talents to Angel Food Cakes A carton of eggs is always a good start toward a meal. There are so many ways in which eggs may be used as the main dish and in com- bination with other foods that it is a rare meal that does not have eggs in some form. Canada has set standards for grading eggs, so that the homemak- er buys eggs by grade. For finest flavour and perfection she buys grade "A". For' economy the lower grade "B" may be used in general cooking such as batters or as a binder for other foods. The home economists of the Con- sumer Section, Canada Department of Agriculture, say that the old question of preference for brown or white eggs comes up over and over again with arguments on both sides. The colour of the shell has nothing to do with grade or food value, but many people are still very definite in their preference. Dried eggs are excellent for sum- mer cottage use, Being concentrat- ed they are easy to transport and require minimum storage space. They do, however, require careful storage. "Keep cool dry and cover- ed" is the rule. They should be re- frigerated if possible. Dried eggs must be reconstituted with water when they are used. Usually the | powder is slowly blended with cold | water, allowing 2 tablespoons water to each tablespoon dried eggs to equal 1 whole fresh egg. Sometimes the egg powder may be sifted with the flour and other dry ingredients and the amount of water required to reconstitute tthe egg added to | the other liquid. When eggs are plentiful home- makers can turn their cooking tal- ents to angel food, souffle, meringues and other deli- cious egg treats. There are however some fine points on using egg whites to best advantage. The temperature of an egg effects the separation of the yolk and white egg just out of the refrigerator sep- arates most easily because the white is firm and the yolk less easily broken. The white will whip more easily if it {8 not too cold. How long to whip the white is another secret worth knowing. The beaten whites should be stiff but not dry. If they are to hald their air bubbles while they are folded into a cake mixture and cooked the walls of the bubbles must not be stretched too thinly by over-beating. If the beaten white holds up in a soft peak and looks glossy but not dry it will be just right., Equally '| Protect Your Eyes From Sun Glare, Dust A pair of sunglasses doesn't end your summer responsibility to your eyes. Increased hours in the open mean they receive extra exposure to sun glare, wind burn and dust. To keep your eyes looking and feeling their best, special care is necessary. i Pirst rule is to keep your hands away from your eyes regardless of how itchy or tired they feel. Io relieve this discomfort, it's a good icea to wash your eyes with a mild boric acid solution, eitner using an| eye cup or simply squeezing a few | drcps into them from a sterile] cotton ball moistened with tne boric water. .

The wide, straight tunic has a white belt'and a back which falls in fashionable swing panels. Some of the tunics are a little fantastic but there are simple shirt- walstza blou.e-jackets with open necks and bishop sleeves. Many designs have medieval or renaissance interest. For instance there is one with the huge sleeves of a renaissance dandy and wide, graceful regency cloaks with big collars and wide sleeves. In cotton dresses, one style has the simplicity of a choirboy's sur- plice. A white cotton with bf'¥tlerie Anglaise collar costs less than £3 ($2.30). * Chinese coolie jackets are another popular choice for maternity wear, as are the huge, white Quaker col- lars, viad swagger and bigger coats and buttohed skirts. A store which specializes in hand- smocking has "kangaroo" skirts for wear beneath their smocks. These hang from braces and have a cir- cular cut-outs at the waist. Maternity underwear is more ex- pensive and hard to find. Many cor- set-makers ignore this line and some women complain they must have maternity corsets especially made, % Sentinel Safety Switch El 4 Pump Optional ($15 Extra) % Streamlined Feed Board % Safe Interlocking Controls When you can buy a genuine Westinghouse at this price . . .
