fifty-year-old English princess daughter of the late biscuit `king, Sir Walter Palmer-has returned to London.
After showing me her lately snapped. collection of photos of the Acropolis (taken by moonlight, sald she), the princess of the little State in Borneo gave me a five-minute recitation on what it fects like to be a Mohammedan for five years.
Yes, a Mohammednn. For on her lost sweeping exit from London, the Dayang Muda soared 5,000 feet above the Channel and, in the cabin of an airplane, renounced Christianity and became a Moslem.
"After five years as a Moslem I can say my conver- slot has been a great success," she said.
The Dayang Muda started tile as a Quaker. Then became a Protestant, Then a Roman Catholle. Mohammedan.
"Naturally, I don't follow all the
Moslem customs,” she said,
