It is fortunate that the. fair-haired, blue-eyed little daughter of the King and Queen is a bonnie and high- ly intelligent youngster, in no way spoiled by her popularity. Nor is she un- duly impressed by the fact that she may one day. ascend the throne as Queen Elizabeth the Second.
Albeit innocently enough, Princess Elizabeth has worked for her popularity and, in so doing, mastered a task of which most children know nothing. This is the

woman.
Now she has added swimming to her sporting accomplishments, and, next, she wants terribly badly to fly. At the time of the wedding of Princess Juliana of Holland, she cherished a vain hope that she might be allowed to be a bridesmaid and fly to The Hague.
To her cager questions as to whether she could go, her father temporised: "I can't answer that question now, Lilibet." It was to be answered later, but, much to Lilibet's sorrow, in the negative.
Another Queen Victoria?
Many people have often re- marked upon how cool and self- possessed is Princess Elizabeth. In his innate quality it may be that she resembles her great- great-grandmother. Having been introduced to the child, a famous admiral regarded her search- ingly and said: "I thought I was looking at Queen Victoria." That natural case which is hers will aid her greatly in the years to
come.
She is more serious and deli- berate than Margaret Rose, to- wards whom she has always shown a deep; protective love. She has watched over her young sister, stopped her from sitting on cold stone walls without the protection of a rug, applauded her successful efforts to dance. and aing-two accomplishments in which the six-year-old Prin-
