"THE RIVER PIRATE"

Plenty of action and all the thrills of Charles Francis Coe's great novel, "The River Pirate," are promised with the showing of a picture of the same name which will be screened at the Queen's Theatre on Friday and Saturday.

Princess Mary sets an example to all English wives and mothers. for she spends the best part of her time in the company of her husband and children. She is in-

tensely interested in all things connected with the home, and her country residence, Goldsborough

Hall, is a model

for any house- wife. She is always thinking of improvements there, and recent→ ly started on a thorough renova- tion of the extensive gardens.

During the last six months or 80, however, the Princess has act been able to give all her attention to these domestic activities. ̈ ̈ ̈The illness of her father, King George, in its early stages neces- sitated-repeated journeys-to-and from London and Yorkshire.

The bridesmaids were the Misses Patricia Hynes, Molly George, Marian Vincent and Patricia Chevalier. They were dressed in bouffant gowns of pervenche blue, pale gold, mauve, and pink taffeta. The skirts were finished with tulle which touched the toes of their taffeta slippers. The only trimming was a taffeta bow which drooped to the ground, from the neckline at the back. On their hair were bandeaux of tulle edged with tiny taffeta buds.

The two bigger bridesmaids carried sheafs of pale pink and gold gladiolas finished with a big tulle bow. The two smaller girls carried Victorian posies of pink African daisies and violet lark- spur.
