Sneezing Powder In ten years' time the WOrld'S gossip-mongers will, probably be WeavAlg rQxnance rumours lillroupd. another British princess who will certainly have all the, charm, glamour and fearlessness of her aunt, Princess Margaret. Blonde Princess Anne is des- ljned to become a vital figure, in the pageantry of the Common Wealth — but none of today's royal advisers has discovered yet how to stop the constant whis- pers of romance that are bound to circle her when she's older, Luckily, Princess Anne is only nine years old, But, even at nine, she. Is a personality in her own right .. riding shaggy fell ponies bareback at Balmoral, fearlessly befriending racehorses at the royal paddocks, She is so very like her mother, Yet she also takes after her father, too. When she went into hospital for her tonsils operation, she bad to be persuaded to take a few toys with her. She did not particularly want them, she ex- plained, because she needed a change, When taken to the Royal Tournament, she insisted on hav- ing two little friends there. "It will be so nice for them," she said, earnestly, "and so nice for me, tool" Her young friends were Susan Babington Smith and freckled Caroline Hamilton, who go to "school" at Buckingham Palace. Mrs. Hamilton lives in one of the streets behind the Palace and delivers Susan to "classes" in the morning in her baby car and collects her at night. ' It's all part of the "new deal" for princesses at the Palace, for it was thought that Anne might be in danger of becoming too stuffy if she took lessons alone with her governess. In the after- noons, the three children ex- plore London, visiting perhaps the Tower, the Zoo or the Na- tural History Museum — and they are seldom recognized. The Queen's policy of avoiding the limelight for her children has worked well. Few people know what Princess Anne really looks like. Tall as her brother, she is often dressed in frocks cut from her mother's clothes. She was taken for a walk outside the Palace grounds not long ago "just for a few minutes." But the few minutes were pro- longed into an hour and a half as she made a complete tour of the two big London parks near the Palace — St. James's and. Green Park. No one spotted the Princess or if they did so they were too polite and sensible to snake a fuss. At Balmoral not long ago the 44#7.' •••• " e•ga• "tegea: '$v-eN YEAR'S SUPPLY — Mark Little- field, 5, has a year's work cut out for him. His quota of the na- tion's hot dog output — 62 of the succulent wieners, accord- ing to meat industry spokesmen. Princess, "escaped" With her brOe ther and cycled down to Craithie village, much to the horror of a French. governeSa Who was in charge of them. Then the truant Children devoted themselves to the business of shopping, buying sneezing powder for a practical joke and a horror mask with which Princess Anne hoped to scare the gown-ups. These are stories that might be told of any little girl, but Prin- cess Anne is happily growing up quite naturally, a triumph for the fresh breeze that has recent- ly blown through Palace routine, Not long ago, Anne was expected to be a bridesmaid at the smart Abel Smith wedding, The Queen made her own appearance at an. Abel Smith wedding when only five, But Her Majesty declined - the invitation for her daughter, feeling that the publicity might not be good for the child. Princess Anne had a mink coat at four and riding boots when even younger, She has been taken on wonderful cruises on the royal yacht and has shared smuggled trips in her father's helicopter. She has whizzed in speed boats and flown in a 'plane, Yet the last thing she is is spoiled. She has a set of the world's most glamorous dolls — perfect- ly costumed little ladies from France. But Anne has to address them all whenever possible in French. After her father gave her swimming lessons at the end of a long bamboo pole with a rub- ber loop, the secretary of the Amateur Swimming' Association wanted to give her a silver swimming spoon. The Duke explained, however, that she was not yet proficient enough. And Anne had to try harder . . . until she developed into a very good swimmre and eventually won the spoon, her first sporting trophy. When one of the royal corgis fell ill, it was Princess Anne who first noticed the trouble. The dog was sent away to an animals' hospital, and Anne ask- ed about him every day until he came home fully recovered. And when she heard that one of the Celevland bays in the royal stables was poorly, noth- ing would content her but to visit the horse to help feed him and cheer him up. MOSt people imagine that a royal princess must be sur- rounded by toys. In reality only a few are kept at every royal residence, to be greeted en- thusiastically as old friends ivhenever the Royal Family settles in. At Windsor, for instance, there is Princess Anne's own doll's house, a perfect miniature 30in. high and Eft, long, in ultra- modern style. There is electric light in every room, running water in the kitchen, a radio that really receives program- mes, and even a roof garden with a beautiful lily pond and a real fountain. At Sandringham, the atten- tion of Anne — and her indis- pensable friends — is invariably turned to the miniature child's caravan. The berths have real foam-rubber mattresses on which youngsters may sprawl. Many of the cupboards are fitted with miniature clothes- hangers. The stainless steel sink encourages regular washing up and tidiness. The only fake is the cooker, because it would be foolish to ask a child to play with an ap- paratus that could burn. Princess Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise is eight years old and still living in the wonder • world of carefree childhood. So it's "many happy returns," for the most important little girl in the world . . . the only little girl who can play a game of football and have the Queen of England taking part as goalkeeper. Boom.

No' Tess than alxteen new bowling centers are being built in Detroit alone; Miami has more thank tripled its bowling space in the last year. In New York City, a new 62- lane center is being fitted inside a renovated .building on upper • Broadway. Even. recession hasn't slowed the pace. U.S. bowlers spent a record $250 million in fees (at . an average of 45 cents per game) in the 1957-58 season, not count- ing spending for balls (at $25- COPY CAT — "Sparky, four- month-old Maltese, catches on to a mighty comfortable way to enjoy a "paws" for lunch.

This year, with thousands of new alleys avail- able, the Bunswick-Balke-Col- lender Co., bowling.-.equipment maker, expects the total to hit et least $350 million, and prob- ably higher. The potent,economic steam be- hind this boom is a combination of automation, slick salesman- ship, and the onset of together- ness. By sprucing up their pre- mises and their public relations, alley owners (who now decor- ously refer to alleys as "lanes") have shed the old poolroom 'as- sociations that long hung about the sport. Nearly all new -alleys have air conditioning, snack bars, and sometimes cocktail lounges (as Dearborn, Mich., bowling instructress Marge Mer- sick ,puts it: "We took the alleys out from behind the bar and put the bar at the side of the lanes"). Many have gone even farther, adding such amenities es well - staffed nurseries to watch bowlers' childzen (All Star Lanes in Skokie, Ill., has closed-circuit television to per- mit bowlers to watch their ewn). New York's new Man- hattan Lanes has "social center" rooms for women bowlers, where it plans to stage fashion shows and flower exhibits. In Buffalo, the new $2 million Suburban Lanes provides built- in wall cribs, an outdoor barbe. cue patio for bowling parties, and a swimming pool. It rewards perfect games with free family tripS to the Virgin Islands or scholarships for the kiddies. SALESMANSHIP —• A youngster' walked into a bank the ,Other" day to On account with 05.
