The Brussels Post, 1949-12-7, Page 3"Bonnie Prince" Livres Up To Name Britain's Bonnie Prince Charles la living up to his name,. The first anniversary of the son of Princess Elizabeth and the puke el Edinburgh saw him a jolly, 'nailing baby„ with chubby cheeks puckering into a rosebud mouth. When on his daily airing in Green Park from his home, Clar- ence House, he flashes, a smile at passersby, two ivory teeth sparkle. Recipients of the princely greeting, chiefly retainers from Pall Mall clubs or housekeepers from Carl- ton House Terrace just smile and wave, and pass on their way. Moat -of them have seer' generations of children from Royal nurseries take their airing in the park and they agree with the Royal parents that public life will be thrust upon them all too soon. Yet Prince Charlie's progress is being watched with interest by mothers and aunts, fathers and uncles, grandmothers and grand- fathers throughout Britain. They felt the same tug at the heartstring which Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh must have had when the baby Prince's Little Lord Fauntieroy curls were cut off and replaced by a boyish cut away from his brow. They watched him pass from woollies to buster suits and admired the manly double- breasted beaver coat which he wears in the park ' • this cold wea- ther. So far, he has not worn a hat. The large, old-fashioned white perambulator — the one Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret had when they were small — is kept spick and p ck a td span by Prince Charlie's own "batman," the 1,5 - year -old sen et a village constable. The ,official title (of this youthful amenuensts is 'trainee nursery foot- man," Prince Charles' parents recently moved •into Clarence House, a twe-minute walk from Marlborough House, royal residence of Queen Mary. The (Queen Mother is said to be a frequent visitor at ..,-her great-grandson's nursery.,The Prince is now. a high-spirited, ctive little crawler 'eager for new adven- -hires, ,For •safety, the nursery has a high, old-fashioned brass lifeguard, the same pattern nurseries have. hall for the past 50 years, Prince Charles Philip Arthur George has bis own green ratiosi book like any other child in Brit- ain. His mother is said, to be most particular about getting the extra orange juice which is allowed for growing children. People here are discussing whether the Prince's name has yet been entered for Eton College, Britain's premier boys' public school and whether he will follow in his father's nautical footsteps and join the Royal Navy. The .Lethal Amateur Professionals occasionally get away with murder, amateurs sel- dom.

When she 'repeated it to astute did Ells Parker, famed Burlington County detective, be asked just one question: "You were sleeping next the wall, and climbed over your husband without waking him?" "That's right," she replied. Parker sent out an alarm for the burglars, 17e also had Mrs. Giber. son watched tinobtrusively. His watchers reported .that she made frequent trips to a shed in the back yard. 6Vlsen the funeral left the :. house, Parker hurried to the shed.

The lethal lady was tried, con- vistect.and sentenced to life. "Slee couldn't have climbed over her husband without waking him," Parker said afterwards. "That tipped me off that she shot hint. Then she made- every mistake in the book. In her excitement, she even forgot to make up the bed in the other room • where she'd . actually slept. The whole thing was phony. These amateurs!"

To bleach tea towels, I drop pieces of lemon peel -into the water when 1 am boiling the towels, The lemon peel gives w^tt . wonderfully fresh, clean appearance to the towels.

It's perfect for applying cleaner to dishes, mirrors, and silver. And a powder puff dip- ped in cleaning fluid is just the thing for erasing spots on woolen garments. It works Netter for me than a sponge or a cloth. Also, give a clean, rough -surfaced puff a try in dusting troublesome lint from dark wool clothing. * * * .Need a brightening touch fo, your kitchen walls? This idea drew all kinds of compliments when I tried it recently. Paint a pair of worn or discarded phonograph re- cords to accent your color scheme; add an attractive decal to each' and hang by drilling a small ho e at the top or gluing an ineonepie- uoua cloth or cardboard loop on the underside. When bar soap has dissolved to a point where it is impractical and annoying to handle, drop it into a little cloth bag about 5 inches square, This will be ever so handy in doing the dishes or making suds for your laundry, * * * Sew a ring to the top of your mixer cover and hang it from e small curtain hook, screwed into the base of your kitchen cabinet. This will keep it helpfully out of your way while .your mixer's in use, yet right at your finger tips for easy replacing. Whip It Up Evaporated milk may be whip- ped, es en more easily hon some fresh creast if treated the following way: When a recipe calls for evap- orated tnilk, whipped, place the can in a saucepan, cover with cold water. and bring just to a tumbling boil. When cold, it will whip just as easy as fresh cream. It is interesting to note that this suggestion was tested by Miss Farmer's famous School of Cook- ery in Boston, which reported that it not only worked beautifully, but „increased the volume of the milk after it was whipped. Cynicism: It should be easy to stake an honest living—there isn't much competition.

'39fie auttaxiiterivrtTuAnratlzcw,g4 nme a/ t'e e e ( itanfee CANADA, land of opportunity, owes much of its strength and vitality, and the rich quality of its democ- racy, to the blending of racial and cultural heritages from many lands. It is a matter of pride to all Canadians that so many races, without sacrificing their national characteristics, have united them- selves into one great citizenship — the Canadian Family. Ever since the days of Jacques Cartier, famous French explorer of the 16th Century, Canadians of sew, s • French descent have played a leading role in moulding Canada's destiny. Today, French Canadians are our largest racial group representing almost one third of Canada's population. Distinguished in the arts and sciences and outstanding in; their chosen professions, they have made a major contribution to Canada's progress while their thrift and devotion have earned for "les Canadiens" the wholesome respect of their fellow citizens.
