She began to ac- cept more social engagements, and visited considerafbly at various coun- try homes, until almost unconscious- ly she found herself in the full whirl of social life. Now of course less time was spenrt at. Glamis, as the Earl and‘ his family spent a con- siderable amount of the year in town. Until 1920 they retained‘ their town house in St. James Square; af- terwards moving to 17 Burton Streetâ€"the house later to be so well known to the public as the birth- place of Princess Elizabeth. By this time Lady Elizabeth gained a large circle of personal friends apart from those of her family, sometimes invit- ed to visit the Princess Royal (then Princess Mary) at Buckingham Pal- ace. She provedl to be a great so- cial success, and was in demand ev- erywhere, and became known as “the .best dancer in London”. Lady Strathmore now realized that her young daughter was grow- ing up and soon would have to mix in the new England, whose dawn was so anxiously awaited. The result was that Lady Elizabeth Bowesâ€"Lycn was sometimes to be seen in Lon- don, either with her mother, or with her married sister Lady Elphinstone. Peace then came, and at first it seemed to work little change in the quiet life of Lady Elizabeth. It was a considerable time before Glamis Castle lost its military atmosphere. The Strathmore family naturally felt that for them the war had not ended till once more they were all united. Unfortunately they had a long wait, and a number of disappointments, before Captain Michael Bowes-Lyon. who was a war prisoner, was able to return from Germany. Now in- deed‘, the war seemed really over to Lady [Elizalbe'th when her own im- ‘med'iate'family was at last reunited. At eighteen she faced the world, as did all her generation, with an ex- perience wider in some respects than was that of their parents at more than double their age. The Fonfar Ball is one of the mast important social even-ts of the year over the border, 50 in 1921 Glamis castle entertainea a large' party for the occasion. One visitor was expected who had' never been there before, and one can imagine; the young hostess must have felt- some slight trepidation at- the thought of entertaining royalty fmj the first time. When the King (then! Duke of York) arrived, however, all, her fears ceased, and she realized he, would prove an asset rather than a, responsibility to her as hostess. A! ‘Much as Queen Elizabeth owes to her birthplace, St. Paul’s Walden- bury, her formative andi adolescent years were almost entirely spent at Glamis, whose historic associations could not 'but keenly impress her ‘plastic and romantic mind. Ibeth was kept busy writing letters home for those who were incapaciâ€" tated“ for doing so themselves. And‘ one wonders how many of those dic- tated letters written in her girlish hand are now treasured throughout the length and breadth of the land. The castle is situated in the great \va‘lley of Strathmore, where a fer- tile plain slopes gently towards the Grampians on one side and the Sid» law Hills on the other. There are, indeed, few more peaceful spots in the world than Glamis, and a great ‘si‘lence seems to brood over it, mak- ing it a blessed relief to wonder in its quiet glens and forget the roar of London. In the old days it was a well-fortified stronghold, there beâ€" ing originally nine wal'ls surround- ing the castle itself. Long ago these had fallen, but even today there are ‘on the lawn two towers, last relics 10f those days of strife. Scottish history is full of battle and romance, and‘ Glamis‘ has more than. played her share in the wild happenings of ancient days. Here, up the great stone stairs of the castle, they car- Lried King Malcolm II. in 1304 to die of his wounds after the battle of Hunter’s Hill. And the castle is as- sociated with the names of many of those early Scottish kings who slept under its ancient beams. Many of the rooms are called after the hon- oured' guests royal or otherwise, who 'have at drifferent times slept in them. There is Scott’s room for in- stance, where the famous Sir Walter Scott slept once when as a young man, he Visited the family; and to \this day the bed he used' is still 'hung‘ with the Scott tartan in ac- cordance with the old hospitable cusâ€" tom of always putting a visitor to sleep ‘beneath his own plaid. Such then is the home in which the future Queen of England lived her most impressionable years. Like all her kindred, she loved the place intense- ly, proudly regarding the ancient pile as the greatest heirloom of a great family. MEET LADY ELIZABETH BOWES-LYON THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO (Continued from Page 6) 1 The Duke was only waiting his [time before asking the most impor- ' tant question in life. He has always ‘shown himself a man to give due consideration to every issue. He had' taken his naval career seriously; he [took his social obligations seriously; iand now at‘ this most important juncâ€" ‘ture of his life he realized he had ; not alone himself to please, but that he must choose a wife whose influ- ence would be as beneficial to the istate as it would be in her own lhome. Inquiry proved however. that at least he could assure the ladv ‘ of his cho’ce that she wouldllreceive the warmest of welcomes, not onlv from the family at Buckingham Pal- ace, but also from the great Brit- :‘sh public. So assured that his [choice was not only a wise one, but also one that would ’be of benefit ito the nation he loved. the Duke went on Saturdav. January 13, 1923 to stay at St. Paul’s Waldenlbury. ‘ The next dav being Sunday, he and :Lady Elizabeth walked together through the woods of the castle estateâ€"and no doubt to the Queen that wood will alwavs seem an en- chanted place, for it was there she [made the great decision of her life. Lady Elizabeth BOWes-LyOn- has impressed all beholders as “being full of the joy of life, and' her looks have spoken the simple truth. Like a child she could enjoy the pessine moment and‘ saw all the fun in all kinds of situations. Everyone knows, however, a woman may ‘be classi- callry beautiful, and yet flail to. at- tract, and looks without charm are worthwhile. Fortunately the Queen is possessed of both. The public know her admirable poise and dig- nity mingled with that winning man- rer t-hat endears her to all heartsâ€" A charming and winning smile is one of the greatest gifts that a wo- man can possess, and it is her smile which has made the Queen renowned throughout the Empire. large party had been invited to meet, him, and naturally Lad-y Elizabeth‘ was most anxious to look her best.( Now comes a chapter of romance‘ though its inevitable sequel did notl occur for months. Imagine a young‘ and handsome Prince, a lovely lady“ and the two of them exploring to, gether a grey old castle famed irl song and history; and what better! setting could be found for the de, velopment of an oldâ€"fashioned love, story. Princess Mary was staying, with friends not far away, so thq two girls seized the opportunity ofl meeting. They say in the North‘ “If you want to ‘know a man, meet. his sister.” The visit seems to have, strengthen-ed the friendship» Ibetweer‘ the two girls, and when a few; months later the engagement of the. Princess Mary was announced, Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon was one ofi the favoured young beauties who were to form the bridal retinue. Princess Mary's wedding was the first time Lady Elizabeth took part! ‘in a great Royal public function, and: .she had to face the criticisms and! comments of a huge crowd. If ever a pretty girl had a complete triumph, lit was Lady Elizabeth on that wed- ding day. Every bridesmaid! was pronounced lovely, but by common ‘ consent Lady Elizabeth was the most {charming of the whole rbevy. A11 corn growers, whether on the farm or elsewhere, are hereby noti- fied that all cofn stublble or other corn remnants, no matter where they may be, must either be plough- ed under completely or else gather- ed‘ and‘ burned before May 20th, and that failure to do so leaves the of- fender liable to prosecution, or to having to pay the cost of sending men in to do the work. So began the last summer of the girlhood of the future queen, and she little thought how soon her whole career was; to be changed. It was toward the end of 1922 that rumour sudden-1y began to ’be busy with the name of Lady Elizabeth Bowesi-Lyon. Before then she had been simply one; among many of the beautiful young girls in society, but now she was singled out for particular interest. There is no denying the fact that coming events do cast their shadows before them. and‘ now hearsay linked the name of Lady Elizalbeth with a royal marriage. The enthusiasm aroused every- where by the announcement of this royal engagement provedl beyond‘ ‘aIII doubt the attitude of the British pwblic towards His Royal» Highness’ commoner fiancee.
