o 0 0 O o 0 Queen Keeps Trim Figure With Walking Willpower 9f MARGARET SAVILLE United Presi Correspondent London (U.R) Queen Eliza beth II, who boasts the trim fig ure a movie star might envy, keeps it that way with lots of walking and willpower, " The young British monarch faces more temptations to go overboard on good food and drink, simply because she is roy alty. She never is without state banquets-, official lunches and parties on her schedule. With them go elaborate foods, cham pagnes and other wines. But the Queen, who once had to go on a diet and drop a few pounds, has become an expert at sitting out a few courses and sip ping only a little wine. And she never eats between meals. She gets more exercise than you'd think, despite her hectic official schedule. The mere performance of her public duties calls for a lot of walking. When at home in Buck ingham Palace, - she takes her dogs out for a brisk walk around the grounds every afternoon Goes Fishing Weekends at Windsor Castle, the Queen and Prince Philip ' often walk the five miles around the Great Park, and usually go riding before breakfast. On a hol iday in Scotland at Balmoral Castle, she goes fishing and deer stalking. She also spends a lot of time in the gardens, playing with Prince Charles and Princess Anne. It all helps to keep her waist line a neat 22 inches and her lovely pink and white complex ion clear and youthful. When possible at official func tions the Queen drinks orangeade instead of alcoholic beverage. Sometimes courtesy requires her to take a little wine. But she just takes a few sips. and puts the glass down. The menu for any lunch or dinner she is to attend always is sent in advance to her lady-in- waiting. The lady-in-waiting promptly eliminates any dishes the Queen considers fattening. Elizabeth skips rich soups, creams or pastry dessert. She prefers grilled to fried foods, and does not eat elaborate sauces. Fresh fruit dishes, such as her favorite. Pear Cardinal, replace ices and souffles when possible. Her footman arranges to skip one complete course of every elaborate banquet, when the Queen entertains with a state banquet at Buckingham Palace. ' Her guests may enjoy the chef's creations, but the Queen sticks to her "one main dish only"; rule. She may eat the fish course and ignore the chicken which follows, doing it so quiet ly her guests don't always notice. If the Queen is lunching with her husband, the couple usually will have one meat or fish, veg etables and fresh fruit. Like most Englishwomen, she enjoys tea in the afternoon, usu ally sipping two cups with a small sandwich and perhaps a slice of cake. Dinner is at eight and is an other one main dish meal with cheese or fruit afterwards, unless the Queen has guests. After the birth of Princess Anne, Queen Elizabeth began adding pounds. She went to one of the court doctors for a plan ned diet, and started counting calories. In eight weeks, she had re gained her slenderness. The Queen's measuremetns are model ones bust and hips 34, waist 22, to go with her five-foot, four-inch height.

Secretary Benson's Daughter To Be Wed in Mormon Temple By PATRICIA WIGGINS United Press Correspondent . Washington (U.R) Miss Bar bara Benson, daughter of Sec retary of Agriculture Ezra T.

Washington's social arbiter, Carolyn Hagner Shaw, arranged "Drucie" Snyder's wedding and wrote afterwards that it was the "biggest social job I ever under took." She said the bride's fa ther hoped for a "homey" wed ding but got something as homey as a session of Congress." List of 1200 Miss Benson's announcement list shows the similar effect of her father's position and indi cates that the size of her wed ding might have been had she planned it for the Capital. She said the list "started" at 1200 and has been growing every day. Her father's friends in the Church of Latter Day Saints, of which he is an official, as well as those in the govern ment add to Barbara's address ing woes. One of the 12 Apostles of the church,. Mr. Benson will offi ciate at his daughter's marriage. And her parents will fete the newlyweds with a wedding breakfast in the President's suite at the Hotel Utah, the same place they had their wed ding breakfast 30 years ago this month. .
