She has written 22 books about them since the reign of George V. She cov ered the birth of princess Margaret, tho abdication of Edward VIII, the wedding of Queen Elizabeth and her coronation. By MARGARET SAVILLE U P Palace Correspondent . London U.R) There comes a time tor every girl when she must grow up, face life as it is. For Britain's Princess Margaret it came very suddenly and pain fully. It came a little more than two years ago in a railroad car in the British African ' colony of Rhodesia. - Margaret and the Queen Mother Elizabeth had been on a tour of the colony when the Princess, hurt and angry, ran away from the royal party. Her mother followed her. Crowds looking through, the plate glass window of train car 40 in the station at Salisbury saw their reconciliation and one brief, heart-tugging burst of emotion. The mother opened her arms to her youngest child and Mar garet clung to her for a moment. When the embrace ended, Mar garet squared her shoulders. Two Year Wait , She had faced up to the fact that she could not go on with her behind the scenes romance with Group Capt. Peter Town send, the Royal equerry at Buck ingham Palace. Her only hope lay in waiting two years until she came to the age when she could choose her own man. ' It had been a moment of crisis for the British royal family. When she learned that Townsend had been "exiled" to Brussels as an air attache, the impetuous Margaret broke off the Rhodes- ian tour, flew to Salisbury, leav ing her mother behind, and put through an urgent call to Lon don. -": Government House quietly an nounced her royal highness was "suffering from a heavy cold which has been coming on for some days." Certainly her eyes were red. But two days later, when the Queen Mother's train pulled into Salisbury, that kind and anxious widow had risen to disembark when her daughter came back to her with a rush. The reminder of royal duty in the mother's em brace was as old as the British Empire. Margaret honored it in full. But what sensitive woman caught in the warm misery of first love can find full comfort Amethyst Lodger To Make Plans. ' For Annual Party Gold Hill Amethyst Re- bekah lodge will meet Wednes day.

Romance of in the cold call of duty? Full Of Fir Especially Margaret. She is full of fire. She is a tiny woman, far prettier than her pictures. Full-hipped and deep breasted,; emotional and intelligent, the violet-eyed girl could have snapped her fingers years ago and had almost any man of her choice except Townsend. Margaret was used to having her way. She was the especial favorite of her father, the late George VI, who once remarked that "Margaret Rose could charm the pearl out of an oyster.' . , It was the King, an experi enced judge of men, who had ap provingly assigned Townsend, a hero of the Battle of Britain, to relieve the bonedom of a young girl caged by high birth. He as signed the captain, 16 years older than Margaret, to accompany the adolescent girl on walks at Sand ringham or theater going to Lon don's West End. Margaret and Peter first met when he was 29, she 13. She had just been dousing herself in Schi aparelli's "shocking" perfume and trying on her mother's lip stick. Townsend Wore Her Colors Margaret's hero worship for Townsend was such that she con ceived a desire to learn to fly. Townsend agreed to teach her but the king said no. But Town send wore Margeret's colors in air races and at the steeplechase races. When the princess was going out in the evening she would run to the King's study to display a new frock. Townsend was often there. "Do you like it?" the girl would ask, expecting an answer from Townsend as well as her father.. It was in those days that the Artists' Association of America decided that Margaret had "the world's most beautiful eyes." The spirited princess carried the clipping around, took it to Town- send and asked mischievously: "Would you like to look into the world's most beautiful eyes?" Margaret had adored her fath er. On a February night in 1952, while her sister Princess Eliz abeth was in Africa with the Duke of Edinburgh, Margaret played the piano and softly sang for her father as she often did. He . tinkered with a crossword puzzle and retired early. He died before dawn. Shock Struck Margaret The shock of less struck Mar garet cruelly.

Queen Mother Eliza beth, eoncerned about the daugh ter's sadness, told Townsend at one. time, "Take her out and cheer her up." It was that same year that Townsend won a divorce from his wife, Rosemary, charging her wuth adultery. He was given custody of their two children. In his own emotional turmoiL he drew close to the girl he had come to know so well. They went everywhere toeether. He accompanied her to the royal residence of Balmoral in Scot land and they built together a three-foot rough stone cairn on a Scottish hilltop. Each time they roae to tne summit, they put an other stone on the cairn. There is little question that it was then they truly fell in love. But Townsend was a divorced man. And the Anglican Church, of which Elizabeth II is head, forbids marriage to a divorcee, no matter who is the innocent party. Yet Margaret and Town send went blindly ahead, with their romance. Left On Tour : . The world first learned of their love affair a few days after Elizabeth s coronation in June, 1953. Just as- had the news of the romance of Edward VHI and Wallis Warfield Simpson broken in the American press, so did that of Margaret and Townsend The New York Daily News printed the first story and then the storm broke in Britain. But the palace maintained an icy silence. A few weeks later Margaret left with her mother on the Afri can tour. And it was then that the handsome - Townsend was summarily ' informed that his services were no longer required at Buckingham Palace and that he had been given the post of air attache in Brussels. The plan was' obvious: To sep arate the young lovers and let their passion cool slowly. Town- send made no protest. He took it like the man he is. But the tiny Margaret was not to be denied the only man she had ever wanted.. She squared her shoulders that day in Rho desia and began her ordeal of waiting. She went to the theater, the night clubs and the races with dukes and earls, wealthy young commoners and childhood friends. Last August 21 she reached the age of 25. She no longer needed the consent of her sister to marry.
