Card Party Wenonah club will entertain (t a dessert card party at Red man hall Thursday, October 20 t 1 p.m. i Margaret: TKe Romance of a Princess This li the second in a series of articles about Princess Margaret by Margaret Saville who has covered the royal family of Britain for more than 20 years. She has written 22 books about them since the reign of George V. She covered the birth of Princess Margaret, the abdication of Edward VIII, the wedding of Queen Elizabeth and her coronation. By MARGARET SAVILLE United Press Correspondent London (U.R) The other young men who wooed Princess Margaret never really had much chance against Peter Townsend. She first met him when she was an impressionable 13, he a dashing and handsome RAF hero.' For nine years they were together almost every day. As equerry to the royal fam ily at Buckingham Palace, he was with her under gay and in formal circumstances. In the privacy of the family parlor he sang to her piano playing, learned the ruhmba steps from her, played canasta, rode with her on the bridle paths of Wind sor, went on picnics in the Scot tish Highlands. Not so with the other young men who escorted the vivacious little princess. There was Lord Ogilvie, the Marquis of Bland ford, the Earl of Dalkeith, Mark Bonham Carter, Lord Hamble don, Billy Wallace. Titled or wealthy young men, all of them, but seldom had they the opportunity to woo the prin cess under any but the stiffest and formal circumstances. Come along on one of the dates Princess Margaret has had in the past two years while Townsend was in "exile" in Brussels. The young man's first step is to telephone Clarence House dial WHitehall 3141 and ask for the princess' lady-in-waiting. "I was wondering if her royal highness would care to join a small party I am giving," he says. Then he lists' the date, the . Dean & Taylor Pontiac 6th & Grape Medford, Ore. places to be visited and every one else in the group. The lady-in-waiting notes it all down. Then the young man waits, a day or two, perhaps a week. When the great day arrives, the young man, in freshly pressed tuxedo and carnation, awaits the princess' arrival at the theater. He does not go after. her. She comes in her own car, license "PM," with lady-in-waiting and Scotland Yard detec tive. There are presentations and handshakes and curtsies. Com fortably settled, the host may enquire: "Ma'am, have we your permission to smoke?" Permission is always granted. But Margaret always refused the cigarette offered to her. She takes her own from a case and lights up with the ivory holder the late Queen Mary gave her "if you must smoke, at least keep your fingers unstained." After the show, the host and another couple may be invited to ride in the royal limousine to a nightclub. The "400" and the "Cafe De Paris" are her favor ites and the headwaiter knows her preference for the table on the righthand- side of the en trance. For supper, Margaret may take some iced melon, con somme, smoked salmon and a single veal cutlet, one glass of champagne. Ever since she saw an unflattering newspaper pic ture of herself two years ago, she's watched her figure. She fancies plunging necklines and is shown to advantage in them. Her first dance goes to the host, but after that she carefully rations herself among the men of the party. They report she is light, supple, rhythmic, relaxed and easy to dance with. Sometime round 2 a.m., her royal highness says she'd better be going. No one has dared leave before. A brief goodnight to the host and the momers, more curtsies and the princess is gone. No lin gering on the doorstep like more ordinary couples. And, of course, no goodnight kiss. It's all a bit chilly to male ardor but the chances are that it has suited Margaret very well during the past two years. pea" U7V( tvm MIBB to.
