On August 21, she will enter her 30th year. If she is not engaged or married by then and the chances are that she won't be she will be regarded by practically everyone in these sceptred isles as a spin ster. ' Already, the little princess is being referred to as such in circles close to the royal court. These people have be lieved for some time that be cause of the dearth of eligible men in her age group the sister of Queen Elizabeth will never marry. This belief is coupled with the cheerless argument that spinsterhood for royal prin cesses is not the same as for ordinary people. It is pointed out for example the Princess Victoria, sister of King George V, managed to live a full and important life as a spinster. As though to bear out this argument Princess Margaret is seemingly being guided to more significant public duties. Her overseas tours to the West Indies Africa and Can ada have given her an aware ness of the Commonwealth and the duties of the Crown toward it. If she passes 30 unmarried it is possible she may be given a governor generalship. But Britons would much rather that the tiny (five-foot) princess fall in love, marry and raise a family. They have followed her escorts for years and there has been much dis appointment at the breakfast tables as first one then an other eligible married else where. Few princesses in modern times could have had so many chances the rich Earl of Dalkeith, the handsome Lord Ogilvy, the dashing Earl of Westmoreland, the gay Duke of Rutland, Lord Portchester, the Marquess of Blandford, Lord Carnegie the list is long. All briefly appeared in the spotlight with her, and departed. Escorts Not Prospects Now only two or three reg ular, escorts are still about and 'they, are . not marital prospects, according to court circles.' Chief among them is millionaire Billy Wallace who has not been in good health for a long time. If the Princess does find a mate it will probably be some one she does not know now, or knows only casually. Possi bly a much older man. There remains Group Cap tain Peter Towndsend with whom she was once in love. Buckingham Palace sources say that marriage with Town send is out of the question and, in any event, the Prin cess is no longer in love with him. The Princess' public en gagements for 1959 have not deacon; S. W. Burrill, chap lain; Glenn R. Burrill, mar shal; Earl Sheppard, senior steward; William Ducker, junior steward; Ray Briggs, tyler.

Site's yet been fixed but it is possi ble she will make at least one overseas trip and one or two journeys to the Continent. She is eager to visit the United States but it is doubt ful if it will be arranged this year. In between her many pub lic engagements, the Princ ess still like parties and night clubs. She has many dancing companions, as distinct from marriage eligibles, and occa sionally goes out with some of her married friends.
