Best Wishes

Canada's wedding gift to Princess Elizabeth will be antique silver and a Canadian wild mink coat. The silver is just what she wants for setting up housekeeping, Prime Minister Mackenzie King announced last week. He got the tip from 64-year-old Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, wife of the former Governor General and a relative, by both blood and marriage, of the bride.* Princess Alice herself will select the silver, which will then be inscribed with Canada's best wishes.

* As the daughter of Leopold, Duke of Albany and brother of Edward VII, Princess Alice is Elizabeth's first cousin twice removed;, as wife of the Earl of Athlone, brother of Queen Mary, she is also Elizabeth's great-aunt.
