With her own hand, according to London dispatches last week, Queen Elizabeth adjusted the towels in a guest bathroom at Buckingham Palace and placed there a fresh cake of soap bearing the British royal arms. This was for the use of King Leopold III of the Belgians, whose state visit went off in glittering, uneventful style as scheduled (TIME, Nov. 22).
