Celebrating the ninth anniversary of her coronation and her "official" birthday (the real one was April 21, when she turned 36), Queen Elizabeth issued her traditional birthday honors lists and slyly mixed into it a heady summer highball. Named a Commander of the British Empire was A.R.D. Gilbey, maker of Gilbey's gin; named a member of the Order of the British Empire was Commander Walter Edward Whitehead, bearded pitchman for Schweppes quinine water.
