This week blue-eyed, brown-haired Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor comes of age. Briton No. SWGC 55-1 to the national registration office. "Betts" to her family, Princess Elizabeth to the world, on her 18th birthday she becomes Heiress Presumptive to the British throne.

...from ambitious James Henry Roberts Cromwell, ex-Minister to Canada, turned out to have secretly sued him for divorce, in Reno a fortnight ago. She charged cruelty. He had already sued last September in New Jersey, charging desertion. Last week the struggle seemed likely to be shrill. The tobacco heiress charged that Jimmy had demanded $7 million as a financial settlement.
