" married in his PRiNCESS NGRID OF SWEDEN IS LIKELY CHOICE OF WALES| !nndon May 31.—For the umpti- mmm London seclety s at its fav- Orl!a game of marrying off the most eligible young man in the world, H. R. H. the Prince of Wales, and this time the jucky girl is sup- posed to be his distant cousin, Princess lnlr(d of Sweden. Ever since’ the Prince attained his twenty-first “year, rumor has connected hs pame with that of every pretty British girl of high lineage, and many a foreign prin- cess. But they all have married somebody else or are still going strong as unmarried society favor- ites. ‘Why Rumor Pot Hoils Now, however, Mayfair and Park Lane S8herlocks and Sher- lockesses are busy once more, bas- ing their prognostications upon three things: FIRST—It is an old story around all the swell London clubs to which the Prince belongs that he has declared that he would be thirty-fifth year. And the Prince will reach 35 on June 23 next. SECOND—The ' Prince lives in bachelor quarters in famous old 8t. James's’ Palace, his rooms, es- pecially his bedroom, being almost monk-like in absence of finery -and gew-gaws. After the death of his beloved granimother, Queen Alex- andra, it was supposed he would move into her hold home, Marl- borough House. While. he was away in Africa, the place was completely repainted, redecorated and refurnished under the watch- ful eye of Queen Mary. But when the Prince returned to London he went right back to his plain old “diggings.” The Mayfair prophets say that he will move into Marl- borough House only when he set- tles there with a bride. THIRD—Princess Ingrid is at present in London on one of her many and frequent visits. - The Bwedish embassy is giving a big ball in her honor on June 14 an the Prince has promised to bl there. An Eligible Princess If the Prince has determined to settle down and marry, and if he s to choose a voyal princess, the lovely Ingrid is one of the few cauges goasip to link up her name with that of England's future rul- er. He has an eye for a pretty wo- man, and Princess Ingrid is 19, slender, golden-haired, brown-eyed, slim-ankled—a real beauty. The Prince is keen on dancing. and Princeas Tngrid is a splendi dancer. In fact, the last time sl visited London, he often. was seen dancing with his pretty kinswo- man. Q. K. as a Motorist The Prince is a fan on outdoor sports and so is Princess Ingrid. As is fitting in a daughter of the cold north, she is a wonderfully fine performer on skiis. 8he is wn ardent tennis player, inheriting this from her royal grandfather, the King of Sweden. In Stockholm last year she got her license as a motor driver, standing a strict examination like everybody else. The examiners in their report said: “She is much better than the average pupil and very cool and unperturbed at the wheel.” But that does not exhaust the list of Ingrid’s accomplishments. 8he speaks English as fluently and perfectly as she does Swedish, and French and German in addition. She 1is a good violinist. She has been taught cooking and house- hold management. From her mother, an English Princess, she seems to have inherited her love of gardens and flowers. She is the daughter of the pres- | ent Crown Prince of Sweden and | his first wife, Princess Margaret of Connaught, daughter of the| Duke of Connaught. Her mother therefore, was a first cousin - of King George. After some years of widowhood, the Swedish Crown Prince married again, his second wife also being English and a rel- ative of the British royal family— Princess Louise Battenburg. | She’s Royal Favorite | The pretty and charming !nxr)(l{ is the favorite grandchild both of | her paternal grandfather, Swedish king, and of her maternal | grandparent, the venerabhle Buke | of Connaught, at whose home she | usually stay# in London.
