LONDON (UPD — Princess Alice of
Athlone holds the royal record for
public engagements — she has carried
out more than 20,000 - but then she is a
vigorous 94-year-old and has been at it
longer than anyone else in the House of
Windsor.
Princess Alice is the only surviving
grandchild of Queen Victoria and a firm
disbeliever in a quiet old age She tends
to head south in the winter, formerly by
banana boat (five seamen were swept
to their deaths in storms on one of her
journeys) but more recently by plane
It is one of her few concessions to her
years She can still be seen boarding a
bus near her grace-and-favor home in
Kensington Palace, sometimes
carrying a shopping bag Or, more
often lately, leaving or arriving by taxi
Princess Alice is the daughter of
Prince Albert, Duke of Albany younger
brother of King Edward VII. She
relates in her memoirs, "For My
Grandchildren," that her father died
three days before he was due to receive
his royal allowance of 25,000 pounds and
it was therefore withheld from his
widow and children, leaving them
- comparatively impecunious
She spent considerable time at the
court of Kaiser Wilhelm II after her .
Princess Alice Of Athlone
brother became ruling Duke of Saxe
CoburgGotha in Germany through
inheritance She returned to England in
1903 and married Prince Alexander of
Teck, brother of the future Queen
Mary He later became Earl of Athlone
and they traveled widely for the
monarchy as governor general of South
Africa and Canada and for their own
pleasure.
She was a notable big game hunter
and once shot A tiger as it sprang at her
She is a favorite of Queen Elizabeth,
who always sends her a telegram on her
birthday Prince Charles once included
her in an opera party of young people
and she was just as vivacious and in-
terested as any of them
Her memoirs are a fascinating ac-
count of royal life in the days when
palaces and castles were as drafty as
they were big and keeping warm in bed
was a major problem She knew Queen
Victoria — her present home is in the
palace where Victoria was summoned
from sleep in 1837 to be told she was
queen
She was Chancellor of the University
of the West Indies in Jamaica for 21
years until black militants objected to
her holding the post in 1970. She
regretted not having a reason to go to
Jamaica Typical of her anecdotes of
six reigns is the time Victoria chided
her daughter Princess Helena for a
plunge neckline "A little rose in front,
dear child." she said, "because of the
lootmen

Gardener says
The first step in conditioning a plant
for the winter should have come when
the plant was purchased. Mrs Charles
Carson told members of Plant and Pray
Garden Club Tuesday
"You should learn about the plant
before buying it," she explained.
Using the book "Foliage Plants for
Modern Living" as a guideline Mrs
Carson outlined steps in preparing
plants for cold weather
Before bringing inside, spray wash
the clay pot and plant by turning it on
its side to rid the plant of insects Store
all empty clay pots upside down.
Once plants are inside spray their
leaves with water from time to time
while watering the plants
Mrs Carson also discussed moving
plants from flower beds into the house,
storage processes, and reminded that
December through February is the best
