Princess Margaret* had a busy week among the gossipists. First they had her about to be engaged to Prince George of Denmark, 28-year-old military attaché at the Danish Embassy. (He flatly denied it.) Two days later the Sunday Pictorial declared that the No. 1 man in the picture was really the 30-year-old Earl of Derby, "Britain's most eligible bachelor."

The Duke & Duchess of Windsor finally had a U.S. summer home all to themselves—a French provincial-chateau-style affair in Locust Valley, L.I., right next to a golf course. They sublet it for two months. Up from the South, they moved in, then packed their bags for a week in Washington and a houseparty with Railroader Robert R. Young at White Sulphur Springs, W.Va.

* According to the list of royal preferences sent to Australia in anticipation of the royal visit in 1949: Princess Margaret strongly objects to being called Princess Margaret Rose, the name by which she was known as a child.
