country", Wallace said as he
pushed through arrangements
to sell his Mayfair home.
"1 have kept my plans quiet
because people might say: 'Ah,
there goes the disappointed
lover. But of course that's not
true.'*
Wallace, 33. hopes the country life will speed his recovery from an old kidne ailment.
THE COUNTRY PARSON
"The fellow   who comei
ehurth   weekly   goes   away
itroafer."
Armstrong-Jones took
royal fiancee for a drive
through London in this afternoon's bright sunshine. The
princess then headed back to
Clarence House to look over
first sketches for her trousseau.
Norman Hartnell, a royal
dressmaker for more than 20
years, worked alone all day in
his Mayfair salon on water
color drawings of the gowns
for Margaret and her bridesmaids.
The next question ts what
the bridegroom will wear.
Armstrong-Jones will be the
first royal bridegroom in at
least 100 years who is not entitled to a uniform. A case of
polio left him with a slight
limp, and he never served in
the armed forces. j
One authority suggested he
might wear court dress. But
Armstrong-Jones likes to dress j
informally and might not take
kindly to velvet knee breeches,
silk stockings and buckled
shoes. r
The alternative is full
morning dress—frock coat and
striped pants—the regular outfit for thousands of British
bridegrooms., '
