Housewife Invited To Royal Wedding
WASHINGTON (AP)—Mrs. Louis Guerrieri, 32-year-old mother of four children, is pretty excited about the afternoon party she's going to tomorrow.
The party is in London and it's being given by Princess Elizabeth.
Mrs. Guerrieri is a part-time seamstress. A few weeks ago she took some green taffeta she had been saving for herself, made a dress of it, and sent it to the British Princess, who is to marry Lt. Philip Mountbatten Thursday.
"I read that clothing was being curtailed in England and that her highness' wedding would not be elaborate," she said.
Back came:
1. A thank-you note from Elizabeth's first lady-in-waiting.
2. An invitation to the afternoon party at St. James' palace.
Mrs. Guerrieri had planned to pass up the party until the Washington Post heard about it. Now the Post is going to pay for the trip.
Mr. Guerrieri will take care of the children while his wife is away.
