“| Loved You'— Margaret Sits Drea Cushion as Frankie S
Rests at His Feet During Party
By ROBERT MUSEL United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, July 14—Princess Margaret sat on a silken cushfon at the feet of Frank Sinatra early today and dreamily closed her eyes while he sang her a dozen songs. “If I Loved You” and “My Foolish Heart” were among them. About 100 other guests lounged on cushions in the garden of the sumptuous town house of Lady Olive Baillie, sister of Jock Whitney, while rain pattered on the huge canopy overhead. The princess asked for the two songs as special requests. Mr. Sinatra was a guest at the party. He is playing at the London Palladium. He is one of the princess’ favorite - entertainers. It was their first meeting.
” ” » MR. SINATRA refused to discuss the party. But guests said he was floored by the Princess’ knowledge of popular music and her concern over a‘throat condition that bothered him in New York. “She told him not to overwork,” a guest said, “and that she had an excellent collection of his records.” 0 Mr, Sinatra came in for some kidding from guests who included the Duke of Marlborough, the Earl of Carnarvon and the Marquis of Queensbury, The kidding stemmed from an offer by South African bookers to pay Mr, Sinatra in dia3 monay.
