Expect Princess and Lt. Mountbatten To Marry in Fall LONDON, July 9. royal announcement was expected momentarily today that Princess Elizabeth, heiress presumptive to the throne, would be married this fall to Lt. Philip Mount- batten, who renounced a Greek title for a 'minor commission in his prospective father-in-law's navy. Mountbatten drove into Buckingham Palace grounds during the afternoon past hundreds of Britons who had congregated expectantly.

He was reported on an ''extended summer leave" from his navy post at a west coast training station. Afternoon newspapers anticipated the announcement with headlines that delighted romantic Britons who have taken the popular couple to their hearts. The authoritative British Press Association said it had learned "from official sources at Buckingham Palace this afternoon that ah authorized statement will be made within the next day or two regarding reports of the betrothal which will clear up the whole matter." The Princess, handsome and Democratic, turned 21 last April. Her prospective groom, who would become a Prince consort in the same manner as Queen Victoria's Prince Albert, is 26. MR.

That's why the American Gem Society frowns upon the term "blue-white" when referring to the diamond. The blue-white legend may be accounted for by the fact that all diamonds break up white light into the rainbow colors of the spectrum thus giving forth flashes in reflected light. Consequently, the American Gem Society tells us when you examine a diamond in the light reflected from a blue or a bluish light, it will appeal to be bluish in color since a diamond reacts like a mirror and will reflect the color against which it is seen.

We examine your diamonds instead under a diamo- lite, an instrument providing a controlled source of light for such examination and so constructed as to prevent unwanted or falsifying reflections.
