The Figaro tells a rather amusing story
abour the young Queen Wilhelmina OF
The governess of her majesty, an Eng
Hsb lady, Miss Saxton Winter, had given
the little queen, as an extra task, the
craving and coloTinG OF q map of Europe,
because she had not known her lesson in
Turkish and Chinese geography as well
as the governess deemed she ought to
have done. The Queen agreed to do the
extra task imposed on her, saying: Very
well. [ will do the map, because 1 mean to
be obedient. But-you will see!"
In due course the map was drawn and
colored and handed to the goVerness.
The young Queen had made the British
Isles very small, about the size of the
Faearic Islands, and had covered them
with London fog colored paint. But
Holland on the contrary, was of enor>
nous size. occupying = large part of the
space which in ordinary maps is sea. This
immense tract of land was glorihed in
the most brilliant Colors. Miss SaXton
Winter laughed. The young queen was
delighted with her joke, and the map was
passed around the court.

to the New York sun as follows: The

arstocratic type. Southern women, by
csstors Of birth and breeding, added to
generations of luxury, are indubitably
arstocratic in outline and bearing; but

high-bred, seIf-conscious where she would
