GOSSIP OF TWO QUEENS.

Queen Victoria's family has no lit
tie talent scattered about among its
various members. The RrZ.aress Fred
erick Of Germany shines IN art and
sculpture; the Prince of Wales excells
as critic of both painting and stage
work; Princess Christian plays and
sings beautifully and her daughters
are adopts in embroidery. The queen
herself once drew portraits very clev-
erly and even now plays occasionally
little duets with Princess Beatrice.
Queen Louise of Denmark is often
spoken Of as the "mother-in-law of
Europe" She herself was nearer in
the line of succession to the throne
than her husband when she was mar
ried to him but for him she waived her
right and knowing that opposition
might in the future be raised to the
rule Of monarch not strictly speak
ing in the line of descent she exer-
cised her womanly tact and ingenuity
to secure her husbands position by
making such marriages for her chill
dren as would tend to cement friendly
relationships between the little king
dom Of Denmark and the great coun-
tries of Europe. Her majesty's eldest
daughter married the heir of Great
Britain; the second daughter became
the Empress of Russia; the third is
married to the wealthy Duke of Cum
berland, and, as some would have it,
rightful king of Hanover; her eldest
son is the heir-apparent of Denmark
and the husband of Princess Louise,
daughter of Charles XIV. of Sweden, a
popular marriage which has done more
than anything else to re-establish
friendly feeling between the Scandi-
navian countries, which at one time
were under one rule; the second son
became King of Greece and took his
wife, the beautiful and popular Queen
Olga, from the Russian royal family;
while the youngest son, Prince Waldo
mar, married the daughter of the Due
de Chartres, by whom he became al
lied to the princely house of Orleans.
1t is small wonder that the recent
troubles in the east caused "the moth
er-in-law of Europe" to hold a family
conference.
The robe in which Victoria was
crowned was nine yards in length and
composed of gorgeous gold-colored silk
brocade, with gold and silver silk flow-
ers. 1t was of the same pattern as
that worn by George ". at his coro-
nation. The figures were exceeding
| ly beautiful and symbolic of the coun-
tries over which the young queen had
assumed the scepteT. Around the re-
gal crown were grouped the rose, the
shamrock and the thistle, while the
eagle and the fleur-de-lis were en-
broidered upon the robe in raised
pattern, which gave it most effective
appearance. The queens underdress
was of rich white satin with gold bro
eade, ara similar material was manu-
| featured for the robe of the Duchess of
Kent. At both the coronation and at
| the marriage of her majesty the
| Duchess of Kent chose white for her
| crowns.
