Lucy had been sent to New York by

join her, but she chose to remain with
my father and mother and the smaller

A oueenly MiIkmaid.

The Queen of the Belgians and Prin-
cess Clementine, while driving in a
pony cart one day last summer, had a
charming rural adventure, which the
London Post describes: e---
They stopped at farmhouse to buy
a glass of milk. Nobody but an old,
paralyzed woman was in the house,
and she replied that no milk was left
in the jugs, and that she was unable
to go to milk a COW.
Never mind" said the queen; III
you will allow me, will go to the pas
ture. Just tell me where the jugs are"
but, my dear lady, you are from
the town, and you will never be able to
milk a cow" objected the old woman.
She was mistaken, however, for a
little later her majesty returned with
half-flled jug Meantime, Princess
Clementine had laid on the table three
bowls, a loaf and the needful knives
and plates. The old farmers wife was
served by the princess, who, 1t appears,
greatly enjoyed the adventure.
