at the head of the cradle is a full siZ
ed angel of silver, and at the foot a
silver baby of equally life-like proper
tions.
From the women of The Hague will
come the Christening robe of white silk,
with it's jewelled embroidery and cid
erdown, and its buttons of diamonds,
and the wives of the cabinet ministers
are making the satin cushion upon
which the baby will be laid as soon
as born, so that, according to old Gus
tom. it may be shown to the cabinet
ministers and they may certify that
it is a genuine prince or princess.
On that matter of sex Holland has
quite made up its mind. Every gift
that will go into the layette bears a
blue ribbon. The baby is to be boy
Holland is to have a prince and later
a King.
Yet no king could be better loved
than the Little Queen. as she is called.

of her people show more strikingly

only natural that bachelors should

reflection that should give them pause.
However much more charming than
the girl Of twenty the woman Of forty
may be, there remains a strong prob
ability that she may not keep her
charms so long. That fact, also, should
certainly be borne in mind by Coelebs
in search of wife.
No amount of washing of the hair
will keep it clean If dirty brushes are
used, yet persons otherwise fairly neat
are careless in this respect, says an ex-
change. A specialist says that hair
brushes should be washed once p week,
and IL used on hair in which there Is
much dandruff, twice a week is not too
often. The brushes should be washed
in cold. not hot, water, to which cloudy
ammonia has been added in the pro-
norton of a scant tablespoonful to
quart of water. Care should be taken
not TO wet the backs of the brushes,
and when washed and rinsed-a good
way to rinse them properly is to use
a shower spray on them--they should
