1t took only ten minutes for Wilhelmina
to share her throne with the man of her
choice and to give to the Dutch kingdom
strong and manly co-soyereign.
But for the enthusiasm of the popu-
lace and the brilliance of the assem-
blage that gathered within the portals
Of the church there was little to show
that this wedding was royal union.
There was sincerity about the whole
affair that is sometimes lacking upon
similar occasions. The happiness that
shone from the eyes of both the queen
and the duke betokened that the mar
riage was union Of two lovers, not a
state alliance for political convenience.
and to this may be attributed the unpre-
cedented spirit with which the home
loving Dutch celebrated the nuptials.
