Queen Wiihelmina of Holland sent
for a famous London photographer to

such commission he had received from

Wilhelmina said, delightedly: why,
this is a much better picture of me
than you took before! ! wonder why
that is?" Your majesty has now d

One of the most interesting side lights

furnished by an incident of her y. a.

A Fuel From Peat.

Walter Schumann, consul at MainZ,
Germany, writes thus to the state de
partment at Washington: 'OSmOn, Il
new fuel, is made from peat. The peat
used contains 90 per cent of water, of
which 20 to - per cent is removed by
means of an electric current. The peat
is then further dried and passed
through n machine which breaks it up
and forms it into briquettes or nut
shaped pieces. Osmon is free from sui

happy as when ShS- FAAhbANhS'

pany and is a. genial a host as Mrs.
Fairbanks is a hostess. There are few
more popular entertainers at the ma
tional capital than these two, and this
fact IS due more TO q geAu!ne kindlineSs
than to any other cause. Mrs Fair
banks shines quite as much as a social
leader as she does I'm her more con
spicuous public position as president
general Of the Daughters OF the Amer
lean Revolution, a position she has held
for two terms, the constitution OF the
order having been altered especially TO
permit the innovation OF a second term
in her favor
Though few women are better known
socially all over the country than is
this very tactful woman, she has still
managed to subordinate herself in all
things OF which her husband has q
part. Therefore, although she is a
trained politician. II is not as an az
gressive personality that she impresses
one, but rather as sweet and gracious
and one more likely TO be interested in
the newest modes than in political mat
tiers.
It IS with Washington that Mrs. Fair
banks has become most closely identi-
fed since her husband was sent to CON
gress, and in their beautiful home at
1900 Massachusetts avenue she has
entertained constantly every season.

She made a sensation. but not the

Surgical institute. 1t was known that
Mr.. Allen was devoted TO her, but the
