s'LIttIe Queen, of the Netherlands

From the Dundee Advertiser
Queens are invariably exempt from the
mystery that wells the age Of women.
and they can never abate a day from the
cold calculation of the calendar. Wilhel-
nina. Queen OF the Low Countries. was
twenty-seven the other day, and has
reigned for nearly seventeen years, the
arst eight OF which were under the guii
ance OF her mother. a princess Of Wal
deck Pyrmont. and sister OF the Duchess
OF Albany.
For six and a half years the Queen OF
Holland has been wife TO Henry. Duke
OF Mecklenburg. prince des Pays Bias"
as he was formerly styled on the occa-
sion Of his marriage. Queen "Wilhel-
mientje," as she is known TO her sub
jects. has many hobbies: her dairy at
Het Loo is one of them. Her majesty is
a practical dairymaid. who can milk a
COW. churn the butter. and make il into
the deftest pats The dairy began by
being "A hobby. but so successful did IL
become that Il Is now run as Il paying

The Queen is very fond OF music, and
has organized Il series of "slum con-
certs" TO brighten the lives Of her poorer
subjects During the winter In The
Hague these concerts, which are given
In large halls by excellent singers and

FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

The woman who IS silly enough TO try
10 live up 10 masculine ideas Of woman
hood. individually expressed. deserves
what she usually gets-nothiug. Men fol-
low pure fancy when they give their hearts
and forget all about their ideals till the
romance wears away Then they some
times Try to pun their poor wives up 70
the pedestal. with varying success, you
may well believe.
A young man who married rather
plain woman for her money tried this
trick and succeeded for n time till his
wife had her eyes opened by 4 friend. "a
n matter Of fact. He made her wear duh
colors and unbecoming styles, and pull
her hair back from her face TIL she could
hardly close her eyes. She was a fright
OF course, and when ne took her 10 par
ties Ike a dutiful husband she was left
TO mediate in corners. while her liege
lord fiirted about with the most frivolous
looking women he could find
why do you wear your hair so plainly
dressed?" asked an inquisitiye friend, who
knew her well enough 10 take liberties
To please my husband" was the meek
reply. Please him. 'scoffed the friend.
why, ne told ME that Blanche Longs
fluffy pompadour was the most fetching
style IN the room. My dear, let me give
you a word Of advice Get some pretty

That husband of yours may mean well,
but he is certainly depriving you Of your
right to have your share Of pleasure in

The Obedient wife cast a medltative
glance toward the opposite side of the
room, where her life partner was APP
parently absorbed in the chatter OF
much befrizzled girl She was not the
least bit jealous. but for the first time
she had a feeling of rebellion against the

bdtu ACTUALLY passed. iicE on the street
without a sign of recognition.
1 believe that he had something TO say
about his disappointment at the change
and much TO say Of his ideas Of what a
woman should be. but she laughed at him
good-naturedly but persistently. She went
20 party that night and had the best
time she could remember. while her hus-
band sulked bit over her social success
and wondered at the change IN her. I
believe he felt a little Jealous of her and
/ am sure that she rose several degrees
in his estimation because she was at
tractive 10 others. She allowed him 10
have ideals, as many as he creased, but
never again did she attempt to live I'D TO
them, for she had acquired wisdom. She
began to understood that while a man
admires tall women he is likely to fall
in love with a short one or forsake a
beauty for a woman OF plain face. In
fact. she now asserts that the average
man does not know his own mind, so let's
some woman settle important matters.

made in gold or silver. and set with a

Home the Center of Happiness.

From the Pail Mall Magazine.
The secret Of happiness In every life
is TO be doing what you feel you can do
best. and to have your own inglenook.
To do what you can do best includes the
entire gamut from housekeeper to social
queen. though l should like to turn the
gamut upside down by putting the home

Orange Blossoms ImpracticnbIe.

The average bride would as soon dis
pense with the Lonengrin or Mendelssohn
marches as she would be married without
a spray of orange blossoms on her gown
or in her bouquet. Unfortunately, the
natural orange flower is too perishable
10 even form a bouquet but real flowers
can be combined with the artificial va
riety for trimming on the gown or veil
and can help to make up an attractive
bouquet with lilies OF the valley. gar
denias, orchids. or whatever white flower
is carried. Care must be taken that
orange blossoms are purchased. not lemon
blossoms. which look so nearly the same,
and which grow so much more luxuriantly
and are, consequently, far less expensive.
One Of the greatest conveniences for the
present day bride IS little book entitled
The Bride Elect" This volume, attrac-
lively bound In white and gold, is intend
ed as a record OF everything connected
with the affair from the betrothal 20 the
list of wedding gifts This list is OF i'm
mense service for in the book the pres
ents are registered as they arrive with
the name and address Of the donor Of the
gift and description Of the article, whether
or not marked, the store from which Il
was purchased and whether or not ac-
knOwledged. IL each gift as received IS
duly registered there viii be little diff
iiculty In keeping straight the most nu-
erous collection. Then, too, If there are
duplicates of the one piece and one Of
them is not marked it can be returned
and changed without difficulty. or If lost
or broken can be replaced at once. Some
OF the bride books have also lists for the
wedding guests. and, while 1t is nice TO
have in this memento Of the wedding a
list Of al those who accepted and were
present. still in the case of large re-
ception this is impossible. and it is well
to keep the list quite separate and dis
tiIict. especially as it can serve for some
time with a little judiciOus wedding as a
