and photographs Of this beautiful wo-
man made years ago never look old
fashioned or out of date.
The portrait of her by winterhalter,
made just after she was married,
though presenting her IN the crinoline
OF the time, shows the elegantly dress
ed woman even to the critical eye Of
today. for the keynote Of her taste Is
simplicity, and that Ia the one thing
that never grows old fashioned.
Though In the sixties, the queen has
still a perfect figure, which is always
dressed in long lines to accentuate
Its height, whether in her coronation
robes or in simple tailored waist and
skirt. The queen disdalns furbelows
Of any kind, and MANY another queen,
piling the Ossa of trimming on the
Peiion Of frills, has wondered why
she could not achieve the distinction
Of the British queens simple attire.
OF late years the queen has dressed
almost entirely in mauves. violets and
grays or black and white, but her IA.
vurite colors are pale pink and blue,
and these are always introduced In
her apartments wherever she may be
staying.
The accompanying cut shows one
Of her favorite sitting rooms done
In white and pale pearly gray silk.
The rug and draperies introduce the
pink and blue, and, as In all apart
ments of the queen, there are quanti-
ties Of flowers. The plants in this
room rest In gray wickerwork jar
dinieres. The furniture is Of the first
empire. the screens and pillows In
brocades showing pink and blue on
gray foundation. The whole shows
the perfection of refined simplicity.
