news to Ireland, says Ti1Bits,
Outside the palace, a dense, excited

gate, which announced that the queen

Britain) was in frenzy Of delight such
as no other event could excite
And so it ever is when the hopes If
nation, often delayed and disapp0int-
ed, are at last rewarded by the corning
of an heir to the throne. 1t was marked
ly so that August day in the year 1880
when Queen Wilhelmina came at last
to throw Holland into a delirium Of de-
light Seldom. If ever, has d royal in
rant been so anXiOusly awaited or so
regally welcomed.
King William had already two sons,
but one of them was drinking himself
to death in the lowest cabarets Of Paris.
the other was doomed to an early death:
and on the little infant all the hopes Of
the house of Orange and of The Neither
lands were painfully focused. If tie
child should be a girl, Luxembourg
which could only have a male ruler
would certainly be lost, but the Dutch
throne would be saved from a German
sovereign.
For months before the event all 4ol-
land was feverishly debating the proba-
biity-would the baby be a hoy or a
girl As happened recently, costly pres
ents poured into The Hague palace from
TAR and near, until the old king declared
IN mock despair, that there would soon
be no room left for him. And when AZ
last the suspense was ended all Holland
went off its head; Il was frankly mad
mad with delight. Thousands went fer
JOY; strangers flung themselves on each
others necks in the streets: cannon
doomed and church bells sent their iubi-
amt peals flying, and the very hea-
Nens seemed to culver under the thun-
def OF cheers for ''the little prinsesie."
