DUAL LANGUAGE MAKES
TROUBLE FOR BELGIANS
FIamands and WaIlons Fight
Over Flemish and French

Two years ago a parliamentary COM
mission was appointed in Belgium TO
inquire into the subject of langua ges IN
Belgium. A great deal of trouble has
been caused by the fact that two Ian
guages are officially recognized in Bel
gium. French and Flemish, and that the
Flamands wish to force their tongue
upon the Walons, who insist upon
speaking French.
The commission now proposes that
six years after the passing of the sug-
gested law no one shall be admitted to
the examinations in arts. law. math-
ematics. physics or engineering who
has not passed a preliminary examina-
lion in French and either Flemish.

QUEEN wLHELMlNA,s PUN.

Queen Wilhelmina is extremely sim

old country palace near the village OF
Apeldoorn. There she has a model
farm and a private flower garden
which she manages largely herself.

pigeons which settle on her shoulders

drop into a hotel or inn for dinner
Not so long ago she and her husband
stopped fo- dinner in a restaurant in
r little village. To their surprise, they
found the bill of fare printed in
French. The queen has always pre-

dishes with impressive French names
she exclaimed: "Oh, It is all "a la this

FAVOR.

Mrs. Taft has taken up the fashion
of using doilies for both the breakfast
and luncheon table. 1t is a plan that
has been gaining favor i'm Europe for
several years and originated with a
Frenchwoman who was proud of her
mahogany table and wished to give
her guests peek at it. There is an
other good reason for the custom. The
dolly takes away from formality and
also permits of more display of the
varied taste of the hostess than the
heavy and conventional tablecioth.

patterns and designs. They may be
worked by the hostess herself and are
