The last few years have been u IN
happy ones indeed for the lovely and
good Amelie, the former queen of
Portugal. As every one knows, her
husband, King Carlos, and the crown
prince were assassinated while she
was driving with them in the streets
of Lisbon In 1908. The expulsion re-

monarchial government was replaced
by that of a republic is another bitter
blow to this much tried m
Queen Amelie, the daughter Of the
Comte de Paris, was brought up In
Royal unions are not always love
matches, but the marriage of King
Carlos and Queen Amelie was an ex-
ception. There ts a pretty story about
this royal courtship. 1t seems the
then Duke of Braganza was distinct

a wife. One day a portrait of Princess
Amelie d'Orleans was placed in his
way as, If by accident, and the duke
was Immediately fascinated. Personal
| acquaintance Increased the attraction,
and eventually the young couple were
| married at Lisbon in 1885. The mar
siage proved a happy one, for the royal
pair were as devoted to each other
on the day of the kings death as In
the first years Of their union.
Until recently Queen Amelie was
much beloved by the people Of her
adopted country. She studied medi-
| cine so as to understand hospital work
| and general nursing and was untiring
in her efforts TO improve the public
health. The higher education of WON
en- enlisted her warmest support, and
she was never happier than when 60

Lisbon.
Queen Amelie was considered the
best gowned of royal women, and b

was q room set apart where hats and
bonnets were continually In course
of construction, and thereby hangs q
pathetic story.

surrounding some object. The queen
sent the footman to see what vas the
matter, and when he reported that a
young woman had tainted she immedi-

unconscious girl taken to a neigh
boring shop and personally attended
her professionally. The queen had the
young woman removed to her own
home, had inquiries made about her
and learned the poor girls history.
! She was a milliner and, having failed
to get employment, had ventured to
undertake work on her own account
for the support of herself aid her in

Queen Amelie sent at nee some nee
