 Queens Secret Discovered
 At last I have discovered how it is that Queen Alexandra. who has just celebrated her seventieth birthday, man. ages to retain the appearance of youth The problem is solved by electric mas- sage. Her majesty pays regular sal ary of $26O0 per annum to a well known lady doctor for treating her daily. This electric massage Is applied to not only her face but to every part of her body and with the most amazing results. Her beauty and her youth are the marvel of all Europe and there is not so- ciety woman here or on the continent who has not moved heaven and earth to get to the bottom of the secret. When they have not succeeded they have said she was enameled and used all sorts of the most expensive makeup. Now, as a matter of fact, the Queen never has put a particle of rouge or any other pigment on her face, which is as nat ural looking today, by all accounts, as when she landed on these shores over 50 years ago. What she has done to retain her looks has puzzled too the greatest beauty experts of the world. The amazing part of it all is that it was the Queen herself who realized that this electric treatment would be bene- ficial and the lady doctor who oper- ates for her was at first afraid to ap- ply 1t on the royal patient until her majesty said she would take all risks.
 There was only one person in the know besides the operator. that being Miss Charlotte Knollys, the lifelong confidante of her majesty, and for years the dressers of Queen Alexandra have been burning with anxiety to get at the secret One more daring than the eth CTS hid behind a screen and discovered what was being done.
