The Belgian Royal Family

Tn Brand Whitlocks s story of Belgium in Everybody's the American minister gives some intimate glimpses of King Albert's family. The last time he saw them together before the war was in 1914 on the Belgian national holiday July 2l. when a Te Deum was sung at the cathedral of Ste. Gudule in honor of the founding of the dynasty. /'The royal family made an interesting picture; the King in the lieutenant gem erals uniform he always wears, tall, broad-shouldered, tanned somewhat from his outing by the sea-they had just come from Ostend-behind the thick lenses of his pince-nez the Kings intel Egent eyes were taking in the scene, noting who were there; the Queen, frail, dflicate, with the unconscious appeal of sweet girl ish eyes, and the delicate sensi- tive mouth, had the three royal children beside her. the two princess, Leopold. the Duke of Brakant; Charles. the Count of Flanders, grave fair, slender boys,in broad batiste collars and gray satin suits, and the Princess Marie Jose, with her pret- ty mischievous littpa Face and elfish tangle of crispy curling. golden hair the child that all the painters and all the sculptors of Belgium have por- trayed over and over.

When Riley Was a Boy

Edmund II. Eitel, in Harpers Maga- Zine
 Young Riley did not get on well at
 school, particularly in arithmetic. Lit tie children came and little children went, but I stuck there in the first
 class in numbers he said. T was all ways a good reader, only reading
 counted for little in those days" A significant incident of his boyhood
 was running away from school when "The Death of Little Nel1' was the lesson. Tt was a matter of eternal wonder to me-" he said, "how the other children could go strong-voiced
 and dry-eyed through those tragedies
 that almost broke my heart" The earliest letter that we have shows him as not the most promis- ing boy in the community. Sixteen found him out of school, "truanting up and down old Brandywine" or lost in Longfellow, Trowbridge and Dickens. T read them all day long" he said. From his reading of literature Riley was to secure his real education. Among the townspeople "Jim" Riley came to be known as "do-lessh kind of boy who was "wasting his youth" Manual industry was to the early IlOOSleF SetllerS QuLy 1Qea1Ze0, ana to them idling was a sin more repre- hensible than drunkenness or blas- phemy. "An idler is the sure quarry of the devil" ran the old saying. The boy was not what to so many of his toWnspeople he seemed to be; they were not aware of the world of dreams and hopes behind his mis-
 chievous blue eyes. The youthful Riley learned to play the guitar and
 fiddle" He sang, gave readings at church benefits, and in his time act ed in heroic parts. He drew we'll, but for work with his hands he had little liking or aptitude. It is not strange then, that he earned "a bad name" This word from an early letter shows a plaintive reaction from the super ficial judgment:
 Your father forbds you associating mith me. Well, with his understand
 Ing of my character. he did what wal
 right. We'll, so long as he thinks me
 mean boy, just so long you must
 abide his law, for he thinks it for
 your good. Sometime maybe, can show him my real character"
 And so he loitered his time away along the creeks, or won applause in
 amateur theatricals, or. with one eye haf asquint, poked his face curious ly into interesting happenings of the town.
