drawing rooms during the years of the
war. Since it would be impossible for
so many presentations to be carried out
in the old formal style, the order has
gone forth that there will be series
of afternoon parties, and that the pre-
sensations viii be made in morning and
not court dress.

gested exchange of professorships
not only in colleges but in high
schools.
Student of Medicine
Herself a student of medicine and
the daughter of a world-famed
oculist, the Queen has been fasci-
mated by the hospitals in the United
States and she has lost no oppor-
tunity to visit them. Her greatest
ambition is to have established in
Belgium an institution similar to the
Rockefeller Institution for Medical
Research.
Her Majesty wore a gown of yell
low charmeuse silk, cut in long ana
flowing lines and admitted 1t was
OF her own designing.
what does Your Majesty think
of the trend of modern fashions Tor
women?" she was asked.
"They change so often can't
keep track of them" was the laugh
ing reply. What are they?"
Short skirts came first too mind.
"I do not wear them," she re-
sponded with a shrug of her shoul-
ders. I am always behind the pro-
cession."
Prefers Turbans
The prediction was made that her
preference for turbans would es-
tablish a new millinery mode in this
country, and the Queen explained
why she always wears close-fitting
hats. She originated the style dur
ing the war when she found 1t so
convenient to wind a simple piece
of silk around her hair when she
visited the trenches or the hospitals.
She has become so attached to the
idea that she positively refuses to
abandon it.
After the Kings party had left for
Steelton, Queen Elizabeth, who was

tired and had been resting in her
to go to the Capitol. Mrs. william
Jennings and ex-Mayor ]. William
Bowman, went to the special train
with the committee of women and
met the Queen.
Queen Elizabeth rode with Mrs.
Sproul. wife of the Governor, and
they were followed to the Capitol
by Mrs. Keister. who rode with the
Countess Chimay, Lady-in- Waiting
to the Queen; Mrs. Brand whitlock,
who rode with Mrs. NJ. Z. Olmsted,
Mrs. E. ]. Stackpole, and Miss Anne
Mccormick; Mrs. Francis Jordan
James E. Kemper. Mrs. Will
liam Henderson, and Mrs. Thomas
A. Bradley. The last car contained
Mrs. Jennings and Mrs. Bowman,
who had been detailed by the COM
mittee to take charge of the recep-
| ton to the Queen in case she should
not leave the train with the King,
which Is what occurred.
Given Ovation
Upon their arrival at the Capitol,
the party was given an ovation.
When the Queen stepped from her
machine, she was given series of
cheers, which even outdid the re-
ception to the King an hour before.
The Queen acknowledged this ac-
claim by bowling and smiling. AS she
entered the rotunda of the Capitol,
she was greeted by scores of little
girls and boys, with whom she smil-
ingly shook hands. All along her
path she was besieged by tots anxi-
GUS to shake her hand and in every
case she gracefully bent over to take
the little hands extended to her.
In the House of representatives,
the Queen stood for some time ad-
miring the paintings there. She de-
clared that they were among the
most beautiful she had ever seen,
and seemed to be very much pleased
with the entire building.
No Time to Rest
When she and Mrs. Sproul enter
the head of the party, they seated
themselves in two of the big chairs
which the Governor uses in his con-
ferences, and the Queen expressed
a desire to sit there for awhile and
rest, but time would not permit of
this, shortly the entire party was OH
their way to the train again, arriv-
ing there just before the King came
back from Steelton.
AS the Queen passed from her
machine down the inclined path at
the western side of the station plaza,
the rail was crowded with little chill
dren eager to see Her Majesty. The
Queen stopped and shook hands with
every little boy and girl she could
reach, then went on to her car. She
was evidently very much pleased
with the reception which had been
extended to her. and thanked the
committee for their efforts to well
come her to Harrisburg.
AS the Queen descended from her
car at the station, she personally
thanked the driver, who is chauffeur
for Harry H. Bowman, for the care
with which he had driven her.
Presented With Flowers
Queen Elizabeth was presented
with a big bunch of purple orchids
and yellow roses, tied with Belgian
blue ribbon, with card attached:
ITO Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth
of Belgium, with cordial greetings
and good will from the women Of
Harrisburg"

should be social workers, librarians
and playground instructors"
Women Should Vote
Her Majesty explained. however,
that lack of equality between the
sexes should not prevent women
from voting.
''I know they are best qualified to
select school trustees" she said, "for
they know more about school affairs
and their intuition will tell them
what men are best qualified for office
in the general elections"
Asked how best the women of
America could aid in the reconstruc-
ton of Belgium aside from gifts of
money, she replied:
1T is difficult to bring about a
close understanding between two
peoples who speak different Ian
guages. One way would be for US
Belgians to learn English and you
to learn French"
AS a means to this end she sug-

You cannot overestimate the i'm

clay that cIung above the roots.
Even now, as it chanced, we did
not reach Goshen without further
trouble. Just as we had crossed the
bridge over the canal l, toiling be-
hind, saw in the clear moonlight
young man running toward us. He
was a Hebrew, tall, well-made and
very handsome in his fashion. His
eyes were dark and fierce, his nose
was hooked, his teeth were regular
and white, and his long, black hair
hung down in a mass upon his
shoulders. He held a wooden staff
in his hand and a naked knife was
girded about his middle. Seeing
the chariot he halted and peered
at it, then asked in Hebrew If those
who travelled had seen aught of a
young Israelitish lady who was lost.
eff you seek me, Laban, l am
here" replied Merapi, speaking
from the shadow of the cloak.
What do you there alone with
an Egyptian, Merapi?" he said
fercely.
What followed l do not know, for
they spoke so quickly in their un-
familiar tongue that l could not
understand them. At length Merapi
turned to the Prince, saying:
"Lord, this is Laban my affi-
anced, who commands me to de-
lscend from the chariot and accom-
. pany him as best / can"
"And 1, lady, command you to
stay in it. Laban your affianced
can accompany us"

CHAPTER VII.
The Ambush.

TIGHT full days went by before

The story that the Israelites
had to tell was long, sad also.
Moreover, they gave evidence as to
many cruel things that they had
suffered, and when this was. fin

and others must be called. Lastly,
the Prince seemed to be in no
hurry to be gone, as he said be-
cause he hoped that the two proph-
cts would return from the wilder
ness, which they never did. Dur
ing all this time Seti saw no more
Of Merari, nor indeed did he speak
Of her, even when the Count Amen
meses listed him as to his chariot
companion and asked him If he had
driven again in the desert by moon
light.

was wandering in the town one
day toward sunset, l met her

the other, like a prisoner between
two guards. l thought she looked
unhappy, but her foot seemed to be

stopped to salute her. but La
ban scowled and hurried her away.
Jabez stayed behind and fell into
talk with me. He told me that she
was recovered of her hurt, but that
there had Eeen trouble between her
and Laban because of all that hap
pened on that evening when she
came by it, ending in his encounter
with the captain.

Let the fellow be, friends; he

hurt?"
As he spoke Laban leaped to his
feet and, fearing worse things, fed
away with curse and q glare Of
hate at the Prince.

She glanced at him and burst
into tears.

"0h, your Highness, because l

My affianced, Laban, has a revenge
