and she is an accomplished vio1iniSt.
She also plays the piano and mandolin
with much ability. 1t is said that she
has a marked preference for the old
repertoire. but confesses to abominat-
ing Wagner. Some years ago she de-
veloped talent as dramatist and in
1906 wrote "ROsamond," play which
was produced in Brussels in March
of that year and caused a decided
stir in the Belgian capital. She is
also a skilled hOrsewoman.
During the war the queen nursed
many wounded soldiers. A daughter

Of sixteen and took her degree of

Queens Charities Unbounded.

the Belgians to be literally unbound

at the opera Of Brussels is said to
have benefited from her generosity
without being aware Of the fact. for
her gifts are usually made annony-

An instance Of the queens kind
heartedness Is related by the townfolk
of Laeken. One cold. rainy morning
before the war the queen was driving

out Of her car, stepped over to tho
woman and asked her II she was not
cold. Receiving affirmative reply,
Elizabeth took off her own waterproof
and placed it over the old woman's
back. Then. taking out her purse,
she gave her several gold coins and
took her address. SO that she might
continue her benev0lence. Many In
cidents of this type have long since
endeared the queen to the people of
Belgium.
Intensely practical. Queen Elizabeth
has sought to educate her people in
domestic economy and other useful
arts She founded a training school

Valiantly Fought Invaders.

Then came the war. The King of the
Belgians might have yielded and es-
capped much Of the hardship and suf-
ferfng that was the lot of himself
and his people for more than four
years. Needing not the specious prom
ises of the Germans TO pay Belgium
huge sums for the privilege of cross
ing her soil to attack France. the gal
liant king rallied his army of 100000
men and placed himself at its head
to fight the invader. When the Ger
man armies violated at Wise the neu-
trality of the little nation they were
pledged TO protect they met with the
most stubborn resistance from the
valiant. but numerically inferior Bel
gians at the forts of Lieee and Namur.
During the great conflict King Al
bert spared himself none OF the rigOrs
of the soldier. Often he exposed him
self to she'll fire and aviatorS' bombs
burst about him. Once a German shell
tore of the wheel of the automobile
in which he was riding. At another

life and futile efforts were made by
his ministers to induce him not to
expose himself.
