Hollands Day Of State.

Although the Dutch are very demo
cratic they still cling to the pageantry
that surrounds the movements Of their
queen on days Of state. A case In
point being the opening day Of their
parliament, which Is quantity ceremo-
NOUS. The queen rides in a gilded a
riage through the streets OF The
Hague to the old Knights hall In Par
lament square, and with crown on
her head and her gold-braided prince
consort at her side sits on the throne.
At this ceremony the Dutch cabinet
ministers are compelled by tradition
to wear glddy uniforms resembling an
old-time minstrel man In an admirars
hat. After this one day of pomp the
ministers and members OF parliament
put on their working clothes and get
down to business, while the queen,
who prides herself on being q typical
Dutch woman with domestic tastes,
lays her crown aside for another
year.
