wearing little apron over d red
dress and her blue eyes sparkled as
she splashed dish water on her
claSsmate.
"IIl poster her with water" she
said in Dutch with a gleeful giggle,
and then proceeded to slosh the
dishrag in the pan. She said she
knew a little English from her stay
irACanada. She and her classmate,
blond curly head, were making a
great rumpus now, splashing water
on each other, running about and
shouting with laughter.
Clean Plate Doctrine
A Dutch friend tells two stories
about the royal youngsters. Once,
a little English girl visited the pal
ace with her parents for lunch. She
was seated at a small separate table
with Trix, Peta and Irene. At the
end of the meal some pudding was
still left on her plate. This Is bad
manners in Holland. Children get
scolded and spanked If they don't
clean up everything on their plates.
Suddenly, Juliana looked over at
the children and burst into laughter.
Her three daughters, with an a11x-
ious look first at the remaining
pudding and then at their father,
had each taken a part OF the Eng
lish child's dessert and were eating
it themselves as fast as they could
so that their little guests plate
would be clean, too, like theirs!
On another day. Prince Bernhard
came home to find his daughters
tearing stamps off pile OF un-
opened letters. Don't tear of the
stamps till the letters have been
opened. You might tear the letters
before we can read them" he ad-
monished. IF you'll leave the
stamps on, I'll save them and give
them to you later"
Then Bernhard added expansive
ly, "and I'll get you an album, too.
You'd like that, wouldn't you?" But
no. They did not want an album
because they were not collecting
stamps. They were merely taking
them to school and selling them,
like the other kids-using the pro-
ceeds to buy candy.
Lunch With the Prince
Prince Bernhard himself appears
to be as democratically inclined as
his royal family. lunehed with him
one day here in The Hague. Franz

Huyler and decided it would be
only proper courtesy If We arrived
before the Prince. So we came to
the restaurant five minutes ahead OF
time. But the Prince was already
there. Our host did not arrive until
10 minutes after we did. Bernhard
was not at all annoyed at being
first there. He was poring over the
contents of a big, black briefcase
as we came in, making good use OF
the time while he waited.
He speaks perfect English and
soon put us all at our ease with
a friendly, informal manner. He
referred to Juliana simply as my

Soestdijk as "our house"

Hollands Ruler About
to Abdicate After
5O-Year Reign
By WiIiiom McGoffin

THE HAGUE, Hol1and.-Juliana
OF Orange will take over a desk
as well as q throne when she sue
ceeds her mother as Queen OF
Holland next month. The desk is a
very important part of the roya.
job in Holland.
The Dutch have a constitutional
monarchy-but the Queen is NO
rubber stamp. Sixty-seven-year-
old Wilhelmina, who is abdicating
after so years on the throne IL
favor of her 39-year-old daughter
has been a Queen in the tradition
of Victoria of England.
just Like Her Mother
One Dutch official, in making this
comparison to Victoria, said of
Wilhelmina, the old Queen used
to know state affairs better than
some of her ministers. have seen
more than one minister tremble
in her presence, because he could
not answer her questions"
Juliana, the Dutchman said, Is
Just like her mother. Now that the
Crown Princess has become Regent.
"she calls cabinet ministers to see
her and asks them very pertinent
questions" And she is knee deep
in papers now. getting ready to
take over the job OF Queen-God
help her"
Juliana's responsibilities ulti-
mately will include not only compli-
Gated affairs of state but the man
agement of her mothers huge per-
sonal fortune, which she will in
herit at Wilhelmina's death. Wilhel-
nina is a multimillionairess and
one of the worlds richest women.
One American in Holland estimated
her total wealth at SITS 100000. In
cluded in her holding is a large
block of apartments in Washington,
and numerous American stocks and
bonds.
Trained for Ruling
Juliana attended the University
of Leiden, in the best tradition of
the Orange dynasty. She majored in
philosophy and literature and, Incl
dentalS, made many friends to
whom she still writes. But it is her
mother who has trained her in the
special responsibilities. For months
at a time mother, daughter and
son-in-law have lived under the
same royal roof at Soestdijk (pro-
nounced Soosdike) so that the
Queen could more conveniently in
struct Juliana.
Like her mother. Juliana married

field, q year younger than Juliana.
was well launched on a business
career before he married into the
Dutch royal family. He was en-
ployed in the Paris ONCE Of the
German chemical company, I. G.
Farben. 1t was a love match, con-
summated in January, 1887, after
the young couple met in Switzer-
land. Bernhard. who will be prince
consort when Juliana becomes
Queen, shares her burdens and ex-
ercises considerable influence over
her-as Albert did with Victoria.
Four Daughters, No Sons
The great disappointment of their
marriage is that they have no sons.
But they have four daughters. And
the Dutch confidently expect them
to give Holland q future king even
after Juliana takes over the throne.
Juliana has known, since child

life as is possible under the cir
cumstanees.
Back in Holland now, all of the
children except the baby princess,
Marijke, who was born February 18,
1947, go to a progressive school run
by a Socialist educator and at
tended by the sons and daughters
of middle-class Dutch families.
Juliana does not like foreigners
to visit the school and talk to her
daughters, because she is afraid
it will give them "a feeling of i'm
portance." I enjoyed the privilege
of visit by pretending that I did
not know the three little girls were
royal princesses. called them
casually by their first names as
do the teachers at the school which
is located at Bilthoven, 5 miles
from the royal palace at Soestdijk
Princess Speaks English
Blond, 10-year-old Princess Bea-
trix, or Trix Van Orange, as she is
known at the school. has none o1
the pretentions of heiress presump-
tive which she will become In
September. She was playing hop
scotch with several little playmates
as 1 came up the walk. She was
dressed very simply in a white
dress, blue jacket, and white shoes
Her blond, bobbed hair was held
in place by an inexpensive pin.
Does any one here speak
English?" I asked her teacher. She
pointed to the princess and said
"Trix here does. She lived In
Canada during the war"
Trix spoke up modestly in Eng
lish pronounced with Canadian
accent, "Oh, but I've forgotten a
Il lot of my English" I asked her how
she liked the school. A smile came
over the pink-cheeked, freckled
face, so much like her mothers,
and she said, quite we'll" I asked
her If she would like to 60 back
and visit Canada. She said she
would.
Sisters Are Different
Trix and her sister Irene, who will
be 9 on August S, are very different.
Irene is extremely shy. In fact, the
sisters were put into different classes
for that reason When Trix first
came to the school two years ago
she did not show the qualities OF
leadership. She does now and has
developed poise and presence far
beyond her years.
When I got to the building where
the lower classes are held ]. dis

hood, that one day she would be
Queen. OF course, she wouldn't
think of refusing to serve. She has
too great a sense of responsibility
to her country. But Wilhelmina
herself publicly confirmed that
Juliana begged for a little more
time, making an urgent request"
that the transfer of power be post
poned till after Wilhelminas jubi-
lee celebrations in September.
Defended for Flight
Wilhelmina has been a bit too
old-fashioned, too straight laced, too
queenly for the taste of the younger
generation in Holland, though she
always has been respected. To
Juliana they have given their love.
Wilhelmina has labored under an
added disadvantage as conse-
Quence of fleeing from Holland to
take up exile in England when the
Germans overran her country. OF
course, Juliana and Bernhard left,
too. But it was the Queen who got
the blame. The people did not
understand at first. They thought
she had deserted them.
The Queen has won them back,
and you now hear stories defend
ing her for the decision she had
to take. One Dutchman declared
that the British Navy only got
Wilhelmina out of Holland by prom
ising to take her to a Dutch island.
After they got her on board they
went full steam ahead for England" "
he said. "The Queen was furious
when she realized what had hap
pened."
Democratic Family
.Wilhelmina, of course, was able
to serve her country much better
outside than as a prisoner Of the
Germans. But she could not get
over the feeling that it was her
duty to remain with her people.
Juliana and Bernhard went to
Canada during the Queens exile.
There, Juliana displayed her pas
sion for democracy by sending her
daughter to a public school. She
demonstrated her passion for the
simple life By moving out Of the
first mouse assigned to her because
it way too expensive"
The Crown Princess often used
to push a baby carriage down the
streets of the Canadian capital
Her third daughter. Princess Mar
griet, was born in Canada January
10, 1943.
They say that Juliana had a

given her determination to raise
her four daughters democratically
and to give them as nearly normal
an education and preparation for
