BEAUTY RESTORED BY BABY Queen of Holland Looks Like Old Self Since Little Pi -Incase Was Born. - Amsterdam. - Photographs just taken of Queen Wilhelmlna of Holland and her baby tell a wonderful tale of maternal happiness and satisfied yearnings. The baby has changed the queen into a pretty woman again. A few years ago the world was 4 , sti Princess Juliana of Holland. shocked to see that the once lovely and charming young queen had turned into a haggard and prematurely aged woman. The Dutch people saw the change with sorrow and sometimes with in- dignation, for they were disposed to attribute it partly to the misconduct of the prince consort, The loss of the queen's good looks , was without doubt almost entirely due to the repeated disappointment of her hopes of motherhood. The disappoint- ment was, in the first place, natural, such as any normal woman might have felt. This natural feeling was intenst tied by patriotic sentiments. The queen realized that it was her duty to provide an heir to the throne in ogler to preserve the succession in her own Wilily and to prevent compli- cations which the whole Dutch nation dreaded. The queen at her accession was the last member of the ancient royal house at Orange -Nassau who is really Dutch. Thertriffil acendants of the family through the. female line, but they are all Germans or foreigners. The Dutch have always been suspicious of German designs on their country, and apparently with good reason. Now, the nearest heirs to the throne, after Queen Wilheimina are not only German princes, but officers in the German army. It appears to the Dutch that one of these gentlemen, If placed on the throne of Holland, would be very serviceable in adding the coun- try to Germany. A rather astonishing but very pretty scene occurred the other day. Two high dignitaries of the court, the Baron Snouckaert de Schauburg and the Dowager Baroness de Harden- brock de's Heerartsberg and Ringers. bacht (born countess of Limburg -Stir - um) entered to announce to the queen the arrival of a great political officer, the Baron SchimmelpenInck Van der Oye, president of the states general. who came for an audience with her majesty by appointment. These great personages were sur- prised to see her majesty the queen of the Netherlands crawling about on her hands and knees on the Boor with the little Princess Juliana, heiress to the throne, on her back. The queen was playing gee -gee with her baby. It is this sort of thing that pleases the Dutch. The happy feeling among the people has had much to do with restoring her good looks and good spirits to Queen Wilhelmina. She is made happy not only by mother love but by the thought that she has done her duty to her country, the ancient home of liberty in Europe. Appendicitis Is Contagious. London. -Dr. Donald Hood, writing to the Lancet. propounds the theory that appendicitis is contagious. , He says: \If the disease is due, as I believe, to the effect of microbe influence, the' micro-organism may under certain conditions be conveyed from individ- ual to individual.
