How she contrives to keep Time at bay is what Ihe feinlntna contingent in a crowd watching her drive by always asks. whether it be in Landon or Paris, Naples or Athens. Fee, barring a judicious and daintily inconspicuous employment of quite le- gitimate cosmetics, the Queen is not artificial looking. Her case is the more surprising for the reason that court life is a foe to geed looks. Royal ladies as a rule fade so quickly that ten years of court lite has about the same effect on a wo- man's beauty as two years at the washtub. wonder and admiration of cheering +:t Denmark to that of England Alexan- dra has seen numberless rivals `[ beauty forced by premature loss et tovellness to resign their claim. T he Empresses of France and Austria were tier contemporaries and their radiance and cameolike perfection of feature all but threw her into the shade. To -day, a forl':rn old woman, Eugenie lives in reiirenient with not a vestige of her rare entering and delicate con- tours left, and on the day on which poor Elizabeth of Austria walked down the quay al Geneva to the spot where the assassin waited far her, dagger in hand, no human being would have dreamed that she had once been tile wonder and admiration of diming crowds, as Alexandra remains to this hcur. In the last decade a dozen young wo- men have come to thrones and never been able to challenge her right to su- Iireutaay. In ore way or another their court earners have reduced thein finally le a bony or an obese commonplace- ness, Even that paragon of physhal perfect• tton the Empress of Russia has wither- ed under the stress of maternal duties and the fears she enduree every day.

Prating by this fact the English Queens linnets pos. sessien of one of the most exquisite and completely appointed dairies in the world. Here every day, when the Queen is at Sandringham. she gets into n big blue linen apron and churns and makes butler herself. Dairy tasks provide the best exercise toe feminine muscles. \Vhen the Queen is through her morning job of butter making she has a luncheon of whole wheat bread and a glass of buttermilk from her own cedar churn. This, she says, is a meal flt for a goddess and lit most wholesome one a pretty wo- man can take, Besides drinktng the buttermilk she uses it liberally as a cosset ee The night before a court function she bathes in a groat bowl of It, her face, throat, arms and shoulders.

At Buckingham Palace and at Wind - set three cows are kept to supply the Queen with fresh milk, which is her favorite drink. No pretty woman, she maintains, can afford to touch tea, cot- fee or chocolate. The first two produee wrinkles and chocolate manufactures fat, as does grease or sugar. Salted butter Is never allowed on her table er in the preparation of her dishes and frequent but very light meals ie one of the means employed for the pre- servation of her looks. Before rising she always eats a few paper thin slices of brown bread spread with sweet cream or new butter. At 11 collies her brealctsst of fruit and a couple of coddled eggs eaten with dry biscuits. The royal luncheon usually consists of n little delicate fish or chicken, one vegetable, a salad and more fruit. With her 4 o'clock glass of milk the Queen eats as a rule a couple of little honey calces, and she never eats the regular elaborate dinner served to the rest cf a tragic mask. High living and too the royal tonally. Sandwiched in he - little exercise have played the mischief iwcen the heavy meat courses conte her with the Queen of I•Ioliand's charms and little private dishes of tiny French oy- sent Marguerite. the Queen Mother cf seers grilled on toast, her celery stew- ed in white stock and her green salad garnished only with oil and salt. Per- haps the most elaborate sweet she ever eats is an apple baked with honey. But before stepping into bed she al- ways has a small meal of milk dashed wtlh sherry and a biscuit or two, and the results of this regimen justify her saying that on diet and fresh air hang an the laurels of beauty. But in the process of taking fresh air Queen Alex- andra sedulously avoids violent or ex- citing exercise. Yachting and driving she enjoys, but she has never cycled, played golf or put a fbali over a tennis net, and in ner opinion persistent automobiling offers the quickest means known for getting rid of a nice complexion and gaining had its reward. 10,000 wrinkles.

But, as the years roll on. Alexandra peeps her figure and her freshness, her grace of mnt'ernent. her smooth cheek, her round throat and full bright eyes, and at threescore and ten drives out with her husband looking very much like an eldest daughter 'teethed of a wife but eighteen months his junior. And perhaps in a dozen years more the Queen of England will visibly change little for the very excellent rea- son that having the blessing of good health and a sense of the value of her tholes she does everything in her power It protect herself from the ravages c f time. fiance she went to London 5. bride she has guarded her physical en- dowments with an intelligence that has more self-sacrificingly than she the rules for beauty's preservation. No one, for example., in or about the court has ever seen the Queen lose her tem- per. Undoubtedly, being the daughter of a pretty strenuous mother, old Queen Louise of Denmark, who ruled her household for more than fifty years with a rod of iron, she has a temper le display if she wishes to give it vent, hitt an ex•maid of honor to the Queen insists that her royal mistress believes that nothing is more disfiguring than an outburst of anger. Then., too, from her youth up she hos at the first hint of indsposdtion taken to her bed and called in her masseuse. No matter hots slight her sense of physical discomfort may be lite Queen adopts this first precaution, for her con- viction is that fatigue brings wrinkles whlrit prompt rest and massage can prevent. Accordingly she always re- gards a tired feeling or a touch of neu- rotgin as an ample excuse for spend- ing half a day in seclusion, No more lying down in a Buffy negli- gee with a novel and a box of bon- bc'ns suffices. She regularly goes to bed in a room 10 which no sounds are allowed to penetrate, and where she can enjoy an abundance of fresh air, There for hours she will lie refereed with her ell Danish maid at the door to preserve het from intrusion. For a cull hour, both before and after a court ceremony, the Queen lies down and is rubbed, and she usually goes to open Parlin.ment or receive at a draw- ing room or lay a cornerstone under the stimulating influence of a special meal.

Then she is swathed like a Turkish woman in yells. Te metering she infinitely prefers swift and frequent walks with her dogs. es often as four times a day, in Lon- don or the country, she goes for a brisk tern on foot, usually with her favorite Russian hound at her heels and a tiny Japanese spaniel under her arm. Just outside the window of her sit- ting room at Buckingham Palace a handsome stone balcony juts. It is fit- ted as a small boudoir and roofed with very wide eaves; is open on three sides to admit all the air obtainable. Here Us mistress reads and works as much ai possible.

By dint of so much care and precau- tions the Queen manages rarely or nev- er to disappoint a crowd awaiting her appearance, and to the people she is always a smiling, charmingly dressed. creature whose consrvative taste in sports and clothes is eminently satis- factory to them. When the English talk of her they never tail to insist that she is the best. dressed woman in Europe. Appreciat- ing her people's confidence in her taste Alexandra spends royalty on her ward- robe, To defray her dress account she lays out close to $30,000 a year, but this includes her purchases of jewels, of which she is very fond, and her ceremonial robes, which must be•enorm- cusly costly, in a private capacity she has puches- r 1 lavishly of diamonds and pearls, and the anaments she weoi:s at a court function sometimes weigh as much as eight or ten pounds.

For peals and diamonds her liking is so strong that she uses no other ornaments. Usually before her photograph is taken she pulls oft her gloves, for of her hands to she frankly proud. This pride In her hands is curiously enough the only trace of anything litre real vanity she has ever been known to show. Famous as site has always been far her looks, she has no touch of the arro- gance common to beauties, This one of her husband's subjecls discovered one day when on business he waited upon a royal personage et Buckingham Palace. By a blunder on a lackey's part he was shown into a room through which the Queen usually passed on her way to her daughter's apartments. A burst cf vivid sunshine and Ilse Queen enter- ed the salon simultaneously, and to the visitor's huge embarassment, for the rcyal lady appeared gowned in the plainest of morning frocks, minus jew- el.; and her famous curly brown false front, which she has 'Worn for years. Before this man and stranger she seem - rd not a whit dismayed. Grayhalred and gentle, she was kindness itself and complete unconcern. \Vhen he explained himself she ac- cepted his apologies and then stood calmly in the fierce light that bents from a springtide morning sky and talked of her grandson's progress al his studies with a sweet simplicity of man- ner that filled the intruder with pro- found admiration and increased enthu- siasm for the flowerlike fineness of her skin, the clearness of her oyes and the redness of her lips, which he maintains, along tvith her lack of self-conscious- ness, would do credit to many a coun- try girl of sixteen summers.

Tho story book of England's heroes was opened recently at a well -thumbed pep whereon In set down one of the most inspiring narratives of courage and discipline in the face cf death, and of duty well done in the hour of greatest peril. The account of lite wreck of the troop- ship Birkenhead, and the loss of 495 ommieers and men of tit) army, and mem- bers of the crew, las been handed down since the fateful Feb. 25, when the 111 - fated ship struck upon what is still called unofficially "Birkenhead Rack," lit Siotoree Bay, South Africa. The other day the story was re -told by one of the survivors, in a box at Drury Lane Theatre, London, immediately after the great wreck scene in 'Sins o Society," which is built around the his- tory of the terrible calamity.

TOM iIOOD'S OLD 1I011ME. The 011 douse el Wanstead Has Fal- len on Evil Days. The disappearance of the house in. which Toni Hood lived at Wanstead, cne of the most picturesque of country dwellings, is now only a matter cf days. The building pies in the midst of charming surroundings. The approach it it from the nearest station, Snares- brook, lies through the well -wooded commons pecullar to Essex, and tate house itself lies back, nestling in a garden of elms and planes and varie- gated eoliths. The design of the gar- den is quaint and old fashioned. A broad carriage road divides on either side of a circular flower bed, and ad- mits one to the mein entrance, a low wooden door. 1'0 lho right of the main block of the building are outhouses with doors lower than the level of the ground, whioh at one time served as kennels, while to the Ieft is a conservatory, Mill tenanted by a few half-forgotten plants. The house has an air of deso- lation and of gloom. in recent limes it has been used as a meeting place for local clubs, and over the door is an untidy notice advertising refresh- ments. All the old paintings and the flee oarved mantlepieces have been. ling removed. The oak floors are scaled and grained with dirt, and the light wood boarding which replaced the grand old mantles adds la the melancholy and sadness of the 'btUkl- ing. Sprigs of ivy are growing through the chinks and crannies rf fha walls, The evil days on which the hoose has fallen are typical of Hood's later lite and of his sad story.

Quite recently the real criminal, arrested for another offence, has confessed his guilt. The second case was the sensational arrest cf Mrs. Trautman in New York on December 27th last. Mrs. Trautman, who is tate wife of one of the most cele- brated specialists in America, was sud- denly confronted in the street by a young man named 1logan, tvho swore she had picked his pocket of $6.

A remarkable case in which the effects of medieval superstition and suggestion are curiously mingled, has come under lho notice of the doctors of tine Rudclf's I-iospital, in Vienna. A Hungarian tradesman named Weiss was recently admitted to the hospital suffering from an Illusion which unused hilt continually to lament the loss of his salvation. It appears that some weeks before Weiss was sitting with friends in a coffee house in Pressburg, when the conversation turned on religion and a fulure life, Weiss declared that mere was no such thing as a future life or salvation, and added: "I would sell my chance or sal- vation for $2.50.” A Jew named Krauss accepted the offer on condition that the transaction was put in writing. A regular deed of salt: conveying Weiss' salvation in the next world to Itrauss was thereupon drawn up, executed by Weiss and duly witnessed. Krauss tool: the deed and handed over the $2.50 to Weiss, who boasted that it .had been easily earned. A fortnight later Weiss lost his wife, who was kilted in a carriage accident. He regarded this (evident as a sign of the Divine anger with Itis impious bar- galn, and the idea so preyed on his mind that his reason gave way, and he was taken to the hospital. Prof. Obermayer, who had charge of 1110 case, on hewing this story from the man's relatives, decided to try the effects of counter -suggestion, and advised Weiss' relatives to recover the deed of sale. Krauss, however, declared that since ha had bought the other man's salva- tion his own business had prospered ex- Coedingly, and he refused to give it up under $200. Weiss was unable to pay this, but finally the chief rabbi of Press- burg, to whom the matter had been re. ported, induced Krauss to hand the deed back to the slot man on meant of $100. The effect was most marked. Weiss, reassured as to the fate of his soul, im- mediately improved. A new deed was drawn up, in which Krauss solemnly teeconvo ed the other- man's salvation to him.
