Belgium’s Queen a Worker.

Carmen Sylvia was not the only queen capable of earning her own living if necessity drove her to such a course. The queen of the Belgians has taken a medical degree at Leipzig, and prior to her marriage assisted her father, Duke Charles Theodore of Bavaria, in £is. practice as an oculist. She is. however, a skilled motor driver, and in the days before the war. used to make a point of doing all the minor repairs to her cars. Another versatile sovereign is Queen Maud of Norway, who paints admirably, trims hats in a style that would Insure her a good salary from any high-class milliner; and is a bookbinder of more than average skill.—London Chronicle
