HOLLAND'S QUEEN INCREASES LOYALTY

The Countess' of Dudley, like the Duchess of Marlborough and the Duchess of Westminster, is now enjoying a semi-detached existence, as all efforts to bring about a reconciliation between her and the Earl have failed. Hope, however Jias not been abandoned by the fami.lb'iat the couple may be brought together again, although it is said that the Countess' provocation has been long and frequent. The custody of the children is divided between them, and when the Earl eccupied Whitley, the family Countess traveled abroad or visited. A short time ago their second son met with a serious accident while out hunting and was unconscious for three weeks. It was thought this would result in a reconciliation, but although the Karl and the Countess visited the boy daily, they so arranged their visits so as not to meet. When the Countess married Earl Dudley she was considered to have made a great catch, for she was plain Miss Rachel Gurney, and was quite jvithout fortune. The Earl is very clever and extremely popular.

Origin of King's Counsel. . King's counsel has the great Bacon as the founder of the order. He had no Inclination to he made- a "serjeant" and persuaded Queen Elizabeth to appoint him "queen's counsel extraordi- ' nary." James I. granted to Bacon a pat.ent, confirming his status as "one of our counsel learned in the law." as ; K. C's are still officially designated. An annual salary of 40 was originally attached to the position and was received by all "silks'' down to 1831. when parliament abolished the salary, toeether with the allowance for sta

tionery and bags.' -Th receipt of a

-salary by K. C. s meant that they - had accepted an office of. profit under the crown and those vho were members of parliament had to seek re-elec-tlon. London Tatler. " "

Queen Wilhelmina is constantly increasing her hold on the affection and admiration of her people. She has been from the first, one of the most popular rulers in Europe. But this was due largely" to sentiment. Of late years she has shown an expanV ing ability in statesmanship and the Dutch are exceedingly proud of her some going so far as to compare her with Elizabeth and Marie Theresse. That she makes a close study of the affairs of her country was clearly shown on the occasion of the recent opening of the Dutch Parliament w:hen she delivered her speech fro mthe throne. In this speech she proposed the introduction of a measure for the reclamation of the Zuider Zee. The Zuider Zee was originally lake and her scheme is to make it so

across the entrance to the Zuider Zee Ji.O and $J.Z5. and then build three dykes around

the coast of the Zee. If the Queen's project goes through it will reclaim an area of 2.027 square miles ol land at an estimated cost of
