THE LITTLE GIRL COULD COME IN.
Emma, Queen-Mother of the Netherlauds, is the subject of many stories in 'lire own country, where the people adore her. During the time when she acted as regent before the present Queen Wilhelmina came of age, it is said that one morning Queen Emma was awakened by a peremptory knocking at her bedroom door. "Who is there?", she asked. A precociously dignified voice answered: "The Queen of Holland." The QueenMother quietly answered: "I am not dressed, and therefore not able to receive her Majesty; but, if it is mylittle girl, she may come in."
