Happily back in Holland after all the fun she and her Prince Consort had in England at the time of George VI's Coronation was Crown Princess Juliana of The Netherlands. She was in such high good humor last week that, stepping to the microphone in Amsterdam, Her Royal Highness became the first Crown Princess, and possibly the first woman, to broadcast the news that she is expecting a child. This Juliana did with becoming Dutch delicacy in these words: "Nooit had iets mij kunnen weerhouden alle deelen van het programma mee te maken, waren het niet-op zichzelf...
...Reporter Paine said that 4,000 spiders of the species Nephila plumipes (who spun the "finest webs") were busy working for M. Grantaire, that he shipped them to customers in "little paper boxes, so many dozen in each crate." that the Queen spider was named "Sara Bernhardt," that her consort, fearsome "Emile Zola," was a specimen of the famed "bird-hunting spiders of Surinam."

Last week portly matrons of The Hague dithered as the Crown Princess returned from her three-month honeymoon radiant and 23 lb. lighter. She and slim, sporting Prince Consort "Benno." who knows his way around Europe's swank pleasure spots, were said on their honeymoon to have "frequently eaten heartily, as both are fond of food, and wanted to try the delicacies of different countries." So perhaps it was pace which slimmed Princess Juliana, whose latest pictures show...
Honeymooning Crown Princess Juliana of The Netherlands arrived in Vienna last week and was entering the dining room of her hotel when she was unexpectedly stopped and embraced with friendly warmth by an Englishman, the Duke of Windsor. Later the Crown Princess was escorted by her Prince Consort to some of Vienna's mellow evening taverns, danced and sipped sour wine in one until 5 a. m. Meanwhile the Duke of Windsor said good-by to his sister, Princess Mary, the Princess Royal (TIME, Feb. 15), who returned to the United Kingdom. A typically Viennese press sensation burst when...
