THE HAGUE, January 7.—The Netherlands’ royal maid, Crown Prin- cess Julians, became the bride of Ger- man Prince Bernhard Zu Lippe- Biesterfeld today amid the rejoicing of 2,000,000 subjects in this land of tulips and windmills. First at & quaint town hall civil ceremony, then in the historic color- splashed Groote Kerk, Juliana and ‘Bernhard pronounced their vows. Radiant in an ivory satin dress sprinkled with orange blossoms, the princess, who is the sole hope of per- petuating the ancient House of Orange, stood 1n the center of & brilliant circle of bridesmaids, their gowns forming a “bouquet” of lilac, orange and blue. ‘The quiet Bernhard, resplendent in the full dress uniform of a captain of Blue Hussars, became by royal éecree coincidence with the vows “his royal highness, Prince of the Netherlands.” Dr. H. T. Obbink, the pastor of the Netherlands Court, told them: “The eyes of the whole Netherlands, the colonies, of Dutchmen throughout the world are fixed on this place. From thousands of hearts prayers are sent to the throne of God that his love and blessing may attend you and all your ways.” Bells pealed throughout the lowlands kingdom as Juliana and Bernhard rode from palace to town hall and then to church in a golden coach drawn by eight proud horses through frantic lines of cheering Dutch folk. And in the little hamiet of Oestgeest “the other Juliana,” whose name really is Petronella Van Der Meer, was wed to Canalman Martinus Van Stijn —the only other girl in all the realm to marry today, because she and the princess were born on the same day and in the same hour.

In the two million who cheered in the streets and watched in town hall and church were 33 members of royal families—called to this “family wed- ding” by Queen Wilhelmina to see her only daughter and her prince pro- nounce the royal “ja’s.” A little room in the town hall was the scene of the civil ceremony. Burgomaster Makes Speech. ‘The burgomaster, after a long- winded speech, pronounced Jullana and Bernhard “your royal highnesses.” The golden carriage then took the couple 100 yards across the street to the Groote Kerk-at just at 11:58 a.m. There, before nearly 1,600 persons, Juliana ahd Bernhard repeated their “solemn vows. Thus twice was the plain and plump Juliana transformed into a glowing, gracious bride. She leaned smiling toward Bernhard in the Groote Kerk as he drew the glove from her hand, then removed his own for the exchange of rings which symbolizes completion of Dutch marriages. She smiled lovingly again upon her prince as Dr. Obbink presented him with a bible—given to Dutch bride- grooms as a symbol of their authority in the household. For the girl who some day will be gueen is sworn to obey her husband— Jjust as is the “other Juliana.” Wears Satin Gown. Juliana’s satin gown, cut in severe lines, gleamed in the lights of the kerk.

B,” Juliana wore a silver robe over her gown. ‘The prince was smiling broadly as the procession moved toward the town hall. ‘Behind the royal coach were three wedding party carriages and then the stately “glass coach” of Queen Wil helmina. ‘With the proud Queen was some one just as happy—the Princess Armgard of Lippe ~ Blesterfeld, Bernhard's mother. Police, struggling against the lines of surging Hollanders, forbade the throwing of flowers. Cavalry and the mounted police es- corts were first to reach the town hall, the white plumes of high brown sha- koes streaming in the wind. Then came Juliana and Bernhard, to be followed by groomsmen, brides- maids, mothers and a host of royal relatives and high personages. e Pacing Room for Fathers.
