She.was alréady the head of all the more im- portant charities .of Athens, but her work has always been very quiet and generally very little known or ap- preciated. -During the twenty-eight years that she has been first' crown princess of Greece and then queen of the Hellenes. she has been rather a negative figure. On the declaration of the blockade, however, she took up the active or- ganization of the relief work among the blockade sufferers. To do this she had at command the committees of all the numerous charities she has established in the Greek capital as {well as the central committee of the National League of Reservists, the mutual benefit organization of the veterans of the two late Balkan wars. The committee of the reservists’ league set about collecting subscrip- 'tions: under the patronage of the queen, tapping every ‘well-to-do Athenian family and even approach- ing the neutral diplomatists for funds distribution of the funds so collected |1s being conducted by the hospital committee to the sick and by the com- ‘mittee to the sick and by the come mittee for the ‘assistance of working women to the needy. -Queen Sophie herself personally follows and directs all the work and makes large ocon- tributions to it from her private purse. Was Little Known to People. Outside her Mttle known charities, the Kaiser’s sister has never before oceupied much of a place in the "I hearts of’ the Greek people. The king, as persbnal commander in chief of the army, the victor in two * suc- cessful wars and a man of great per- sonal ..magnetism, has completely ovérshadowed hi royal consort. ‘While in e shop, cafe and office in Greece there hangs a portrait -of King Constantine, portraits of Queen It has only been since her active work in behalf of the blockade sufferers that there have appeared generaily in the Athens shops calendars with the queen’s picture on them, as well as the familiar ones bearing the king's plcture. Nor does the Kaiser’s sister take a very active part in the social life of Athens. The king and queen dine once a week regularly with the king's brother Prince Nicholas, and his wife the Princess Helen. After dinner there is usually a party at which the diplomatic corps and the best Athen- ian society ure gathered. The king remains all evening, even in the busiest tim but the queen rarely stops after dinner or takes any part in the gaities. She receives no one save where official etiquefte: renders an audience impe Her last formal audience was given to the:Ger- man minister and his staff, just be- fore their leaving Greece on Novem- ber 22, last. When they had depart- ed she wept as the German diplo- matic ‘mission in Athens constituted the sole remaining link connecting her with her brother, Emperor Wil- llam of Germany. The royal family of Greece is very clannish, and there are frequent fam- ily reunions at the houses of the king’s numerous brothers. Qteen Sophie seldom attends these. Her pet charity is her shop in which the home work of Greek women is sold. But her sister-in-law, the Princess. Alice of -Battenberg, the wife of the king’s brother Prince Andrew, runs a shop of the same character, in competi- tion with the queen’s just across Con- stitution square from Queen Sophie’s. In the Princess Alices shop all the models are American—for hats, fine women’s underclothing, dresses and other feminine nick-nacks. The American fashion papers set all the Princess Alice’s styles, and it is source of great pride to her that every ar- ticle sold in her shop that is not reproduction of characteristic Gi costumes or peasant women's designs. to assist the blockade sufferers.
