QUEEN OF RUMANIA
ENGLISH BY BIRTH

London.-One of the many reasons
for rejoicing here at the entrance Of
Rumania m the war on h side Of
the Allies Is the fact that the Ruma-
MAN queen is an Englishwoman Of
great popularity. Before her marriage
to tho Hohenzollern prince who is now
King Ferdinand, Queen Marie was the
beautiful and popular daughter of the
late King Edwards eldest brother, the
late Duke of Edinburgh. She is still
regarded as beautiful, and indeed with
her husband and W boys and foul
girls is frequently spoken of as consti-
tuting the best looking royal family in
Europe, as well as the most photo
graphed.
Queen Marie is beloved throughout
her country for her generosity and
constant efforts in behalf of the poor.
She is the leading spirit Of the Society
of Goddesses of Pumania, each goddess
acting as a fairy godmother to at least
one poor child. The queen has an odd
hobby in the collection of scent bottles,
of which she has more than 5000.
When aboard her fathers flagship at
Malta Rumania's future queen became
a great faVorite with officers ard sail
ors. She had a great love of helping
the ships cook with his duties. On one
occasion she fried so eggs and slices
of ham and had them distributed
among the men as a token Of good will
