of WED" had evinced an almost saw
age dislike to matrimony and had
often exclaimed: Il do not want to
marry unless | can be queen of Rou-
mania" The principally of Roumania
had at that time just been founded and
she believed the remark a sufficiently
safe way to say that she didn't want
to marry at all.
There is a remarkable romance at
taChed, to the fact that some years
later her sutton became Prince Charles
of Hohenzollern, who was refused on
the same fanCiful preteXt that the
princess would not marry unless she
could be the queen of Roumanla. In
1865 Prince Charles was chosen ruler
of Roumania and in the autumn of the
next year he returned TO WED to re-
mind the Princess Elizabeth Of her de-
sire to rule over that kingdom.
Married and settled in the palace at
Bucharest, the princess threw herself
with great ardor into the life of the
country.
She learned to read and write the
Roumanian language. made herself &C
quainted with the needs and require
ments of the land, and became so be-
loved that the people called her the
little mother Out of her Cwn private
purse she founded schools, hospitals.
and art galleries, and devoted pract-
cally her whole life to philanthropy.
Although she had practiced her lit
erary talents in a limited way for
many years, it was not until the death
of her first and only child, at the age
Of 4, that much of her work was pub
lished.
Her husband, King Charles I Of Rou-
mania, died in October, 1914, at 70
years Of age. Since then the queen
mother herself had been in i'll health,
suffering particularly from cataract in
both eyes.

week, we indeed feel fortunate that we
are so well prepared. Our bed depart

specially priced for this week only.
Probably nowhere in the tri-cities
will mothers or "grandmas" find as beau
tiful a variety Of reed carriages and 60
carts as we are now showing. They come
in all shapes, many have reversible
bodies and are finished in white, ivory,
brown, natural or gray. Although hav-
ing all the beautiful and comfortable fea-
lures of the most expensive vehicles, our
large buying power has enabled us to
price them, we believe, much lower than
you will find similar carts priced else
where-compare and see.

buy than now, with spring ap-
