been of greatest importance to the war work of Rumania, in which she has been a leader.
 One of her greatest contributions to her adopted country was her interest in the revival of Byzantine art, which marked the closing days of the last century. From her Russian grandpar- entS she had inherited a fondness for Byzantine luxury, as well as the wherewithal for satisfying her taste. Her love of beauty and her artistic, although eXtravagant personality, was expressed in her Rumanian castles. The famous golden chamber in one of them has walls of gilt A golden throne under a golden canopy is her own special seat and is placed under the dome ceiling facing the deep-set painted windows. There is a gold table covered with precious boxes and richly bound books and frames of chased gold In the corner stands a spinning wheel, inlaid with gold and set with precious stones, and over the grand piano is thrown a heavy cover Of cloth of gold, embroidered with ascension lilies, her favorite flower
 She loves to dress in the gorgeous Byzantine costume of the olden days and has endeared herself to the Ru- n1anians by often appearing in public in their national dress. When she is at her mountain home she sometimes wears the ordinary peasant dress and has had a whole room furnished with native pine wood, inlaid with strips of silver, the handiwork of the Ru- manian craftsmen.
 Many are the pretty tales they tell of her acquaintance with the peasants. She has always loved to go among them, to become acquainted and to help them when she can. While one might wonder if her pleasure were in "playing lady bountiful," the kindly observer will give her the benefit of the doubt.

Dancers Best Nurses

Be this as it may, it is certain that the Queen has been a sincere and devoted worker for and with her peo- ple during the war. Whatever there may have been of superficiality in their relations has dissolved before the demands of war that all should work together with one heart and with one purpoSe. Like many a woman in various countries who before the war, was merely a society leader and used rn boundless energy in keeping up with the social whirl, she has thrown herself whole-heartedly into the work of the last four years. It has been said that of the Parisian women who were madly dancing tango and one sten when the call to arms came in August. 1914, those who had tangoed best nursed hardest.
 rTrue it is that Queen Marie has been tireless in her efforts to alleviate the suffering of her people and to keep LID the morale of the little nation, which was fighting against great odds.

 The following suggests Chinese Sub- tlety and suggests that some of our vaudevillians must have drawn upon this book:

lar. you might get out a hundred Sill yer dollars. There does not seem to have been any regularity about the jars multiplying qualities. Sometimes it might multiply by two, again 1t might multiply by a hundred.
 At any rate the owner of the magic jar was getting rich fast, when a greedy judge somehow got wind of the strange affair. Accordingly he brought some kind of a false charge against the man and made him bring the Jar into court Then the judge pretended that he could not decide the case and would keep the jar. So he took it to his own house and began to profit by it's labors.
 Now when this happened the friends of the mistreated man began to mur- mur. Failing to get any satisfaction from the judge, they appealed to the judges father. You may be fifty or seventy years old in China, but If vour father is living, you are as much subject to his orders as if you were only ten; this Is the case just as long as both live.
 When the father spoke about the complaints of the people the judge lied about the jar. but not in way to

 The son did come but when he pulled out one father, beholdi there was still another in the jar, and then another and another. He pulled out one father after another till the whole room was full of fathers, and then he nlled up the yard with fathers, and had Six or eight standing like chick. ems on the stonewall before the pro. l1hc old jar would quit.

Devoted to Her Children

Such were the incidents preceding Queen of Rumania. At the time, Marie was deeply in love with her husband, but she soon learned of her rival. All her passionate tenderness and remark able beauty were insufficient to win his affection, and even her children did not change the situation.
 In desperation she left Bucharest, fitted from court to court and ire quented the gayest spas and casinos She took delight i'll amorous conquests. Whether she had purpose in pursu ing this course will never be known Be that as it may Ferdinand eventu- ally woke up to the fact that his wife was attracting attention from men everywhere, and his indifference changed to a most intense and jealous love. One moment, it is said, he was raging and storming and the next he was on his knees pleading with her. ~
 But her ardent love TOT him had long been cooling, and he could not coax it back, so that the marriage was never blessed with complete happi- ness.
 The Queen is devoted to her chil- drCn, and one of the great tragedies of her life is the death of a son, just before the first retreat from Rumania of the royal family. She has had each one taught 8 trade. and her oldest and favorite son, Carlo, is an amateur printer of some repute. On his press he prints some of his mothers literary productions, among which are several books written for her children.
 Besides writing, Queen Marie is an accomplished musician, both as pianist

 A Chinaman had magic jar. And when you think of a jar in China do not think of one of the tiny affairs such as Americans use A jar there means a big affair, about half the size of a hogshead. It was in such jars that Ali Baba's Forty Thieves con- cealed themselves.

Associated Press correspondent, who said of her work: During these three days she passed through scores of little villages, all devastated by artillery fire and aerial bombardment, many of them bearing indelible marks of Ger man vandalism. Famine stalked every where; children went barefoot through the snow-coVered streets; every one was gaunt and emaciated. The food supply in the army was fairly good and the dugouts were warm and comfort able, even on the coldest days.
 "The soldiers everywhere greeted the Queen with the utmost enthusiasm and affection. There could be no doubt that she was tdolized by the rank and file of the whole army, and her intense interest in their welfare was shown on every mile of the three days Journey. Every Rumanian officer carried a pho tograph of the Queen and many of these bore her personal signature Thousands of the private soldiers also carried her picture in the same pocket with their sacred ikons and crucif1x.
 Fearless in Face of Danger
 "The Queen carried with her on her journey a large quantity of sup plies of various kinds, given her by the American Red Cross for distribu- ton. These included garments for the women and children in the villages, condensed milk and food for the sick and cigarettes or small comforts for Il. ally presenting every article, and she had a word of cheer and encourage ment to go with each gift.
 ''In the villages the Queen showed entire disregard for the dangers of in- lection. Houses where typhus victims lay i'll she entered without hesitation. despite the protests and approximations of the local prefect and of her own physician, who accompanied her. Often she insisted on sitting down by the bedside of stricken peasant woman or child and ministering personally to the patient.
 'It was wonderful to see how she eluded and overcame the careful ar. engagements of the local prefects for ulHS 1lSE lIIEOuEu LIlclI dl~ tricts. It was natural that each pre- feet should be anxious to persuade the Queen that conditions in his jurisdic- ton were better than the average, and with this end in view he had usually arranged for calls at six or seven of the best houses in the village. But the Queen would wave this program aside and, pointing to some miserable hovel, would say, Tt looks to me as if the people in that house needed help. Let us go there.'"
 Another act in the life of this bril- liant and fascinating woman, who "im every inch a queen," is closed. AS the curtain rings down we see her fleeing with her daughter from the kingdom where she loved and was loved. Sounds of riot and disorder come from beyond the footlights. Are they pursuing her beyond the confines of the border2 Will they welcome her back to them7 Or have they forever washed their hands of the royal family who ruled over them in those far-away days be- fore the world war?

In Love With Her Husband

But the girl of sixteen fell in love with her young husband, and did all in her power to win his affection. That she failed at first to do so is tribute to her dark-eyed rival. Hailed as the most beautiful princess in Europe, she was a dashing, athletic, head strong girl. Her youth, her delicacy of feature, her clear complexion, her big blue eyes and golden hair would have charmed any man who was not held by the fascinating spell of the 'vampirc," Helene Nacaresco.
 The "vampirc,' who was brought up in Paris, is described as Roman with French improvements" She had abundant black hair and deep, lustrous eyes. Her charms were ripe, and her dark skin, full lips and fine neck and arms had thrown strong

 There was one obstacle, which, had she known it, might have held more weight with the young English girl than considerations of state. This was the fact that her fiance was mad1v in love with another woman, and only the absolute veto by both King Charles and the leading statesmen prevented his marrying her. The woman was Helene Nacaresco, the poetess, who was the physical opposite of the beau tlful young English princess. She is described as "a gorgeous brunette. with eyes as black as night,' while the princess was "a golden blonde, with lovely blue eyes"
 The prince. whose character seems somewhat colOrless as compared to his flashing wife is about ten years her senior. At that time he was a mild-mannered, good-looking young fellow, both bashful and sentimental, of literary tastes and opposed to violent exercise of any kind. As he was a poor soldier he was unpopular with the Rumanian officers. His broken health and weak will have long since helped to give his wife her place as the dominant power in the kingdom

 But this is not fiction, it Is fact.
 Though she may win the love and admiration of her people and the world in general, she can never live down one black fact which forever rises to stare her in the face: Do what she may, she is still queen, and the blood of royalty runs in her veins, although she may embrace all the democratic theories in the world. Queen Marie of Runania has fled from her lingdom!
 Poor queen! The taint of royalty is upon her!
