Whei the cara seven-passenger Cadillac-ar rived at the palace gates, the Queen once noted that an American flag flew from the radiator. Before entering the car, she requested that the flag be re moved. explaining that royal etiquette prevented her riding behind any flag save that of her own country
 Opposition arose immediately. Tho chauffeur, an American doughboy, an nounced politely, but none the less firm. ly. that when the flag came down, h. came down also and someone else would have to drive the car. The Queen who by the way, is a granddaughter Of the late Queen Victoria of England, gra- ciously conceded the point and the party proceeded on their way.
 Subsequently, Queen Marie took many long trips throughout her country In this car, and always behind the American flag She herself is the owner of ar American car, a Cadillac of previous model, but exhibited a marked prefer ence for the superior riding qualities of this latest type.

cut out of heavy paper and on the
paper was sketched the pattern of the
lace triraming, with carefully written
memorandum Of the number of yards
of lace required.
The working pattern. or dummy, as
it is called. then went to the factory.
In Il roOm 200 feet long and half rs
many feet wide the material for the
chemise is piled in layers and layers,
and sometimes "a hundred or more
chemiSes are cut out at one time with
an electric cutter. In another room
the yards of lace for the trimming are
being cut. Along go the material and
trimmings to another department with
the dummy sample, and the pink
chemise moves along from machine to
machine, where busy girls do various
kinds OF work; Hemming, telling
seams, hemStitching. joining lace. ruff
ding, and even sewing on buttons. The
final process is the pressing and then
the pink chemise IS ready to so on its
