THE Lily of Life was originally lust
q beautiful fairy tale written by Queen
Marie for her youngest child little boy who
died during the war. She had written fairy
stories for each of her children, as they sue
cessively grew old enough to Understand
them. But because of the sad memories re-
called by the tale which she had written for
her darling boy, she chose this as the most
appropriate for dramatization. !.
1t is the story Of princess; who goes in
search Of a hower-the lily of life-which,
she has learned, is the only thing that Fan

cruel fate which has been wished roon him.
Alas, for the poor princess! The place
where this precious lily is guarded is almost
inaccessible even to those: who are close

Her two older daughters were also dressed

a QUEEN in Paris! Under any circum-
stances, at any time, the presence Of
any queen would send a thrill down the
boulevards, once more brilliant with gay
throngs-throngs whose vivacity even inc
most bitter struggle of the ages has failed
to kill. And when that queen is the
beloved Marie of Rumania and when sne
comes to be present at a play which sne
herself has written, and when that play Is
staged BY special arrangement In the
Grand Opera House before an audience o.
world famous personages, and when the
play itself Is a sublime, pathetic, heart
gripping panorsma of transcendent beauty,
is it any wonder that Paris momentarily
forgets even the races at the height Of the
season? Even demonstrative Paris can
hardly do justice to such an occasion.
Rarely, If ever indeed, has that old
Grand Opera House beep thronged with SO
brilliant an audience as that which gathered
there the night of June 30 to witness THE
Lily Of Life fairy fantssie, written BY
Queen Marie and presented for the benefit
Of the war sufferers Of her Rumania.
There were in that audience nearly all
the great functionaries Of France and the
ambassadors and other ENJOYS from most of
the countries Of the world. with their wives
and encourages, and dukes and duchesses,
generals, prelates and dignitaries of state
and army.
A ND, in drab, soul stirring contrast
to all these, to all the glitter and
grandeur and wealth of costume and
!ewelry, there were present also, in defer
encs to the express wishes Of the queen and
occupying the first two rows in the par
terrs, wounded French veterans of the war.
Queen Marie herself, of course, was the
cynosure Of all eyes ere the first certain
rose. She is an extraordinarily beautiful
woman, statuesque and majestic in figure,
but with the golden hair and pink and white
complexion and blue eyes of the fairy queens
Of childish Imagination. She takes extreme
care Of her appearance, not only because
Of her own inherent love Of art and beauty,
but because she feels that in this way she
best helps represent her people before the
civilized world.
On that gala evening, her wavy, golden
hair was coifed low, with pearl and dia-
mond earrings cleaning below. She wore
diamond tiara and her wonderful ropes of
pearls. But the jewels were hardly more
dazzling than her beautiful teeth as she
smiled and bowed Acknowledgements to the
acclaim of the audience
She was very wise In choosing what
