Pi31S for tho wedding attracted
considerable attention to the Ru-

reports that Queen Marie intends to
visit the UNITED States "a trip she
has planned several times since the
Armistice. In view of the fact that
she faced her own coronation cere-
mOny, tentatively set for sometime
in the fall, it is thought likely that
she may come to the United States
after the wedding and postpone the
coronation If necessary.
