TO bs royal princess? Well.
there's not any difference in being
. princess and being an American
housewife really, except A.
princess have often been very lone
Ily. The diffsrencs lies in Loneliness.
No matter what . woman's sta,
,, tion In hfe-bs she . queen. . buss-
ness woman. IN heiress-ths thins
that spells real happiness to her u
her home. j would say to American
women-''your happiness lies In your
home" That n my message.
From . schoolgirl Of Ctevsapnds
Ohio. to my present position, from
ali this iiSs have experienced. I am
sure that in home all classes Of wom-
en- find happiness. II felt like that
same ,schoolgiri today a. sailed
into New York Harbor aboard the
Olympic with my husband. Prince
| Christopher OF Greece.

have lost my American cttizenship
through my marriage 20 . foreigner.
am sure that Prince Christopher
win love America. too. 1t has al
ways been his ambition TO come to
/ America.
Wss Homesick.
We have come here because I was
homesick to see America md because
Of Prince Christopher's, lifelong am
bition to see Amer sca. il has been
ten years since have been here. In
all that time I have passed through
wars. revolution and sickness. For
the last year have suffered from
laryngitis, and In my homeland /
hope to recover from this trouble.
Our trip to America has no politi-
cal aspect whatever. Prince Chris
topher has no political ambitions.
and In too far removed from the
crown TO expect ever to become
king. He In not interested In Greek
or American politics. We win visit
Washington while here because the
prince wishes to see our National
Capital.
None of the Leeds fortune has ever
been used to further Greek ambi.
tions. My fortune can never leave
America. have never given money
to Prince Christopher or given any
money In Greece except to charities.
l am very sorry to admit ] never
expect to live In America again, be-
cause now my family and my con-
nections are all in Europe. I have
sold my Newport estate. Rough
European royalty treats Amert
cans very nicely. There's only one
thing to say--it's lonely to be an
American In European royalty.
The future OF Greece? cannot
say. Those poor people are in a tur-
mol. For ten years they have been
In mobilization. Now they have less
than before they began. We do not
feel bitterly toward the assassina.
ton OF our close friends In the min.
istry there, because one cannot ex-
pect people with SO much trouble to
be free from braeh deeds. We can.
not say that we think King Con.
stantine was treated unfairly. He
willingly abdicated the throne this
Iast time, ana IL ID gone from him
forever. We think the present King,
Prince George. will rule success
fully.
sorry for Creeks. -.
The Greeks are to be looked upon
with pity. There are only 10, ,0O0, 900
people and 1,000.0O0 are refugees on
the streets. No wonder they do des-
perate things. However. we are not1
here In the interest Of Greek propa.
ganda, or to solicit funds for Greeks.
We are democrats, and believe in
letting the Grsek people work out
the government they want. We
think II they are left alone all will
turn out well. -
The prince and are going to see
all Of America we can in the several
months we will be here. After a
week In New York we will visit my
brother-in.law, Mr.. Henderson Green,
Of Montclair. N. j., and then go to
Palm Beach. Il
r am very fond Of everybody and
everything In America, and want
to make friends with all. We wish
to travel incognito and with an little
splurge as possible,
