within six feet of Queen Marie, who
was almost directly opposite. Her
majesty talked throughout lunch,
which lasted for more than an hour,
eating heartily the while.
At the close a silver alcohol lamp
after the style of old Rome and of
a beautiful shape was brought in
and placed before her. She then took
a cigarette and put one end in her
mouth and lit the other from the
fame, raising the lamp TO the level
of her nose as she did so. She smoked
vigorously, and it seemed to me that
she liked it. She then talked with
the cigarette in her mouth. The lamp
was passed to the king, who like
wise smoked, after which it went up

George proposed to the Princess Mary
and asked her to be his wife. She re-
fused him, and later on he married
the present queen. Then, the Duke of

accepted she would today be Queen

The menu consisted of what might
be considered a good course dinner

appetizers of tomatoes and cecumbers
and sardines and bird-shot caviar, a
teaspoonful of which was served in
the hard white of the half of a boiled

gave my hand a cordial shake and

Her majesty was dressed in the Ru-

is part of the records in every great
almanac or statistical annual. 1t is

not seldom in the date lines of the

Queen Marie is just about forty-eight.

HER majesty might be called The
queen of the fairies. She is that
to the children of Rumania, and to
the multitude of other children who
delight In the fairy stories she writes
and some of which appear in the
movies. During the luncheon tho
question of authorship came up and
Queen Marie described the pleasure
she had in creative composition. She
has written many magazine articles
and not a few books, reminding one
of Carmen Sylvia, the literary queen
whom she has succeeded.
Her majesty tells me she delights in
writing for children, and especially
for those ranging from five to ten
years of age. She says that their
imaginations are much more vivid
than those of the grown-ups, and
that they appreciate every shade OF
your thought Moreover they are too
young to fiatter and they will speak
the truth. The queen has written

at such times kings do not count.
His majesty came into the reception
hall shortly after the queen, ana
shook hands with his guests. He was
dressed in the uniform of a Ru-
manian general wearing an olive drah
suit with Sam Brown belt. He
had on tan boots that reached to his
knees. and had silver spurs at the
heels. His breast was plastered with
decorations.
King Ferdinand is a man of medium
height. He is straight and we'll built
and looks somewhat like ciubnlan
of studious bent. He is shy rather
than ostentatious. His voice Is low
and his manner decidedly pleasing. L
am told he is much interested in
his people and country. and that he
has a considerable say, although the

tional monarchy in which parliament
makes the laws and practically car

Candy From the Fields?

A wESTERNER who is interested
~ in the manufacture of breakfast
foods some time ago made the star
tling announcement that he could
make at least seventy-five various
kinds of candy from alfalfa 1t is
also contended that an excellent grade
of sirup can be made from that sub
stance. The man mentioned is SO en-
thusiastic with respect to his expert
ments with alfalfa that he is reported
to be planning TO establish a mill fer
the manufacture of alfalfa -four
which, he asserts, will be found to DC
superior to all other fiours for bak-
ing.
Hitherto, at his small mills in Mon
tana this man has been turning out
balanced ration for live stock from
alfalfa. Biscuits and a variety of
pastries may be made from the -four.
1t is highly probable, In the opinion
of experts, that alfalfa may some day
revolutionize the confectionery bust
ness. Certainly IL alfalfa proves It's
worth as a candy material the acre
age planted yearly will quickly in
crease and prices may be demanded
far above those now prevailing.

T HAVE just returned from the
royal castle, the summer palace
of the King of Rumania, where
L have had the honor of 1unching
with their majesties. King Ferdinand
and Queen Marie and of meeting the
beautiful young Princess Ileana. The
palace is a homelike building of
three or four stories with roofs as
sharp as knife blade, and whites
walls inlaid in patterns, With panels
of Vanished yellow pine. 1t has
gables and spires. and other Ru-
manian artistic conceits.
1t is small for a palace, but 1t con-
tains many rooms and it would be a
fine building in almost any part of
the world. It is in the heart of a
wooded park covering hundreds and
perhaps thousands of acres, and Is
reached by, winding drives up the
mountain from Sinaia, the summer
capital here in the heart of the Tran
sylvanian Alps. The palace looks as
though it grew out of and were
part of the hills. The mountains
tower over it, and it climbs up their
sides. The entrance Is under a carved
porte-cochere and the front doors
open into a great hall which leads
into a square salon, where windinf
stairs of polished oak make their way
to the stories above. Portraits of
the royal family, and other monarchs
hang on the walls. Books of a half
dozen different languages cover the
tables. and g homelile atmosphere
pervades the whole.

give anything to his countrNmen
His greatness lies in the fact that
he was successful in calling them
to the performance of a higher duty.
He showed them how--to have a
greater liberty by earning it. All
that airy society can do. all that any
government can do. is to attempt to
guarantee to the individual the so
cial economic and political rewards
of his own effort and industry. The
America which Washington founded
does not mean we shall have every
thing done for us. but that we shall
have every opportunity TO do every
thing for ourselves. This is liberty.
but 1t is liberty only througf, the
acceptance of responsibility.
We lave changed our constitu-
ton and laws 10 meet changing con
dlt1ons and a better appreciation OF
the broad requirements of humanity.
We have extended and increased the
direct power of the voter. But tie
central idea of self-government re-
mains unchanged. While we real
lie that freedom and independence
or the individual mean increased re-
sponsibility for the Individual. white
we know that the people do and
must support the government, and
that the government does not and
cannot support the people. yet the
protection of the individual from the
power now represented by organized
numbers and consolidated wealth re-
quires many activities on the part
OF the government which were not
Eeeded in the days of Washington
Many laws are necessary for this
purpose both in the name Of jus
tee and of humanity Efforts in
