Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 30.-An in
teresting side light on the visit of
her majesty. Marie, Queen of Ru-
mania. has been the increased activ-
ity and fluctuations in the market
for the Rumanian leu, the standard
currency Of her government. Shortly
after the arrival of the sovereign the
leu was carried to a new high rec
ord for the year. But the apprecia-
ton in its value has been too slight
to sbe of significance At current
quotations the Rumanian currency Is
worth little more than a half cent,
compared with the pre-war parity
of 1913 cents per leu.
Everybody knows that as an after.
math of the war, the Rumanian ma
tionnl currency became practically
worthless. In the Fall of 1916. at the
request of her allies, Rumania de-
stroyed her oil wells to prevent them
from falling into the hands Of the
central powers. Her only compensa-
tion was a remittance Of part of her
war debt to Great Britain and to
France. Also at the request of her
allies she sent her national treasures,
Jewels. etc, amounting to more than
800, 900 900 gold lei and other treasures
amounting to more than 200.O00.00O
dollars to Moscow. all of which later
was confiscated by the Soviet gov
ernment.
Many have expressed the opinion
that the visit of her ajesty to
America is in the nature of an initial
step in paving the way toward future
financial and trade relations.
The question Of loans has not even
been discussed and whether loans will
result is something for the future to
disclose. However, it Is rather far
fetched to attribute the present fuctu-
alton in the Rumanian currency to-
Marie's visit. The best opinion Is that
the small appreciation would have
come about anyway and Is due to
nothing more than a technical market
adjustment.

HANSEL AND GRETEL


Once upon time there lived in
a suburb almost out to the sticks,
an old gent who had had the mis-
fortune to choose as second wife
the divorced third wife of a big
glass-eye manufacturer from Plain
view, Texas. This rather chemical
blonde took on the suburbanite as
her fifth, in a forlorn attempt to
find the perfect mate. For awhile
they were happy, except for the
two children of the father. These
two, who were of both sexes, or
that is to say, were a boy and a
girl respectively, Hansel and Gretel
though why so called no one knows.
1t seems they were in the habit of
sneaking into their step-mother's
room while she was in her bath or
a drunken stupor, and drinking her
gin, at the same time making the
most cutting wise-cracks concern
ing her wardrobe, her complexion,
her manners and her taste in
husbands. One day, while they
were wise-cracking thus, the old
girl, who had merely been splash
ing in the tub with an overshoe to
simulate happy bather, surprised
them by entering with a couple of
piano movers, especially hired for
the occasion.
