been Planned, legation attaches were
thrown into a quandary today, and
the nearly completed palace" was
thrown once more into confusion.
| An entire bedroom suite had to be
hurrledly ordered and installed in a
small room adjoining the Queens
boudoir, on the third floor of the
building. where it had been planned
to provide Queen Marie with sitting
room. The handsome living room
suite IN that room was hastily re-
moved and servants and officials
waved their arms in despair over the
| delay in arrival of the substitute suite.
1t was gathered from the Queens
brief message that she prefers keep
ing the young Prince Nicholas close
to her during her stay in America.
Aspirants for princely acquaintance
ships found in her majesty's decision
a dampening "crimp" in their plans,
| for with the 23-year-old scion Of
royalty harbored under matronly eyes
the opportunity to show the dance
| talented prince a real American good
time" seemed slight.
Other Changes Required.
The unforeseen change in plans
necessitated a Encouragement Of nu-
merous other rooms in the building,
and it is not unlikely that the final
| touches needed to make the place
| ready will not have been added until
shortly before the arrival Of it's oc-
cupants this evening.

ing, and separated from the Queens
boudoir by the room Of lady-in-
waiting, is the bedroom to be occu-
pied by the 17-year old Rumanian

nished after the American style.
On the second floor are the large
reception rooms, ballroom and other
rooms Tor entertaining, and on the
first floor, to the right of the entrance,
is the dining room, in which has been
set up a specially constructed banquet
table, Of temporary character. The IL
