Marie came to this country ito put
Rumania on the map"
The granddaughter of Queen Vic
toria made that frank confession here
in a speech that started with O. smile
and ended with tear when she added.
And remember, those of you who be-
little Rumania, that you are treading
on the heart Of a Queen
There not only were tears in the
Queens eyes when she had finished
her story Of her love for her adopted
country, to which she had given "six
children, who speak Rumanian and are
Rumanians," but also in the eyes of
many who heard her on the eve Of
her departure from the sprawling city
by the inland sea.
After a four-day visit in the city,
which had been described to her by
her son, Prince Carol, as the most
beautiful in America. the Queen and
her encourage prepared today to con
tinue their Journey eastward, with
Indianapolis the next stop. Whether
she concurred in her sons description
was not indicated, but in any pic
ture she carries away the weather will
play a prominent part.

Leaden skies. almost continuous
rain, with a touch Of snow and cold
weather, have marked the royal visit,
but have failed to quench the Queens
ready smile, except for that moment
Of tears when she spoke In the draw
ing room Of the Union League Club
yesterday.
"It Is true that I have come to
America to put Rumania on the map"
she said in one Of the most candid
addresses ever uttered by royalty. 81

country, which is Rumania. 1t is my
life. my work, my love. my children.
my family, my all-the very essence
Of my existence. Remember. when
you belittle Rumania you are treading
on the heart Of a Queen"
Recalling her attendance at the
Vervailles peace conference. she con-
tinued:
"When I went there-and shocked
the world. perhaps-they asked me
why I had come. And I told them
this: Every country needs a face. So,
when you gather for your delibera-
tions, / want Rumania to have a face.
/ am here to be that face
And I have come to America for
the same reason. / hope you like my
face here"
She then sketched a bit Of Ru-
naapian history.
