MARIE SHOW S
A MOTHERS
SOLlCITUDE
Prince Nicholas Must Stay
at Legation; Her Majesty
a Hostess Tonight

TITS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE
Isl NICHOLAS must stay under
the wing of his royal mamma
Marie. Queen of Rumania. while in
Washington. This edict went forth
this morning when the legation
officials were informed by wire that
a bedroom must be prepared for him
at the legation instead of at Ward
man Park Hotel, as had been
planned originally.
The publicity department of Ward
man Park is, of course, in tears
great. big, salty ones-over the loss
of what promised to be the big at
traction of the year. And the lega-
ton doesn't feel any too happy with
all the last minute details to be
rushed through-and now this extra
work of putting in condition room
for Prince Nicholas! He is to have
the one right next to Mother Marie
the one in which her sister. In
fanta Beatrice. was to sleep. had
she not changed her mind about
coming to America.
Queen Marie will not need to
watch her son much this time, for
the royal party will only be here
two nights and these will be spent
in official functions at which the
Princes presence will be necessary.
But when the royal party returns
to Washington early in December
for a longer and more informal stay
the Queen will perhaps appreciate
more her wisdom in transferring
Nicholas to the legation. The young
Prince will be so close to his moth
er that it will be difficult to come
in late at night, or early in the
morning, without her knowing it.
Cook for a Queen
''Clementine'-in full, Nine. Glenn
entine Burel, queen of cooks, is
busy in the kitchen Of the legation
this afternoon preparing the din
ner which will be served this eve
ming in the dining-room of the !ega-
ton to another queen and 30 or 40
Others-members of the royal party.
State Department officials meeting
the Queen and the staff of the lega-
ton.
Mr.. Djuvara, charge d'affaires of
Rumania, in conference with Glenn
entine, decided on the menu. He is
not such a bad cook himself-at
least he can make prize salads But
he had to go to New York to meet
Her Majesty. and so to Clementine
will go the highest honors if Queen
Marie is pleased with the Inner to-
night.
The menu, which viii be served
70 her, will consist of:
Caviar du Danube
Creme de champignons al a Moldare
Homard a PAmericaine/
Poularde a la Valdrome
Mousse de foie 5ras
CeleriS braises
Glaze aux framboise
Cigarettes russes mot Russian cigar

Fruits
Clementine was born IN France,
which country she left 10 years ago
for Havana, Cuba, where she stayed
for IL years. before coming to
ashington. She cooked at the
Cuban embassy before going TO the
Rumanian legation. There are .ev-
eral in Washington, who can afford
to get the best-in COOKS or any
thing eIse-who are just waiting for
a chance to add Clementine to their
staff.
Clementine is busy, but she is not
hurried in her preparations. She
knows how to do what she is doing.
Grayish- haired, brown-eyed, pleasant
faced, middle-aged, she moves about
easily and works deftly with the
Holsters, chickens, ct cetera, giving
an order to her cheerful and capable
assistant, Mile. Marcelle Guengant.
Neither can speak English, but
Clementine can speak Spanish as
well as her native tongue.
The Rumanian flag is flying from
the legation; an awning has been
put up at the entrance; and this
morning workmen were busy plant
ing flowers of red, yellow and blue
the national colors-on the bit of
earth in front of the legation.
Within Constantin Danielopol,
youngest attache of the legation, a
little younger than Prince Nicholas
was trying to bring order from
chaos. He was the only member of
the staff left in Washington, the
others having gone to New York
to meet her Majesty.
To Lunch at Mt. Vernon
Probably. because Of the late hour
of her arrival in town today. Her
Majesty Queen Marie will not pay
her ceremonial call on President and
Mrs. Coolidge until tomorrow after
noon. This will be at 4 o'clock.
and will follow Queen Marie's pill
grimage to Arlington and to Mount
Vernon.
Although every visiting prince or
potentate is taken TO Mount Yer
non to place a wreath on the grave
of George Washington, Queen
Marie and her party will have the
unusual experience Of having lunch
con in the very dining room in
which George Washington used to
entertain the neighboring land
owners.
