In the fine arts building the Queen
chose paintings for especially enthusi.

who might have been one of the
Rumanian Nomads of her adopted
land, held her several minutes.
The visit to the exposition was pre-
ceded by a trip to mass in the Greek
Orthodox Church and for services at
a Rumanion Church where the Queen
was surrounded by hundreds of her
Rumanians, many in the white
smocks, colored sashes, boleros and
gypsy bandanaS of their Balkan home
land.
A tiny baby, whose bolero and
bandana was too large for her little
body and head, was passed from per.
son to person to reach the Queens
arms and receive her kiss.
