would take with her her son, Prince
| Carol, who renounced his rights As
! heir apparent to the throne, but with
whom she was reported to have eff

Il am afraid not yet" she said. "He

and he will just have to take his pun

Mayor Walker presented the Queen
with scroll on behalf of the city, in
which he praised her for her work
| in improving the status of Rumania
as a nation.
THE modern history of this rapid
ly changing world" said the scroll
in part, has informed US Of the fact
that In the hands of your imperial
! majesty, the kingdom of Rumania has
vastly expanded the territory which
you are called upon to govern and has,
within the reign of his majesty, King
Ferdinand and yourself almost
doubled it's populat ton
The allegiance of our people, your
majesty, belong to that freedom with
which we have been blessed, but our
hearts go out to you and yours who
have come across the seas to enjoy
for even short visit the stimulus of
our free institutions"
Sights Are Pointed Out.
On the trip up the bay the Queen
and her children rode in the pilot
house, being shown the sights by
Grover A. Whalen, head of the
mayors reception committee.
Reporters on the Macon were be-
seeching the Queens representatives
in vain for another interview when
suddenly Marie thrust her head from
a window of the pilot house and
smiled down at them.
MY! You lok wet" she said. 'I
wish I could ask you in, but there
are so many of you, aren't there?"
She stayed at the window several
nature questions flung up at her.

Are you going to visit California" ="
the Queen was asked on the Macon.

She was then asked whether she
would visit Maryhill, the home of
Samuel Hill, railroad man, in the
suburbs of Seattle, Wash.
Yes indeed" she replied. "I am
bringing a lot of Rumanian art with
me and l am going to inaugurate the
very first room. Mr.. Hill is an old
friend of ours"
Princess Ileana and Prince Nicho-
las, both blue eyed and brown haired
like their mother, stood smilingly by
as the Queen answered questions.
| Occasionally Queen Marie would
chuck her daughter under the chin,
and once, addressing the cameraman,
she playfully tapped her son upon
his somewhat aquiline nose.
What American books do you pre-
mer?" the Queen was asked.
"Oh," she answered, II like your
western storieS.''
First Glimpse Of America.
Queen Marie had her first glimpse
of the new world early this morning
when she saw Staten Island from the
broad windows of her luxurious
drawing room aboard the Laviathan.
The Balkan queens dream of years
was realized when she walked on the
promenade deck with her children.
