 While thus enaged someone asked the Queen whether she would be willing for Ileana to marry an Amer ican.

 During her interview Marie spoke of her habit of constantly writing her impressions and this brought ques- ton as to whether she would write for any syndicate while here.

 "Oh. I would mt have time for that" she replied.
 'Is the report true that this is to be the only interview you will grant?" she was asked.

 The representative of Jewish newspaper asked about the treat ment of Jews In Rumania.

 The Princess.
 Ileana, slender pale girl, wore a dark blue velvet coat trimmed with fur, a semi-cloche hat with a silver ornament in front, a powder blue dress, beige silk stockings and lizard skin pumps. Nicholas was in conventional morning attire.
 After the interview the royal party was escorted aboard the Macon and the tug proceeded to the Battery. Opposite Governors Island the party was greeted by salute of 2l guns.
 Arrival of the Queen and her en- tourage as the Battery coincided with lifting of the storm, rain, which up to that time had soaked the city, ceased to fall and the sky brightened somewhat.
 On the Macom the Queen asked If. when she returns to Rumania, she 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 effected reconciliation just before sailing.

 Walker Greets Queen.
 Mayor Walker presented the Queen with a scroll. in behalf of the city, in which he praised her for her work in improving the satus 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 your self, almost doubled it's population. "The allegiance of our people, your majesty, belongs 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 a short visit the stimulus of our free institutions" On the trip up the bay the Queen and her children were in the pilot house and were shown the sights by Grover A. Whalen, of the mayors | reception committee, who stood hold ing a high silk hat much the worse for a drenching.
 Reporters on the Macom were be- ! seaching 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.

 Are you going to visit Califor- nia?" the queen was asked.

 She was then asked whether she would visit Maryhill, the home of Samuel Hill, railroad man, in the suburbs of Seattle.
 "Yes, indeed" she replied. 'I am bringing lot of Rumanian art with me and I am going to in- augurate the very first room. MT. Hill is an old friend of ours"
 Princess lleana and Prince Nicholas, both blue eyed and brown haired like their parents, stood smilingly by as the queen answered questions. Occasionally Queen Ma rie would chuck her daughter un- der the chin, and once, addressing the cameraman, she playfully tapped her son upon his somewhat aquiline nose and remarked, Isn't it cute little nose?"
 What American books do you rrefer?" the queen was asked. Likes Western Stories
 "Oh," she answered. T like your western stories. They are so excit- ing. Of course it isn't like that any
