Princess Helen of Rumania, estranged
wife of King Carol, came home yester-
day to see her son, Michael, and was
received in a manner distinctly friendly.
1t was different homecoming from
that she experienced the last time she
came to the capital. Twenty-four SOL

her at the border with the salute when
her private train halted there.
AS she left her car Prince Michael

Of the Bucharest police was Bt the

Carol, from whom she was divorced
two years previously, returned to the

Her brother, the former King of
Greece, preceded her to Bucharest by
