MT McNarama was well known throughout the city for more than 50 years and was one of the most prominent residents Of the Brooklyn section of Water bury.

n 1Or resurrection OF the King
wv dom of Poland is growing as
the health Of Marshal JOS
eph Pilsudsk, the republics
constitutional dictator, wanes.
Trading ON the magic of his name,
the nonarchist elements are holding UP
as future Queen. Wanda Pilsudski, the
eldest daughter of the aging general
The fact that she is only is years old
and so engrossed in her home work"
that she is leading her school classes,
has not deferred the rumor mongers
from linking her name with one or the
other Of almost all the eligible royal
bachelors in Europe. About the only
exceptions were the Prince of Wales
and his younger brother, Prince George.
The Polish government has not seen
fit to dignity these rumors by denialS,
the newspapers treat them as jokes and
Miss Wanda is too busy with algebra,
geography and Latin to pay any atten-
! ton to them.
Efforts toward closer union between
Poland and Rumania motivated some of
the most persistent of the marriage re-
ports. First Prince Nicholas, brother of
King Carol, was named, but his NOR
ganatic elopement silenced the whisper
ing.
Next the gossips dragged in young
Prince Michael. ex-"boy King" and now
heir apparent to the Rumanian throne
But since he is only about half Wanda S
age and because a marriage between
them would take Wanda to Bucharest
rather than bring Michael to Warsaw,
that fantastic report died
But salons of Europe feast on such
gossip and every vagrant whisper re-
specting Miss Wanda sets them buzzing
afresh.
