call it impetuous. There were in
discretions, Escapades.
The Queen bowed her comedy
head and outwardly deplored,
with tears, some of the conduct
of her oldest son. But inwardly,
within her own ambitious heart,
she was pleased. For by each act
of rash and self-indulgent license,
by all the scandal that was
spreading abroad, she saw her
rival constantly receding from
the throne.
Then came the adventure pre-
cipitated by the black-eyed Ru-
manian girl long known to the
world as Zizi Lambrino.
Zizi Lambrino had been one of
Queen Marie's ladies-in-Waiting.
She was well-born. Her father
was a general. Prince Carol
soon found time to smile upon
vivacious Zizi Lambrino. But
this girlewith the bright black
eyes and quick, vivid smile did
not fall headlong into the
Princes arms. She was reserved.
she was smiling She plainly
showed she liked the Prince. But
she was also strong-minded.

Marriage or goodby.
am sure Queen Marie and
Stirbey never imagined Carol
would marry the girl. i am sure
Carol at first did not plan on
marriage himself. But Carol is
not astute. And, his interest
aroused. there is no obstacle he
VIII not overcome.
Zizi Lambrino must have real
lied this, for Miss Zizi is sensi-
tive and clever. At any rate, the
Winter of 1915 found Prince
Carol at Jassy. Mademoiselle
Lambrino arrived in town TO visit
her dear father, the general. At
once Carol dropped all his lighter
attachments to pay his court TO
Zizi.
For the first time in his life
he encountered a genuine oppo-
sition. This girl, she liked him.
She was fond of him. She loved
him. But this girl was amazingly
like that Eugene who, decades
before, had replied TO another
urging lover.
THE way to my bedroom is
through the church. -
Then, as that Prince LOUIS
Napoleon had done, so did Carol.
He married the girl.
She had finally convinced him
that love, TO her, meant all the
conventional things love means
to the virtuous daughter Of a
Rumanian tradesman--it meant
ring and wedding. a proper
declaration before all the world.
Accordingly one vening

form of a Russian lieutenant,
crossed the border into Odessa
with Mademoiselle Lambrino.
They were married in the Cath

he settled down in Odessa, and

fellow countrymen said this,
rather admiringly. After all, Zizi
was a well-born Rumanian girl,
At this unexpected finale
think Marie must have been
rather alarmed, for Mademoiselle
Zizi was of rank nearly good
enough TO marry into royalty.
And, she was, too, a Rumanian.
It was the first time an heir TO
the throne had married a native
of his country in the history Of
the dynasty.
