dignity.
Carol found in Lupescu an intelligent woman
who would listen to him to the end and give advice
and comfort when, very weary he needed good
companion. The king found in her what has been
rare in Europe these last, feverish decades calm
spirit. Magda Lupescu has lived through riots and
assassinations and bloody purges and many plots
aimed at her and her not too graceful lover. Yet
her poise, her calm, her-wel perhaps her fatasm
have made her seem to the rather neurotic mon
arch refuge and strength
And her loyalty to him is, l am sure, unsur-
passed in all the history of kings who loved beneath
their kingly state and beyond their kngly circle.
Add to all this the sensuality which, in the woman
matched the sensuality of the son of Queen Marie
- and you have couple we'll matched in body
and in spirit. Though to mind, l sure,
Magda Lupescu far outstrips her Carol. So her
hold has kept strong to this day. for the simple
reason that she never worried lest she lose her
hold-as almost any mistress worries, be her lover

Of course nobody ever charged that Lyvia Por-
dean Ausschntt so far forgot the duty she owed
her liege lord, King Carol, as to slap his face.
AT any rate, the young lady went home prompt

band were ever at the charming sorees of
Madame Magda Lupescu
But by some unexplained coincidence, the bust
ness affairs of her husband seemed to enter upon
an eclipse Immediately after that tea party in the
royal palace. There started agitation, newspaper
articles, whispers and gossip about Max Aussch-
nit He had fattened on the natural resources of
Rumania These natural resources belonged to the
real Rumanians."
Yes, these whispers grew against poor Aus
schnitt Taxes, embroglios with government inspec-
tors also grew about him. And, his fortune much
diminished in few months, Max Ausschnitt saw
the writing the wall. At once, then, he started
to sell his holdings, his mines his lands and to
