We talked of everything from rose gar- dens to international debts, from Madame X girdles to Gina Lombroso's book. Yet, when I left Cotroce: ace that day, I was no nea question of her majesty writing the stories I saw in her face than when I left New York. I began to have night- mares featuring the editor's scowl. Marie Is Hard Worker. But Queen Marie was not just pre- tending to be busy. She works all day and every day, rising at 7 and resting not at all until her program of con. ferences, appointments with ministers, talks with educators, physicians, peo ple with plans that offer help and paying work for the peasants, and heavens knows what not, is done. 1 kept thinking how Americans regard a queen as & sort af national luxury, possibly. ornament, cer- tainly not a necessity. Yet the closer you get to the few royalties still functioning, vou that the right sort of king or queen may not be such a bad thing after all. The better I learned to know Queen Marie of Rumania, the more clearly 1 saw that royalists have their work in the world; have their very tenable viewpoint—a different viewpoint from ours, of course. Yet beneath the sur ace they are just like us. They live love, and laugh and weep, are spurred by ambitions and crushed by disappointments. They are yearning for happines: just as we all are. They stumble and fall and pick themselves up, just as we all must. They work and they play. * and *‘Mig: non and “Bud” to each other just as we common folks are.

She gives her people their money’s worth, and I like her for it. this Marie of the fair face, the electric personality and the Kind, kind heart. Her Consent Finally Won. Cowld I persuade her to write her- self into our American minds and hearts? Could I? e It was not easy. She was busy. She was a queen with a job. and she worked at it. She was beset with re- quests to do and to go and to give and to write. She had never spoken to Americans through their newspa- pers. She didn’'t know whether she should. Whether it would be wise. Didn't Americans love to impale one on the pins of their laughter? Didn't they pounce on bits of one's stuff and quote it broadcast without context so that it was given a different twist of meaning? Didn't they? Well. She would think it over. Regina Maria thought, and 1 talked, for nearly two months. And I suc- ceeded. She wrote bits of life as she .
