HERE AWAITS QUEEN MARIE AT STATION TONIGHT (Continued from First Page.) of at Wardman Park Hotel, as had heen planned, legation attaches were thrown into a quandary today, and the nearly completed ‘‘palace” was thrown once more into confusion. An entire bedroom suite had to be hurriedly ordered and installed in a small room adjoining the Queen's boudofr, on the third floor of the hulldinl‘ where it had been planned to provide Queen Marle with a sitting room. The handsome living room suite in that room was hastily re- moved and servants and officials waved their arms in despair over the delay in arrival of the substitute suite. It was gathered from the Queen’s brief message that she prefers keep- ing the young Prince Nicholas close to ‘her during her stay in America. Aspirants for princely acquaintance- ships found in her majesty's decision a dampening “crimp” in their plans, for with the 23-year-old sclon of royalty harbored under matronly eyes the opportunity to show the dance- talented prince a real American “good time” seemed slight. Other Changes Required. The unforeseen change in plans necessituted a rearrangement of nu- merous other rooms in the building, and it is not unlikely that the final touches needed to make the place ready will not have been added until shortly before the arrival of its oc- cupants this evening. The ce” will present a wholly non-European appearance, from the standpoint of furnishings. A regular American walnut bedroom suite of sim- ple but elegant appointments graces the Queen’s bedroom, the windows of which overlook a part of Rock Creek Valley. Toward the other end of the build- ing, and separated from the Queen's | boudoir by the room of a lady-n- waiting, is the bedroom to be occu- |pied by the 17-yearold Rumanian princess. It, too, is attractively fur- | nished after the ‘American’ style. On the second floor are the large reception rooms, ballroom and other rooms Yor entertaining, and on the first floor, to the right of the entrance, is the dining room, in which has been set up a specially constructed banquet table, of temporary character.

NEW YORK, October 18.—Queen Marie’s tour of America recalls the only previous visit of a Queen to this country, that of Elizabeth, Queen of the Belgians, who, with King Albert and Crown Prince Leopold, were the guests of President Wilson in October, seven years ago. Invited by President Wilson to come to this country as his official guests, less than a year after the armistice, the royal visitors arrived at a time when the President's illness made cancellation of many of the re- ception plans imperative. The King and Queen were in this country only 29 days, but their itinerary_crossed the continent from East to West, with side journeys to the North. Queen El Albert made the crossing both ways on the George Washington, the great troop transport of the war. Battle- ships and airplanes formed a part of the pageant of their reception and New York turned into a parade ground for their pleasure. Boston, Niagara Sacramento, Santa Barbara, the Grand Canvon, Pittsburgh, Long Island and W ington were included in their hu itinerary. Belgium royalty did not adhere to the rule which Rumania has exacted from its sovereign not to enter the houses of private individuals as royal cersonages, and among the most bril- liant of the functions accorded Albert and Elizabeth was a reception at the home of the late Henry P. Davison at Locust Valley, Long Island, at which the elect of New York society made its bow to royalty in this country.

Rain, which up to that time had soaked ie city, ceased to fall and the sky brightened somewhat. On the Macom the Queen was asked if, when she returns to Rumania, sne would take with her her son, Prince Carol, who renounced his rights heir apparent to the throne, but whom she was reported to have ef- fected a reconciliation just before sail- ing. “I am afraid not yet,” she satd. “He has made a great mistake in his life and he will just have to take his pun- ishment like any one else.

On the trip up the bay the Queen and her children rode in the pilot- house, being shown the sights by Grover A. head of the mayor’s reception committee. Reporters on the Macom were be- seeching the Queen's representatives in vain for other interview when suddenly Marie thrust her head from a window of the pilot house and smiled down at them. “My! You lok wet,” she said. “I wish T could ask you in, but there are so many of you, aren’t there?” She stayed at the window several minutes, answering with smiling good nature questions flung up at her.

Mr, Hill is an old friend of ours.” Princess Ileana and Prince Nicho- las, both blue eved and brown haired like their mother, stood smilingly by as the Queen answered questions. Occasfonally Queen Marie would chuck her daughter under the chin, and once, addressing the cameraman, she playfully tapped her son upon his somewhat aquiline nose, “What American books do you pre- mer?” the Queen was asked. “Oh,” she answered, “I like your western stories. First Glimpse of America. Queen Marfe had her first glimpse of the new world early this morning when she saw Staten Island from the broad windows of her luxurious drawing room aboard the Laviathan.

WHARTON, Correspondent of The The Star and North American Newspaper ~Alliance. PARIS, October 18.—Less than two weeks after her arrival in the United States, Queen Marie of Rumania will ate her fifty-first birthday anni- o i zhter of the bluest blood of Russi ngland and Ger- many was born in Castle Eastwell, in the Duchy of Kent, England, on Oc- tober 29, 1875, The father of the future Queen of 17,000,000 people was Prince Alfred, the second son of Queen Victoria. Her father was the first Duke of Edin- burgh, but when Ernest of Coburg| died Alfred inherited that duchy and became Duke of Coburg. The Queen's full name—Marie Alex- andria Victoria—derives from _four ancestors. Her grandmother Marie as the wife of Czar Alexander ‘of Russia and her mother, the daughter of Alexander, bore the same name. Alexandra, of course, is derived from her grandfather’s name and Victoria was the name of the great Queen of England, her father’s mother. Passes Early Life in London. As a child, Marie lived chiefly at Clarence House, in London, but when she was 12 her father became ad- miral of the English fleet stationed in the Mediterranean and the family lived on the Mediterranean Island of Malta for three years. Two years ago Marie revisited the Island of Malta and found several old servants still there who remembered her. on her father’s accession to the duchy of Coburg Marie lived there, visiting the Russian court frequently. When Marie was not yet 17, Ferdi- nand, then Crown Prince of Rumania, visited England and was presented to Marie. The day after the presentatioh Marie was told that she should marry Ferdinand. The wedding occurred in January, 1893, at Sigmaringen, the German seat of the Rumanian dynasty, and since lived in Rumania. Ferdinand was the nephew of Carol, the first King of Rumania. Second in List of Absolute Rulers. Until 1881 Rumania was under the vy of Turkey and had no King, but only a prince, so that Fer. dinand and Marie are the second ab solute rulers of the country.
