Queen Marie
Wedding
BUCHAREST. Jan. 14. (AP).
Queen Marie has just celebrated
her 35th wedding anniversary.
Marrying King Ferdinand when
only 17, every year of the sover
eign's wedlock has been full of
stirring happenings and exciting
episodes. Investing her life with
unusual glamor, variety and rich
ness. Today at 52, the dowager queen
looks a young as at 35. Her first
act on the anniversary was to
place fresh flowers and the ternal
lamp of remembrance on Ferdi
nand's grave." The versatile queen
still works 15 hours a day, devot
ing several hoars each morning to
writing her memoirs.
While th regency and little
King Michael are nominally the
sovereign Wada of Rumania,
Marie remains in the affections of
her people at least as the royal
head of the country. Her own ex
perience on the throne and her tal
ent would appear to assure her a
position of first rank lor many
years to come...
At her own request, relatives
and friends refrained from giving
her the usual gif to of her wedding
anniversary because she is still in
mourning for the' king. But she
?ould not prevent a steady stream
of congratulatory telegrams fromjness.
