The queen of Rumania dines at a White House state banquet given by President Coolidge.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. - (P) - Blazing with the crown and jewels of her royal Russian mother, Queen Marie of Rumania sat tonight at President Coolidge's right hand, the first reigning queen ever to be entertained at a White House state banquet. Diamonds glittered in the crown encircling the shingled auburn tresses of the "most beautiful queen in Europe."
Decorations shown on her breast and a train hung from her shoulders, completing the trappings of royalty in which the Rumanian queen faced the chief executive and members of the cabinet of the world's outstanding democracy.
Down the length of the flower laden table were seated the president's official family and heads of foreign missions in Washington with their wives. Prince Nicholas, Princess Ileana and other members of the royal party had their places at the sides of guests without titles.
The simple c o l o n i a l state dining room, where presidents and their ladies since the days of Mr. and Mrs. John Adams have been accustomed to entertain distinguished visitors, furnished the setting of the regal banquet.
Wore Diamond Tiara
The queen wore the diamond tiara with great pear shaped pearl drops which she inherited from her mother, Grand Duchess Marie of Russia, daughter of Czar Alexander. Across the front of her georgette crepe gown she wore the blue ribbon and the glittering star of the Order of Carol, highest Rumanian decoration. Her famous pearls, three great strands of them, and large pearl earrings completed her ornaments. Her gown was simply cut, the neck round in front, descending to a low V in back. Sequins touched to an irridescent glitter the graceful lines of her gown and its long train. She had arrived at the White House wearing a gold and white brocade cloak, sable trimmed. Princess Ileana's gown was of blue crepe dechene cut on very simple lines with motifs of rhinestones. She wore no jewels.
Tonight's function came as the climax to a day in which Queen Marie devled deep into American history, visiting as preliminaries to her first White House call, Washington's home at Mount Vernon, the tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington national cemetery, and the Lincoln Memorial. The reception ceremony at the White House this afternoon was brief and formal. Two of the cars, bearing the (Continued on Page Eight)
