non, the tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery, and the Lincoln Memorial.
The reception ceremony at the White House was brief and formal. Two official cars bearing the seal of the United States, called at the legation which is for the moment a royal residence. Under escort of J. Butler Wright, personal representative of the president, and Radu T. Djuvara, Rumanian charge, the queen and Prince Nicholas and Princess Ileana were taken swiftly to the White House.
Secretary Kellogg had joined the president and Mrs. Coolidge in the Blue Room, as is customary on such occasions. Mr. Wright announced the queen. A moment later she presented her children to the chief executive and his lady, and the formality that surrounds the meetings of heads of states was complete.
Less than ten minutes had passed before the party was back in the motorcars on its way to the legation to welcome the president and Mrs. Coolidge on their immediate return call.
The queen, Princess Ileana, Prince Nicholas and other members of the royal party, left the legation at 9:30 this morning for their sightseeing tour. Mr. Wright acted as guide to Her Majesty, who rode in a black and olive touring car with top down, which led the procession of more than a dozen machines. The bright sunshine of a sparkling October day brought an exclamation of pleasure from the royal tourists as the cars got under way.
The queen wore a full length moleskin coat with a huge bunch of violets pinned to the shawl collar. Under her coat she wore a mouse-colored crepe dress of straight, simple lines and a toque of crushed velvet to match. The inevitable three ropes of pearls, pearl ear-rings, beige stockings and kid slippers completed her costume.
The princess Ileana was smartly clad. Prince Nicholas wore the double breasted blue tunic of his uniform as a lieutenant in the Rumanian navy.
The visit to th tomb of the Unknown Soldier was marked by a simple ceremony of tribute, when the queen, pausing for a moment of silent prayer with head bowed, laid on the grave overlooking the Potomac and the distant Capitol a wreath of roses and the tricolor of Rumania. She placed the wreath on the grave a second time at the request of photographers and then turned to exclaim in admiration as she gazed at the marble circle of the Memorial amphitheatre on the terrace of which the tomb of the Unknown is set.
The queen was accorded the presidential salute of 21 guns as her car entered the Fort Military Reservation approaching the tomb and it roared out again as the procession sped away from Arlington.
No military honors, but a tribute of another sort awaited her at Mount Vernon. Several old ladies, vice regents of the seven state branches of the Mount Vernon Ladies Association, brought to her the greetings of Maryland, Florida, Texas, Rhode Island, Delaware, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia. The queen shook hands with each and presented the prince and princess.
Mrs. T. S. Maxey of Texas, dean of the association, which cares for the historical treasures at Washington's home, and Colonel Harrison Dodge, director of the mansion, led the queen through the quaintly furnished old rooms. The queen was lavish in her admiration.
The princess Ileana and Prince Nicholas held for a moment the center of the stage when, in the rose garden, they were shown the "wishing rose" bush.
"Any sentimental wish made on one of these blooms or seed pods, as they now are, will be sure to come true," Colonel Dodge told the queen.
"Now, Ileana and Nicholas, make your wishes," smiled Queen Marie.
They wished, blushing. Asked what he had wished, and whether it concerned girls, Prince Nicholas replied, in confusion, "I'd rather not say."
The royal party leaves Washington tomorrow at 9 o'clock, motoring to Annapolis and thence to Baltimore, where they will board their special train for the return to New York.
