The Queen of queens. This is the title that has been frequently applied to Queen Marie of Roumania, not only because of her renowned beauty but because of her charming manner and democracy.

The Queen is a weekly visitor at the institution and the children are always rewarded with candy, toys or cakes when the Queen visits them

A Queen in the Garden of Eden. A young Eve and a young Adam appear before Queen Marie of Roumania in a costume that was popular in the Garden of Eden and received a modern outfit of clothes. The picture was taken at a distribution of American Red Cross relief supplies during which the Queen acted as an American Canteen worker.

The boy at the right has just received his clothing and is waiting for his little sister to chat with the Queen
