QUEEN MARY’S DOUBLE.

The Lovely Crown Princess of Roumania, Who Likes Americans.

The crown princess of Roumania, granddaughter of Queen Victoria, who is to represent her husband's country at the coronation of her cousin. King George of England, bears a striking resemblance to Queen Mary, although the crown princess is by far the better looking of the two. The crown princess was the Priucess Marie of SaxeCoburg, daughter of the late Prince Alfred of Saxe-Coburg and of the Grand Duchess Marie of Russia, an aunt to the czar. Although the Saxe-Coburg princesses were considered royal beauties, yet none of them made especially good matches. Plncess Marie, the eldest, marrying the insiguificant Ferdinand. heir to the Roumanian throne, shortly after all Europe had been entertained with the story of his love affair with Mile. Helen .Vaceresco. one of the waiting maids of his aunt. Queen Elizabeth of Roumania. Although Princess Marie’s married life with the gloomy and not very popular crown prince has not been a particularly happy one, she commands the admiration and devotion of the Roumanians. In every possible way she has tried to ameliorate their condition, lending her name and Influence to every worthy charity in the Roumanian capital and endeavoring to popularize the national embroideries, laces and jewelry. Princess Marie, unlike Queen Mary, likes Americans and encourages them to visit the Roumanian capital.
