Mrs. B. Frank Mebane of Spray, N.C., is already preparing her beautiful home for a reception for Queen Marie of Rumania, and her party, in anticipation of the visit during the queen’s tour of the United States.
Although definite word has not been received by Mrs. Mebane that the queen has accepted her invitation to visit her home, the North Carolina woman feels confident that her friend, Queen Marie, will visit her.
The friendship of Mrs. Mebane and Queen Marie began when Mrs. Mebane accompanied Mrs. Lindsay Patterson to Serbia on a mission for Madame Groitch, wife of the Serbian minister of the United States.
After the mission was completed in Serbia, the two American women decided to visit Rumania, hoping rather than expecting to see the week, whose beauty and charm they had heard so praised.
In Budapest the Rumanian legation arranged an audience with her highness and she invited the two American ladies to Sainaia, in the Carpathian mountains.
Plans for the entertainment of Queen Marie include a public reception by Governor McLean, who has already sent a formal invitation to the quen and her party, asking them to visit North Carolina.
Due to the limited time the party will be in North Carolina, the reception may be held in Charlotte, Asheville or Spray.
In the Mebane mansion at Spray are autographed copies of photographs of all the members of the Rumanian royal family and also group pictures containing other members of the family.
The queen will be accompanied by a retinue of 21 people on her trip to this county.
