Dowager Queen Marie, in letters
opened today, requested that dark
Iliac be thp color of mourning for
her and that her heart be buried
at her favorite resort on the
Hluck Heu.
King Carol's mother, who fig-
ured largely in the destiny of Ru-
mania for u generation, died yi««
terday of u rare liver disease ut
the age of 02.
in the letters, written June 2 .
1938, lite queen mother explain-
ed that lilac was her favorite col-
or and that «lie preferred It to the
usual black. Officials mild (he let.
lers would bu mudo public In a
dny or two. One of them was ad-
dressed to her subjects.
Although the queen will be
burled ut the palace of Kit rea de
Argesch beside her husband, the
late King Ferdinand, she requests
ed that her heart be embalmed
and taken in a speclul urn to Bul-
dc on the Black Sen.
Duiiug the night twelve high
ranking officers of the queen's
own regiment, the fourth cavalry,
curried her coffin from her palace
at Slnula. where she died, to the
royal palace of Pelesch. Thereaf-
ter these officers took turns
standing watch in the great hall
of the palace, where the queen
lay In state.
The deuth of their mother
brought ut least temporary rbcou-
clllation between Queen Marie's
two sons, King Carol and Mr.
Nicholas Brana.
The king summoned his broth-
er--the former Prince Nicholas,
shorn of his titles and In exile in
Italy since April 2fl, 1987. for
marrying a commoner- -to attend
the funeral of the queen, who
died Monday of un unusual form
of Cirrhosis of the liver ut the
age of 62.
I King Carol warned Bruna, how.
ever, that he must leave Ruman-
