Leaving is Belle Harbor, Queens, home for the last time, Mayor Beame heads for work yesterdav. Meanwhile cenTehi some last-minute packing before (right) moving into Gracie Mansion. She chats with Ruth Kraman. Mansion (Smde Meets Mistress Mi WW By BETH FALLON Mary Beame entered Gracie Mansion yesterday at 1:45 p.m., exhausted, famished but triumphant.

She had accomplished no" mean feat for any New Yorker: She had moved. "Mazel tov (Good luck)," exclaimed her "waiting assistant, Ruth Kraman. "Oh, thank you," breathed Mrs. Beame. "Hare you grot any lunch for us? We're starved." "We" meant the first lady of New York and her new housekeeper, Pipitsa Kefalea, both of whom had been packing- last-minute belongings for the Beames' two-family house at 171 Beach 131st St.

in Belle Harbor, Queens, sTnce early morning. At the old house, where the Beames rented the six-room, second-floor flat for $375 a month, she had rushed from room to room, wrapping the cosmetics she had just used, fielding questions from reporters and being trailed by three TV crews. "Now where does this go?" she muttered, staring at a bedroom clock in the time-honored tradition of women on moving day. It was a wrench to leave the neighborhood she's lived in the last two years and spent the last 18 summers, she confessed, crawling over packing cases. "We've always loved this community, and made many lovely friends here.

We're still going to see them," she added firmly. One of them, Mrs. Eleanor Ryan from next door, dropped by to say farewell and Mrs. Beame "hugged her. Lots of the neighbors will be sorry to see the Beames go because, as Mrs.

Ruth Mintz, who lives across the street, put it: "They were very pleasant neighbors and the police protection has been wonderful, day and night." Moving Truck Arrives The truck from Dahill-Mayflower movers of Brooklyn arrived about 9:15 with four workmen and the company's president, Mike DiBattista. The Beame furniture, mostly Italian and French provincial in greens, blues and golds, all fit in one truck and, except for a dining set that is "too small" for the mansion, will be used at their new address. Furniture in the public rooms comes with the house, and extra pieces will be provided by the city's museums. The cost of moving, more than $1,000, was paid by the Beames. In the 14-room mansion's family quarters, Mrs.

Beame chose pale green water silk paper for the living room, cream for the library and dining room, wedgwood blue suede for the mayor's study, and bright florals in yellow, pink and white for the master suite and guest bedrooms. "I wanted to brighten it," she said, "and wallpaper hides cracks in an old house like this." The kitchen, she said, was left "bare as Mother Hubbard's cupboard, not a fork, not a knife." All new-family dishes and silver had to be provided by the Beames. Collapsed in a white iron chair In her new lime green and white breakfast nook, having beaten the movers to Gracie Mansion by five minutes, she munched on quiche Lorraine and said husband Abe was expected for chicken dinner at 6:30. Like any sensible husband on moving day, he had left the Queens house at 8 a.m. "This i's my project," Mrs.

Beame sighed. "He's got problems of his own."
