SHE HAD A LIST OF THINGS
THAT 4 MAN SHOULDN'T DO
And When She Managed to Find Man Who Didn't Do Any
Of Them She Married Hin,-Euery Girl Has
Her Requirements

A WELL-KNOWN motion picture
4 a star who was recently married had
seven requirements for her ideal hus-
band.
II never could marry n man." she
declared firmly, ''who wore tan button
shoes, or ate spinach, or carried an
umbrella, or had beard, or said I'm
feeling badly or wore a ring on his
middle finger, or sang tenor"
What a terrifying list for man to
face!
But she found one man out of the
many applicants for her heart and hand
who didn't do any of those dreadful
things.
Or, perhaps, If he does like spinach,
he has concealed his fondness for it so
successfully that she never suspects it,
Maybe some day when she rushcs into
his jewel box in search of stray quar-
ter for the gas meter or novel scarf
pin for her veil. she will run across
n telltale ring. too large for the ring
finger or the little finger and too small
for the thumb.
And his treachery will be revealed.
TT ISN'T every girl who announces
what qualifications her ideal hus-
band should have or every girl who
even acknowledges them to herself; but
they all have their requirements, these
rules of character or appearance or be-
havior, by which all suitors are meas e
urcd.

Ex-Premier of Poland and World Famous Pianist, Will Go to Ranch Tn West to Regain His Health.

New York.-Ignace Jan Pederew- ski, formerly Premier of Poland and world famous pianist, came back to America yesterday on the French liner France in search of rest. Five strenuous years of war and recon struction, he said, had put his vital ity to a severe test. He is worn out and hopes that in the quiet seclu- sion of his ranch at Paso Robles, in San Luis Obispo County, Calif., he will regain his old-time vigor and give himself again to the service of his beloved Poland.

Notice About Fur niture

In these days of ad- vertised discounts on furniture and while there is so much talk of mark-downs, we be- lieve it to be good 1 judgment to state our policy regarding fur niture. Many people | are governed by dis | counts and cut prices rather than values. Wise buyers consider first the quality of an article and the high est grade goods are the cheapest in the long run.
 Soon t he annual spring renovating per iod will begin and every household will have its own special activities. We make t hi $ announcement. We have gone over tn e furniture stock carefully and have made further reduc- tions on all goods re- ceived before the first of the year. These prices are now at a level lower than to- day. $ replacement prices.
 | Those desiring good furniture should be gov erne d by the actual value of a piece rather than the amount of discount received.

London-Domestic and interna tion problems of transcending inn portance will confront Parliament when it is convened tomorrow with speech from the throne after a recess since December 23, 1920.
 Premier Lloyd-George will face a new test of his political strength and it is certain that the new session will mark the beginning of great strug- gle between the Tories and Liberals for control of the coalition govern ment.
 Political adherents of the Premier claim that his position has been strengthened by the decision of the pose more than $56,OO0,O 100000 in demnity upon Germany. It was re- called that, in the last campaign pre- ceding the general election the Premier took for one of his main is- sues the slogan:

 Issues that are pending between Great Britain and the United States make virtually certan that a con- debate will have "an American angle"

 The making public of the official
 communications was followed by a
 visit of Prince Kuni to the Emperor
 and the Empress. CDespatches from
 Tokio have pointed out that the fam

 The newspapers charge an intrigue to annul the betrothal of the Crown Prince and Princess Nagako, while Tirohito is abroad, was launched by Baron Nakamura, and that he is supported by Field Marshal Yamaga- ta, one of the elder statesmen. It appears that several distinguish ea parliamentarians recently wrose Va magata, accusing him of interference | in the love affair, and that they sub sequently sent circulars to all the Imperial Princese.

Tokio.-The proposed visit at an early date of the Japanese Grown Prince to Ensland has behind it a court intrigLe.'' The case is de- clared to form one of the most ex- traordinary incidents in the dynastic history of the empire.
 Allegations have been made to the effect that the real reason for the visit abroad of Crown Prince Hirch- ito is due to introgue within the court to bring about a cancellation of the betrothal of the Grown Prince to the Princess Nagako, daughter of Gen. Prince Kuni. The household de- partment has issued an official state ment to the effect that "humors seem to be current concerning the engagement of the Crown Prince to Princess Nagako, but that the nation should understand that no change whatsoever is contem plated concern ing the marriage contract, as al- ready informally settled.
 With a view to removing doubts and uneasy feelings on the part of the people" the Home Department has issued similar communication. This communication adds that Baron Ma kamura. Minister of the Household, has decided to resign. It is report
