THE WAX LADY
 Reoin Here TO<Iay

A novelist, seeking nocturnal ad- venture. loafs one night upon a bench in Hyde Park, London. Coming toward him he sees a little man carrying a huge bundle on his shoul- der. At Victoria Gate the man is challenged by a policeman, curious to know the contents of the bundle.
 At first the little man is impudent but finally tells the policeman he is on his way to his barber shop in Acton. In the sack he has a wax figure of woman.
 Out of curiosity the novelist fol- lows the man to learn whether he is speaking the truth. When the man turns into a direction opposite to the route to Acton he challenges him. The novelist offers the man five pounds if he will report with him to the police station. He notices that the mans finger nails are stained with machine oil.

 But ir the present surge toward McAdoo is beaten back by inc two- thirds rule sea wall. The McAdoo men do not intend that victory shall perch on the banners Of Murphy, Tsggart and Brennan.

Inc Bride

Pricess Sagako. the future empress of Japan, is the daughter Of General
 Prince Kuniyoshi Kuni, a grandson Of former late emperor of Japan. He represented the Japanese government 1 at the Hudson Fulton celebration in the United States in 1909. The moth . 1 CT Of the imperial bride is a princess of the Shama2u family. the head of the old feudal clan of Satsuma, which cmbodies all the stern virtues of tra- Gitional Japan. Princess Nagako is regarded by the Japanese nation as the personification of beauty, virtue and love. She was born in the sim plest of the princely residences of the imperial family. and her infancy was spent during the absence of her fath- CT at the front ill the Russo Japanese war. entirely under the influence of her mother. She attended the Peer esses school at q time when General Nogi was its president. and was one of the best loved girls there, being democratic in her dealings with schoolmates and teachers. of an easy and graceful bearing and quick intel lect.
 When Princess Nagako was formal ly selected as the future empress of Japan her education was specially fitted for her future duties A study of pure Japanese style was built for her and with two girl companions she took up the study of Chinese classics, Japanese language and literature, ethics, history. geography and science. X special course of lectures was ar ranged on world events. and special articles on foreign politics and eco monies were provided. The princess also studied the Japanese constitution, the imperial household law and French. She is fond of poetry, music and painting, has good soprano voice and plays the piano.. Her art studies include water colors. charcoal drawing and Japanese painting. She also has learned to use a typewriter.
 The princess is little above the average height of Japanese women and is fond of outdoor life.
 Early Engagement
 The engagement of the crown prince and Princess Nagako was first announced informally in 1918, two months before the crown prince reached his l7th birthday and when the princess was only IS.
 After the formal announcement and imperial sanction of the marriage in 1922. it was stated that simplicity would be the keynote Of the wedding ceremony. The total cost. it was then estimated, would be 5,000,000 yen iabout ss.50o,000,l Of this amount it was said two-thirds would be ex- pended in the preparations for the wedding and the purchase Of gifts while one-third would be required for the ceremony itself and the erection of special buildings
 The princess trousseau includes both foreign dresses and kimonos and q crown and necklaces, the value of which is estimated at 100000 yen. Her ceremonial robes were made fin llioto at cost Of 2o.000 yen. Her "iuni hitoe" which is a kimono of is or is kimonos worn one over the other, cost 20,o0o yen.
 The marriage date has been chang cd several times. The wedding was scheduled to take place the latter part of 1923, but at the time Of the earth quake and fire it was postponed in- definitely. Later the date was set for February and early this month it was fixed officially for today.

WHAT IS LIMIT IN
 SOLITAIRE GAME?
Judge Says "One Player," Detec-
 tive Says 1.-Two or Three'

Failure on the part of states wit ness 10 repeat In court statements he is alleged to have made to tho po- lice caused the collapse of the case against Mir. and Mrs. Steve Kopec of 40 Grove street, charged with viola ton of the liquor laws, in police court this morning. Mir. and Mrs Kopec were represented by Judge W. c. Mangan. Prosecuting Attorney Jo- seph G. Woods had charge of the states case. Judge B. W. Alling was on the bench.
 The police testified that in q raid they found a small quantity of liquor in the pantry and a five gallon can in trunk in the attic. The failure to put on the stand a man who was expected to testify that he had pur- chased drink there, caused the failure to convict. The man was not put on the stand because he is said to have reversed his testimony
 Judge Alling in reviewing the eyi- dence said there was no question but that there was liquor in the house, but there was a question in the mind of the court as to sales. there being no evidence of sale. There was some evidence of reputation. Judge Alling said. "I don't think the accused are entitled to be discharged and the court doesn't feel justified in holding them beyond reasonable doubt" said the judge. Mir. and Mrs. kopec were permitted to go under a sus- pended judgment.
 Lawyer Criticizes Police.
 Attorney Mangan in summing up his case, waxed very sarcastic at mod ern police methods of searching. He stated that the 18th amendment is a wonderful thing. but there seems to be no such thing as a mans house being his castle any more"
 4 verbal tilt occurred between Judge Mangan and Detective Thomas J. Feeney when the detective testified that a witness had been playing soli- taire with one or two others. Do you know what solitaire means?" de- manded the attorney. No" replied the detective. Don't you know it means a game that is played by one person?" asked the attorney. "J know that two or three men can play 1t, if they want to-" said the police man.
 The case of Constant Jablonski, charged with violation of the liquor law was continued until Tuesday at his own request.
