situation was aggravated by
the great number of George

Hearing on
7 runsitCuts

The Palisades Citizens As
sociation last night continued
its battle for a public hearing
before the Public Utilities Com
mission on the discrimination
Of streetcar service by the D. C.
Transit System.
The decision to carry on the
fight came in the wake of
P. U. c. statement late yester,
day that no hearing on the
Cabin John line would be
granted, unless the proposed
bus service slated to replace
it proved inadequate.

official in this city who believes
enough in democracy" to ar
range a hearing. William G.
Smith, chairman Of the asso-
ciation's Public Utilities and
D. C. Government Committee,
said last night. Despite the
P. U. c. letter .. we will have a
hearing"

explain why there was so much
unJuStified haste" in ordering
the discrimination to take
place January 3.
Meeting in the Palisades Field
House, Sherrier place and Ed

also heard Stanton M. Straw
son, speaking for six citizens

that alliances with a COM

Windsor Example?
Just a few years ago q pal
ace ofiicial was quoted as
saying that II the future EN-
peror fell In love and mar
ried q commoner "the exam
pie Of the Windsors might
have to be followed" In the
minds of the older officials,
such q marriage was not only
unheard Of but unthinkable.
What these traditionalists
did not consider was the
strong will and mind Of the
Prince.
At first, the future ruler
had accepted the tradition
that o committee would
choose a bride for him, and
he asked Just the right Of
veto. However, this was be-
fore the Prince met Miss
Shoda on o tennis court at
q mountain resort. She was
over the net In a mixed dou-
bles match which the Prince
and his partner lost on the
fateful summer day in 1857.
As the pressure mounted
on all sides. Miss Shoda. who
also has q strong will. knew
that she must make her de-
cision. She sensibly realized
that her perspective would
be better q few thousand
miles away from Japan, and
planned a trip which took
her around the world.
The main reason given for
the trip W the flour mer-
chants daughter was that she
would attend the meeting in

Heart alumnae from all over

sincerely what course to take
the course which is now
known and a milestone in
the history Of Japan.
BY the time she returned
to her homeland, the rumors
were flying and her every
move was watched by news
reporters to the point that
Miss Shoda had to stay be-
hind the doors Of her fam
ily's modest two-story house
which is Western In design.
1t was at this point that
the Prince resorted to his

Miss Shoda, who has a placid
beautJ.
Through this whole opera
ton. the Crown Prince has
displayed the gift Of machi-
nation. He not only won over
the girl he wanted but the
rejoicing consent Of his coun-
try for his conquest. Instead
Of def1antly opposing the
older officials, he slowly and
cleverly changed their minds
and even II they we're not
deeply in favor of the mar
rage. they consented unani-
mously.
The method Of courtship
was another problem for the
April 10 bridegroom "a
Crown Prince Of Japan could
hardly take a girl out on a
date and SO he took to the
tennis court and the sport at
which they both excel.
The couple would meet
often this way and after a
match the insistant Prince
would arrange a tea party
with friends, who would
prove themselves just that,
repeatedly, by making them
selves scarce.
Treasured Possessions
The first memento Miss
Shoda received from her flu
ture husband was a picture
he took Of her. Another
treasured possession is a sill
yer cup with his name on it.
She received this specially
made trophy after she had
won a match at a tennis
party given by the Prince.
Many Of the old traditions
surrounding the marriage
have been modernized and
the fine hand Of the Prince
II seen in this too.
At one time the proper en-
gagement period was at least
two years and even at the
time Of the November an
nouncement it was said that
the wedding would not take
place for a year. The short
four-and-a-half month wait
ing period was unheard Of.
The present Empress had
to take 20 courses to pre-
pare herself for the role. How
ever. Miss Shoda's schedule
has been streamlined to IL.
One custom which is being
done away with is the pres
entation Of a sword to the
bride.
