Japanese Prince Is To Wed Commoner Shattering 2,618 Years Os Tradition TOKYO fUPI)—The world loves lovers, and the story - book romance of Crown Prince Akihito and the pretty commoner he wooed and won had Japan floating on a rosy cloud today. The simple, 38-word announcement of Akihito’s engagement to 24-year-old Michiko Shoda, shattering 2,618 years of tradition, was a source of joy throughout the nation. It created a prospect of Miss Shoda, the daughter of a wealthy flour-mill executive, becoming the first commoner to share Japan's throne since the world’s oldest reigning dynasty took it over in 660 B.C. Expect Fall Wedding Speculation immediately turned to a wedding date. The best guess is that it will be no later than next fall. Although the engagement is for practical purposes a fact, it doesn’t become official until the parents of the prospective bride and groom exchange gifts of fish and rice wine - — probably when the Shodas visit the Imperial Palace later today. It is even possible, although unlikely in view of the stiffness of Japanese court etiquette, that the sweethearts may be alone together at least long enough for a few whispered endearments during the family visit. “Yes” Over Telephone If they are, it will be the first time the 24-year-old prince — he turns 25 Dec. 23—has ever seen his fiancee alone. Their courtship was conducted at tennis matches, or among groups of friends. After rejecting his proposal several times. Miss Shoda finally whispered “yes” over the telephone. The engaged couple have captured the fancy of the Japanese people because she is one of them, rather than royalty. And he had the courage to fight for and finally win her. Foreign Minister Aiichiro Fujiyama said today it was “a triumph of youth and love.” The first concrete rural road was laid in Wayne County, Mich..

When one is a house guest, should one make the move to go to bed or does the hostess make this suggestion? • A.

Is a girl obligated to explain to a man why she must refuse a date with him? A. She can explain that she is sorry, but that she is busy on that particular evening—but she shouldn’t elaborate .too much, or she will become unconvincing. Q. What is the customary tip for a hatcheck girl? A. From 15 to 25 cents per person, depending upon the type of restaurant of club.
