The gathering of royalty in the Italian capital ana splendors of the celebration served to recall other com- parable occasions. Royal weddings, even since the World War, which saw the "nd of some of the rcigninx houses of Europe, have had for bridegr ;om and bride a number of important princes and prin- cesses, and each has seemed to catch and hold, 'even as in other days, the imagination of peoples in many lands. er uuiirui c./o.i;u >" >">- i . - , ., .

The Winnipeg police have solved the mysttry surrounding a strange burglar, known as the "havdboiled one." because in a recent burglary perpetrated in this city, a few days before Christmas, he had th nerve t use a church building as tho spot in which to open a safe and se- cure his loov.. A similar case had not previously been known in Winnipeg. The burglar in question is James Stewart, who, in the Winnipeg policeT court, pleaded guilty to seven charges; of breaking and entering after beinjp, caught burglarizing a Piggly-Wigglyj store in the central part of the city*) Stewart is only 21 years of age, but in his criminal operations, the detec* lives say, displayed a hardihood andj coolness not U> be cxpectd from a mer^ youth. On the night of Dec. 10 the office* of the Suburban Rapid Transit Co., in the west end of the city, was the scene of a spectacular burglary. The company had a small safe which wa missing from its accustomed plaoe when clerks opened the office the fcrt- j lowing morning. J The same morning the caretaker of I the Parkview United church nearby j found that during the preceding night the sacred edilee haJ been used i'or i an unusual purpose.
