A possible future Empress of Japan was graduated, last week at Washington, D. C., from the Friends’ School, a stiff Quaker seat of feminine learning. The graduate, pretty, vivacious, and popular among smart Washingtonians, is Miss Setsu Matsudaira, daughter of Japanese Ambassador Tsuneo Matsudaira, and fiancee of Prince Chichibu of Japan, brother of the Sublime Emperor.
Since Emperor Hirohito has thus far begotten only princesses (two), the heir presumptive is now Prince Chichibu, second son of the late Emperor, and his fiancee, Miss Matsudaira, may dream without presumption of Empresshood.
