Conaterna tlon prevailed at Buckingham paJace last week when It was discovered that Princess Victoria, the king's only unmarried daugh ter, had taken it into her head to drive to Brighton on Alfred Vanderbilt'a ooach. Th prince, who In ordinary clrcum stance I staid . enough, got bitten like other society damsel . with th desire to it on the box seat betide the young million air. Bhe got her great friend, the Mar quite d'Hsutpoul (who wa Mr. Btoner before her marriage and grew up with the "Wale girls") to book seat. Th mar qulse Is fond of a lark and entered thoroughly Into the fun, taking the pre caution, however, to procure the places under assumed name. The story goes that the "driver" got wind of . the Identity of hi distinguished guests and gave the seat of honor beside himself to her royal high ness. From Brighton, where the princes and her friend put up at the residence of the princes royal In Kemptown, Victoria tele phoned to the king that sh wa having "the time of her life;" explained that the marquise wan with her and please do not be cross, aa not a living soul had recognized them.

Th religious conviction of hi father-ln-lsw-to-be prevented Joseph Llpsey from getting license fisturday morning and that Important preliminary to his marrlags to Tlllie Wolf had to be postponed until Mon day. Tillle la only 17 years of age, and It is necessary for her father, Benjamin Wolf, te sign a written consent to her marriage before the license can be Issued. Mr. Wolf accompanied his future son-in-law to the court house to get the license. Marriage License Clerk Furay wrote out the consent and handed Wolf a pen to sign It. , "I keep Saturday," ha aald. "I won't sign my name today. You write my nsmn for m." Mr. Furay explained he would have to sign hi own name, but he still balked. "Wa will put It oft until Monday," he declared. In vain th groom-to-b pleaded with him to sign.

LONDON. June 13. (Special.) A th marriage of Ml Jean Whltelaw Reid to th Hon. John Ward will tk place, by special permission of King Edward, at th Chapel Royal on Tueday the 2Sd, there will be but a moit select few lit the way of guetta Invited to the notable ceremony. Being a private place of worthlp for the king and queen and membere of the royal family the Chapel Royal it neceesarily mall. It It part of Bt. Jame' palac. th rel- dence of the prince of Wales, occupying one corner of the main quadrangl. The window on tn outer side open on "Am bassadors' Court," on the other side they face the Inner court of the palace. One end. the east or altar end, abut on Pall Mall, th other, where the royal gallery Is, adjoins the royal apartments, having door leading from them. Besides the royal pews, with their crowned backs of gold, there are also four other pews, high backed and upholstered In rich red cloth, two on each side of th broad center aisle, facing on the aisle In the manner of old time churchet. Th royal choriater. attired In knickerbockers and long red coat trimmed with gold, son of England' proudest families, are crowded close In a double row beside the tiny altar. Before the palace, and, of course, before the thspcl, pace constantly red-coated senti nels of the royal guard. Roralty to Be There. It 1 expected that the king and queen by their presence will honor the wedding 6f - the American ambassador's daughter to a favorite equerry-ln-ordlnary, though their majesties may be called away from London on matters of state or otherwise prevented from attending. Should the un expected happen, however, representatives will grace the royal pew. The two pewt on the right hand of the church will be occupied, a 1 th custom on such occa Ions, by the king's household, the diplo matic corps and such members of the gov ernment who attend officially; those on the left will be filled by the Reld family and the Dudleys, or, to call them by their family name, the Wards. This small as sembly will fill the seating capacity of the chapel. It Is not the custom to decorate the Chapel Royal In the manner of public churches, and but for two vases of roses on the altar the somber Interior of the king' place of worship will not be changed. The ceremony will, be performed by Rev. Edgar Sheppard, sub-dean of the chapel. with on of the English - bishops and rector from New York. There will be no bridesmaids, unless the bride-to-be changes her mind before the wedding day, only the little daughters of Lord Dudley, the Ladles Honor and Morvyth Ward, will attend Miss Reld. The published report concern lng bridesmaid are, I am told, an error. Reception to Follow. Though the church function,- which take place at t o'clock, must needs be so exclu sive, there will be a reception at Dorchester House, which the friend of the Reld and the Dudley will all be asked to attend. The . spacious msnslon. large enough for the ambassador's Fourth of July entertain ment, will easily accommodate the 400 guests who will get Invitations for this Occasion. To enumerate these guests would be to give a list of the cream of the British aristocracy, to record the names of' the foreign ambassadors, minister and plenl polentlarle to London and to name the American who have made a place for themselves In London society. There will be pclal guests who come from the con tinent, from Paris, Berlin and even Rome, and not a few who especially crost the -water from New York and Washington, and yet will rot have a chance to see the actual wedding. I am Informed at the embassy that It has not yet been decided where the honeymoon will be spent. The ccntlnent at this sum mer season haa no charm for such fortunate folk aa may spend the winter there, and an Erjgllah country house In summer will undoubtedly harbor the Honorable and Mrs. John Ward at the Initial period of their married life. Nearly a score of country houses, the homes of friends, of dukes and peer and lesser men, have been offered to the popular young Englishman or to the winning American girl. There la a chotqe of any part of England or the highlands of Scotland open to them. But tha ancestral home of the Dudleys, Whitley Court. Is the place where the Honorable John Is likely to take his bride. Lord Dudley Soon to Leave. At this moment the secluded Worcester shire estate is tenanted only by servants, Lord Dudley, Mr. Ward's elder brother, to whom the place belongs. Is at his town house In Carlton Gardens. He Is In I.on don settling his affairs snd bidding adieu to the official world before his departure at the end of the month for Auntralla, where he goes, by the king's appoint ment, as governor general. At his fare' well dinner to the king snd queen. Miss Reid was the only young woman present. Of course, the king's equerry, In at tendance periodically upon King Edward must have a town house as well as country place. His rresent house In Ches terfleld street, Mayfair. about two blocks from Dorchester House, Is only la rue enough for a bachelor who dines only his men friends; and he end Miss Reld nre now looking out for an adequate, well located establishment. With the departure of Ixird and Lady Dudley, 7 Carlton Gardens, wljl he vacsnt already furnished and with a staff o( servants In attendance. It Is likely, I am told, that this will be the towd resi dence selected by the new married pair, at least for a season It Is delightfully lo cated In one of those charming London backwaters off a main thoroughfare. Carlton Gardena numbers, all told, hut seven houses, all the homes of ambassa dors or noblemen. It Is quiet and se cluded, where the public never come except to gate and wonder, yet but a step from thronged Pall Mall with Its rows of Im portsnt clubs and its endless traffic of cabs and motor cars. The Dudley house la also In sight, across the gardens, of St AJsmes' palace. It Is a place of some twenty rooms, navmg an me appoinimems of ball room and spacious dining hall, etc., necessary for a man who must entertain officially. Nevertheless, , It Is unpreten tious In exterior appearance, resembling only a gentleman' private home. A Bnsy Coartahlp. At present the Honorable John Ward Is, so to speak, off duty at Buckingham palace, the king having granted him a leave of absence that will allow him a long honeymoon. He Is spending most of his time at Dorchester house, going over from Chesterfield street soon after break fast, and shopping and paying call with Mis Reld, then going with her to aomi friend to dinner almost every evening.

Mr. an J M ENGLAND'S LICENSING BILL Liberal Government Stakes Existence On Passage of Measure. GEEAT BRITAIN MUCH AE0USED Threaten to Affect Thousands of Peo plo With SmsUl Capital Property Tain of License. LONDON, Jun IS. (Special.) For a gen eration no measure in England haa aroused greater bitterness on the one side or greater enthusiasm on th other than the licensing bill. It Is no exaggeration to say that the present liberal government has staked Its existence on the passage of the measure. The bill contains two outstanding fea tures: Th reduction In the number of places licensed for the tale of intoxicating drinks, and th "tlm limit."- There are a host of minor provisions, but with th ex ception of the proposed legislation for clubs they are of little Importance and are de Signed only to give effect to the main pro visions. In England the theory of the law Is that the "house," or place where liquor la sold. Is licensed, and not the man who sells It, ss in America. Th licenses are nominally D. O. Mills and Miss Mills, whs have r- j renewable every year at the pleasure of rived from America, will be with them. T.ie "th cMlng Justices" (th Ju.tlce cf the king's host on a visit such ks this became as tt were the king's most honored gu-st In his own house. It is not for him to select tha hous party. H receives a Hit of those who will coma with the king, and then submits a list of those he proposes peac of the district, sitting as a licensing board), but In practice a license once granted la automatically renewed. From this system of. annual renewals has grown up the Idea of property In licenses. Th difference between the value of a house K- Idea of property In licenses Is to cease, no mor compensation ts to be paid and every existing license is then to be treated ex actly a la new license In which no prop erty right can be claimed. Financial Provisions. The financial provisions of the bill ar those which are arousing most opposition. The bill proposes to make the liquor trad pay for Its own extinction. Th compensa tion fund Is to be provided by an annual levy on the existing licenses, a a condition of their renewal. The obviou result of this 1 that the holder of license which are extinguished will be paid off by those whose licenses ar allowed to contlnu, but at the end of the fourteen-year "tlm limit" those who have been paying to buy out their fellow, will be liable to immediate extinction without compensation. The number of license which will b permitted to exist In a given district Is to be calculated on the density of population. Thus tn a district where th population la two or less to the acre, one saloon will be allowed, for every 4C0 people. This allow ance rises gradually until In districts where ther are 200 people to th acre on saloon will be allowed for every 1,000 persons. Tne provisions for clubs, which have also aroused bitter opposition, ar de signed to pravent bogus organisations tak ing the place of the extinguished saloons. Every club must take out a license for the sale of liquor and is liable to Inspection by the police at any time. If th police discover any irregularity "s license is liable to be suspended for t . . This provision hit particularly at th ' ,j king men's club which abound In all tha In dustrial centers and many of which ar really only places where the British work- Ingman can get all he want to drink on Sunday and at other' time whan th aloon ar closed. A these club ar very powerful politically, It 1 likely that thl provision will be dropped or modified bo for tha bill become a law. Whll ther 1 a strong feeling In favor of temperance In England, ther I prac tically no prohibition sentiment. The liquor trad is universally regarded a a legiti mate business, and the desire of all parties I to prevent harm being don by th creation of an artificial demand.

The salary of an American ambassador would not go far tn defraying the extraordinary expenses entallej by such a vlot. New clothes and Uverlei for the score of servants t Wrest prk will form only a mall Hem in th bl.I, but It Is one of thos small things from which th) great may be Imagined. The wedding, taking plac June ti, pre cede th ambassador's Fourth of July re ception by eleven days. Whi: Miss Pell will no longer b present to grace th's annual "occasion, no other difference will be noticed. Thl reunion of Americans, high and low, great and small, will' be held, I am told. In the usual manner. In vitations will be extended to every Ameri can, who expresses a desir to be present, while they will be wlth-held. so not to overcrowd th house, from sll Eng lh fplk and foreigner. Th gardens of th em bassy will be canopied and th house dee orated as for th wedding. In the course of very short time, on th retirement of Lord Knollys, Mr. Ward. It Is expected, will become King Edward s secretsry. This position will carry with It. aa a matter of course, a peersge, and Miss Reid will bcom a baroness,. U not a vis Owners la In Arm. It will be understood at once then, that the propofal to reduce the number of 11 lenned houses has aroused 'the bitterest op position among the owners of such houses, and as a large number of the owners ar licensed brewlr.g companies this opposition has been vary powerful. A feature that has contributed to the strength of the op position Is that brewery shsres hav been a favorite form of Investment for peopW with small capital, who, quits naturally, ar alarmed -and enraged at th prospect of legislation which would affect the value and security of thes Investments. The theory on which the bill is based Is that there ar too mny licensed house In England, snd thst the consequent tempta tion to drink Is sapping the national life No on who goes about th town of Eng land with hla eve open can doubt that this theory Is correct. Four or five drinking place In a row are common sights and even In the smaller houses It Is hsrd to under stand how all saloon can live.
