She was commissioned to do the in- terior art work in the palace of Prince Abamelik-Lazaroff which was being built on the style of Louis XVI of France. This called for the making of numerous busts, plaqués end friezes with which the palatial halls, reception rooms and banqueting halls were decorated. So well did she carry out the decorative scheme that her work attracted the notice of members of the Russian royal household, and she was engaged to make several busts of personages connected with the royal family.

NOTED JAP THIEF IS STILL AT LARGE Tokyo, Feb. 7.--Successfully elud- ing the police who have been after him for months, Tokyo's most talked of thief, known popularly as the "Preaching Burgular," broke'into an- other man's home at Zoshigaya and made away with a small sum of mon- ey. True to the habit which has earn- ed for him the nickname, the thief preached a long sermon to his vic- tim before bidding him goodnight, It was the 65th robbery known to have been committed by the same man. The police have no trouble in know- ing who is responsible for cach time the reports made by the victims are the same. After riflling the house at Zosh- igaya the "Preaching Burglar" sat down in the bedroom of the man he had robbed and proceeded to give a long discourse on the benefits of sleep. It would do the robbed man no good to make a disturbance, he ur- hours of sound sleep would improve his general temperament. Lack of sleep, he concluded, would interfere with his work at the office the next y. Thereupon the "Preaching Burg- far" took a pack of cards and play- ed solitaire until dawn. When it be- gan to grow light he said "sayonara" and was off.
