with more ease, not less.* Xx * JFOLLOWING the discovery that the Public Utilities Commission is without power, comes the statement that the Metropolitan Parks Commission, appointed by the Legislature, is equally innocuous because it has no money at its disposal and no power | to obtain any.About the only power conferred upon the commissioners seems to be that of drawing fat salaries for services which they are unable to perform.What is Sir Lomer\u2019s little Joke, anyway?THIS is the time of year when our unpaved lanes, with their winter's accumulation of litter, combined with the gloriously haphazard system of cleaning ' them which prevails at the City Hall, provide the\u2019 necessary breeding grounds for the quadrillions of flies which during the summer will excite some public spirited journal into starting a fly swatting contest\" at so much per pound, during which the younger generations will be encouraged to forage gleefully in all the unpleasant places where flies gather most pro- usely.H OX OH I REFUSE to credit the report sent out from Ottawa last week that certain of the Opposition members had cabled to Sir Rufus Isaacs, the Attorney-General, and had obtained from him an opinion disqualifying certain rulings of Speaker Sproule and making it necessary to re-introduce the Naval Bill and begin the | fight all over again.I refuse to believe that parliamentarians who a few days ago were threatening to \u201ccut the painter\u201d and to send out invitations for another \u201cBoston Tea Party\u201d because of Winston Churchill's letter, would so soon risk the displeasure of Mr.Emmerson and Mr.Neeley by inviting another British cabinet official to participate in Canadian affairs.It is too absurd.X% # Ne Xx MY congratulations to the American residents of Montreal who have recently organized themselves into a social club to cultivate one another\u2019s acquaintance and to keep alive the ideals of their republic.mercial and business Montreal owes more to the enterprise of the American residents among us than is generally credited.The average American residing in Canada is inclined to keep his nationality in the background, due to a mistaken notion that Canadians hold some sort of a prejudice against it.As an evidence of this, I am told that before the American Club of Montreal was duly organized some of its promoters went to the length of visiting some of the local newspaper publishers to inquire whether such an organization here would be met with newspaper opposition.In every large American city the Canadian club is a recognized and a welcome institution, and there is not the slightest reason why every important Canadian city should not have its American Club.* KK xk THREE thousand young women engaged in office | work in this city are said to be joining in a petition ' to the manufacturers of moving picture films asking them to desist from the practice of depicting the office ' girl as a wanton flirt and a willing victim to the wiles : of her sportive employer.The motive behind the petition is a laudable one and it is to be hoped that the film-makers will give heed to the request.Of course the opportunity for ridiculing the young women responsible for the petition is too good a one for the facetious and callow newspaper men to overlook, and consequently we find our clever dailies treating the efforts of the young women to protect their profession from aspersion as something excruciatingly funny.We are reminded of the movement of the Irish societies a few years ago which resulted in banishing the obnoxious Irish caricature from the stage.If we remember aright, these same newspapers treated the Irishmen's protest with dignity and respect and even went so far as to banish the banal Irish libel from their own columns.Why the different treatment accorded to the office girls?x # OK M°TOR-BOATING, I am told, is growing in popularity about Montreal, the show which opens at the Arena today being but a casual evidence of the interest taken in the pastime.Personally, I cannot say that ! enjoy motor-boating.Of course I have had but one experience.A motorboat crank invited me to take a trip in his boat on Lake St.Louis one night last summer.I accepted, with half a dozen other unsuspecting victima, All went well until the boat had carried us about two miles from the landing and then the + ! | ! i engine stopped and we were stalled in the middle of the lake.Instead of trying to find out the cause of the trouble, my motorboat friend reached under his seat and uced a flute and a squeaky violin which none of us new were there.He and his assistant thereupon proceeded to give us an amateur concert which lasted for about two hours.I know something about music, but, unfortunately, I can\u2019t swim, so there was nothing for me to do but stay.After they had played to their heart's content my friend restarted his engine, and after sailing us around the lake for half-an-hour landed us at the boat house and once more set us free.But I have never had any desire for motorboating since.If I ever accept another invitation it will be only after being | given absolute assurance that there are no instruments | ; of torture aboard.: aturday MONTREAL, SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 1913 [ Thro\u2019 the Looking Glass (177 16 Pages] Five Cents.ALICE YORKE The popular Canadian light opera prima donna, who has repeated her \u2018\u2019The Chocolate Soldier\u201d success by an all-season\u2019s appearance in \u2018The Man With Three Wives,\u201d at the Casino, New York.Com- ' engagement in Boston and is expected to make a visit to Montreal this season.has many friends in Montreal.The company is now filling an Miss Yorke is a native of Toronto and SIR WILLIAM McDONALD has long been the | despair of Montreal newspaper interviewers.City editors in sending out reporters to round up| public opinion on \u201cShould Craig street be provided with a draw-bridge?\u201d or \u201cWhat shall we do with our | superfluous girls?\u201d never by any chance include the name of Sir William among those to be interviewed.They know better.Hence, it is all the greater achieve- | ment for a Toronto writer to have secured an interview with Sir William and to have penetrated the veil of | mystery which has hitherto enveloped Montreal's Tobacco King.The writer is Mr.Augustus Bridle | and his momentous interview appears in the current | number of the Canadian Courier.The interviewer tells how he eluded the vigilance of the brawny Scotsman who acts as Sir William's factotum and how he | found Sir William preparing to leave his office at the moment.The \u2018\u2018interview\u201d in full follows: | \u2018\u201cYes,\"' he said.\u2018I must be off.I am late now.I'm sorry 1 can\u2019t talk to you.interested in rural schools, but\u2014\u201d He stepped into the elevator.\u2018Don\u2019t you find this sort of conveyance rather hard on your nerves?\u2019 asked the interviewer.**No,\u201d he answered crisply.\u2018\u2018Such things are good for one's nerves,\u201d This completed the interview, but it is only fair to Mr.Bridle to say that he made a very entertaining: two-thousand word sketch out of it in addition to qualifying for the Hall of Fame as The Writer Who Interviewed Sir William McDonald.* Xx x # A LOCAL sporting writer opines that the reason lacrosse is growing into disuse is \u201ctoo much organization of the wrong kind and too little organization I have a meeting.Yes, I'm of the right kind.\u201d Isn't it just possible that the decline may be due to the fact that the game depends for its popularity on organization of anv kind.Lacrosse is going to join the Indians who originated it, while young Canada is turning to a game which is more characteristic of the times in which we live.If you don\u2019t believe it, take a stroll through Fletcher's Field or Lafontaine Park any Saturday or Sunday afternoon during the summer season.# # * ONE of the successful business men who wrote to the Rev.A.P.Shatford the other week affirming the possibility of carrying on a business on strictly Christian methods, quoted by way of illustration the attitude of his own firm in regard to shop girls.It is notorious that , many shop girls do not get paid enough to enable them to live respectably, and it is equally notorious that many girls, in order to eke out ir inadequate incomes, - resort to deplorable means in order to augment them.' The employer referred to stated that when a girl was ' engaged by his firm a special point was made to ascertain whether she was living at hotne or not, and if she | was not living at home she was given a larger wage than she would otherwise be, in order that it might be assured ' that she should have enough to live on.\u201c # # » \"THIS is all right as far as it goer, but it may be questioned whether it is Christianity carried to its: logical conclusion.For instance if it is recognised as necessary Lo give à girl away from home a living wage.why should it not considered necessary to give a girl who is at home a living wage as well\u201d Can it be considered that the Christian ideal of a square deal is carried out by paying any girl, no matter whether she lives at home or not, less than a living wage?1 think not.It is quite true that a girl living at home would ordinarily have far less temptation to go wrong than a girl in lodgings, even if her wages amounted to a mere pittance.But her services are just as valuable as the services of any other girl, and ought to be paid for accordingly.x # OX # BT to my mind two far more serious questions are raised.First of all, I think it is an insult to womanhood to fix the wages well-educated, well-bred, and refined girls, such as most store girls are, by a standard calculated upon the minimum required to keep such girls off the street.Secondly, to underpay girls who live at home\u2014and there is no getting away from the fact that that is being done if they are not being given as much as will allow them to pay their way as girls living from home have to do\u2014is to trade upon the generosity of parents, for if the girls cannot pay their way, then the parents, or somebody else, have to make up the difference.In other words, a firm which pays girls living at home less than the minimum recognised as absolutely necessary for girls living away from home seems to me to be \u201c\u2018sponging' on the parents, since they are getting energy and respectability for less than these cost to maintain.They are trading on the generosity of parents, and from a Christian standpoint I do not see that the offence is minimised at all by saying that the few dollars which are paid to such girls are very helpful in the girls\u2019 homes.The laborer is worthy of his hire , every time, no matter whether the laborer be a defenceless girl or a business manager, and no hire can be considered a Christian hire which is less than will maintain that laborer's efficiency.x # # HEN again the fact that a girl is living at home does not necessarily mean that she can live any cheaper ' than a girl away from home.Many a girl who goes out to work goes as much to help support her parents or other relations as to keep herself.Neither she nor her people might care to reveal to an employer, or to anybody else, the real distress existing in such a home, and a girl living at home receiving less than a living wage might be actually driven to a life of shame by the very syatem held up as an example of a Christian method of conducting business.To my mind no other method can be considered absolutely and logically Christian which does not pay a fair wage for a fair day's work, and a fair wage is nothing less than will enable an employee to live reepectably, and have at any rate a small surplus.À commission sitting in Chicago has been uct- 'ing an investigation into this subject, and the employers of store girls have laid down that $8 a week is a living wage.A girl there can hardly get a room, however, for less than $4 a week, and $4 per week for seven days\u2019 meals in restaurants provides a fare which is better than starvation, but is certainly, not enough to keep girls from becoming anaemic and consumptive.Then the girls have to be clothed, and surely they are eatitled to a little pocket money for the purposes of recreation?* x 0% THE girls on their part declare that $12 a week should be the minimum wage.But the employers retort that if $12 per week is paid, then that brings men into competition with girls, and men's laber being more efficient, they would discharge most of their girls and employ men instead, which would make it worse than ever for girls saxious to earn their own living.Here, indeed, is a 'm, and one which I confess I cannot solve.Persome of my lady readers can help me out at this point.CADILLAC.$250.00 IN CASH PRIZES FOR THE BEST MIRRORGRAMS.SEE PAGE 15.5 tm a mt.

It is constructed of buff colored Indiana limestone and pressed Roman brick of harmonious shade, the attractiveness of the design consisting mainly in simplicity of treatment, richness of material, and agreeable : fenestration.The basement story, with the curving ramps of the broad entrance steps, is of limestone, and is followed by brick walls, the stone- capped pilasters of which support the fluted architrave, plain frieze and ornamented cornice of the limestone en- tablature.Thecorniceof the atticstory The Upper Hall.is surmounted by a parapet consisting | \u2014 of alternate sections of plain stone- ;

and all the right-minded men of Happy Parallel burst into applause.\u2018\u2018When you are sick you come to women to be nursed; and yet, in your ingratitude you turn upon them as though they were your enemies, and say that they cannot represent you at the polls.You owe your very life to the fact that your mother risked her life to bear you\u2014and yet forsooth, she cannot represent your interests! Shame on you!\u201d When such wise and incontrovertible statements as these were made by well-known women the feeling against the Man Suffragists waxed high.They ceased to be objects of ridicule and became objects of contempt.But they did not cease to talk.\u201cYou are wearisome,\u2019 replied the women, \u2018we quite realize that you, following your natural instincts, risk our lives in war; that is your nature.o die for his country is man\u2019s highest and noblest function; but that very fact disqualifies him from taking part in the peaceful concerns of the home and the administration of the State; for his military duties often take him for months at a time away from the industrial life of the community; and fighting itself, though necessary and even noble, has a deteriorating effect upon the mind and character.When a man's blood is up he cannot be expected to take that cool and domesticated outlook on things which is necessary if we are to govern wisely and make just laws.\u2019 \u201cWe do not all fight,\u201d answered the men, \u2018only about one in twenty is needed even in war time.rest of us who are left at home do not turn to bloodshed and warfare, but remain quiet and law-abiding citizens.So even if you feel it nec- cessary to withhold the vote from us while we are on active service just as you do from the women when they are actually performing the supreme function of maternity\u2014even then there is no reason why you should not let the non-fighters have it.\u201d \u2018Fighting is man's sphere,\u201d was the sage answer.\u2018\u2019A nice thing it would be if we rewarded men for deserting their sphere.What would the army think of us?Soon they would be refusing to fight in order to vote, and then where would the country be?\u201d THEN there was the \u2018 physical force\u2019 argument.Men were stronger than women; they were by nature fighters and if allowed to exercise political power they would try to over-ride justice by physical violence and if physical force were allowed to dictate terms, who could have any confidence in the laws?\u201cWe have always been physically strong,\u2019 answered the Man Suffragists, \u2018 Why should we do dreadful things simply because we have the vote?\u201d ** Because,\u201d said the other side, \u201cyou would follow your belligerent instinets and fight and wrangle in the very House itself; and before long we should probably have you declaring that physical force was the ultimate basis of government; and highly civilized States would be driven into spending their revenue on naval and military armaments; so that in the end the only limit to the competition of state against state would be manhood conscription or something of that sort.No, the thing's unthinkable! We can't tolerate the idea for an instant!\u201d \u201cThat!\u201d replied the Man Suffraists, \u2018\u2018might very possibly happen n states where only men could vote; but we are not proposing anythin so absurd.All we say is that i we do all the fighting and much of the labor we ought to have a voice in the choosing the law-makers, at least.\u201d \u2018\u2018 Impossible!\u201d cried the people of Happy Parallel.\u2018Why suppose the army were spoiling for a fight; it might hurry us into war for no other reason; while if it were sick of war it might want peace for no other reason; and how then could we protect the interests of the home?Can't ou see what a dangerous policy you anatics are advocating?\u2019 \u2018Why should the vote change human nature?\u201d asked the man.\u201cWe have always been at liberty to run away if we did not want to fight; and we could always fight among ourselves if we wanted to; but these things bave rarely happened.It does not seem fair to deny us the vote on that account.\u2018 But the anti-suffragists thought it quite fair.\u201cIf only you would be content with your proper sphere!\u2019 they wailed.\u201cWe know what will happen; you will seize all the quiet indoor occupations and all those important posts which require the dignity and prestige of women; you wil create a sex war, supplant the women, and break up the home.You will try to do the intellectual work, leaving the stupidest of your sex to do the field work; and agricultural prosperity will diminish aad the country will go to the dogs.\u2018 And they burst into ' uncontrolled laughter in which laugh- And the | | !

Fancy living under trouser government!\u201d That rather settled it.Fur men, who were by habit hard swearers and hard drinkers, smokers, and, in many cases, makers of dubious jokes, for such beings, as | say, to be admitted to the legislature \u201c\u2018reeking of the bar and the smoking saloon\u201d as one woman put it, was clearly inconsistent with the dignity of the Mother of Parliaments.Moreover, men did not care about polities and would be likely to sell their votes for a glass of beer.hey might even go drunk to the polls.And as for Parliament; why men _ would naturally rely upon their charm to win the votes of susceptible women, and would rely, when they got into Parliament upon their physical strength.They would, in consequence, ignore the authority of the Speaker; when they got hot in argument they might even threaten one another with their fists; and Parliament, instead of being a deliberative assembly, would become a bear-gar- en.It was even rumoured that in a far distant and called Canada where men did have the privilege of sitting in Parliament these disorders had actually occurred; men had gone so far as 1 | | A, FANS MA sy .th \u2014The Bystanderto shake their fists in the Speaker\u2019s face and insist on speakin against his ruling.\u2018* There!\u201d said the people : of Happy Parallel, triumphantly, | \u201cnow you see the result of allowing | men to leave their proper sphere! Even the women in the Canadian Parliament were evidently not sufficiently numerous to quell these riots by pointing out their inconsistency with all pretensions to self govern- | ment and dignity.\u201d | \u2018There are no women in the Canadian Parliament,\u201d explained an authority.: \u2018Oh, then of course you can t won- | der at anything!\u201d eried the Happy Parallelers, laughing consumedly at what they thought a mere traveller's tale.For how could anyone imagine a land ruled solely by men! men with mutton chop whiskers and pipes and high collars crawling up to their ears.Absurd! » Nk x BUT gradually more and more men began to think that they had a right to vote; and large number of the most prominent and intellectual women took their part, and petition after petition was sent to Parliament; and woman after woman there asked that the question be made a serious issue; but every bill was defeated by ridicule, or else shelved; and the men : grew tired, So they began to make things very unpleasant for the women in power.; They interrupted meetings; they held meetings of their own; they tried to force their way into Parliament.They were imprisoned, and in some cases disabled for life by the violence shown them; but nothing could daunt their spirit and it is difficult to say what might have been the end, had not a i at the Sign of the P Raver Decarienn.\u2014!

which it very possibly would have been.In their fear of this alarming possibility, however, they failed to distinguish between the cheap daily newspaper and the higher-priced weekly, with the result that such papers as THE SATURDAY Mirror, whieh under no circumstances would be likely to impose any undue burden upon the delivery system, are penalized with a postal charge (in their own cities) far in excess of the cost of handling, and so heavy as to take all prospect of profit out of subscriptions for mail delivery in the city\u2014a state of affairs which would not matter in the least to the periodicals which are published to oblige the advertisers, but is serious to those papers in which the advertiser is kept in his proper secondary position.While Mr.Pelletier is considering the right of the big dailies to free transportation at the cost of the country, he might also take into consideration the right of the weeklies to transportation in their own city at a price proportionate to the cost of the service.* Kk OX It has been suggested that the relative proportions ' of advertising and reading matter should be borne in mind in fixing the charge to be made for handling ere is V-@nder The Barber\u2019s Knife.LEACOCK FAMILIAR INCIDENTS +++ By STEPHEN B.: me ER | ** Been out of town?\" he questioned.: \u201cYes,\u201d | admitted.| ing over me and speaking in his con- \u201cWho's been doing your work?\u201d , fidential whisper.he asked.This question, from a: \u201cYes,\u201d I said, \u2018I was there.\u201d barber, has no reference to one\u2019s daily He saw from this that I could still , occupation.It means \u2018who has been speak.So he laid another thick wet shaving you.\u2019 i towel over my face hefore he spoke\u2019 I knew it was best to own up.I'd] again.been in the wrong and I meant to | \u201cWhat did vou think of the game?\u201d acknowledge it with perfect frankness.' he asked.I've been shaving myself,\u201d I said.4 But he had miscalculated.1 could My barber stood back from me still make a faint sound through the .in contempt.There was a distinct wet towels.He laid three or four | sensation all down the line of barbers.more very thick ones over my face One of them threw a wet rag in a and stood with his five finger tips corner with a thud, and another sent pressed against my face for support.ia sudden squirt from an atomiser : A thick steam rose about me.into his customer's eyes as a mark\u2019 Through it 1 could hear the barber\u2019s of disgust.vaice and the flick-flack of the razor My barber continued tu look at as he stropped it.me narrowly.AS you to the Arena the other night?\" said the barber lean- Many Things ** *The time has come,\u2019 the Walrus said, \u2018to talk of many things.\u201d \u201d IT is with deep regret that I have to announce my firmly established decision, never to take up my residence, in any circumstances whatever, within the borders of the State of Ohio.TI am, of course, fully aware of the grief and despair which all residents of that State will feel when they learn of my absolutely irrevocable decision, but, while I am sorry, 1 cannot help it.They have brought this direful catastrophe upon themselves, and they have only themselves to blame for it.! hereby warn residents of that State, one and all, that time and money spent in organizing deputations and in obtaining petitions praying me to relent, will be so much time and money wasted.My mind is made up.What I have said, I have said, as Mr.J.Chamberlain once declared in a moment of extreme exaltation, and I reiterate, in order \"that there may be no mistake, that come what may I will never, never, never, live in Ohio.So there! ing of the house-to-house delivery in postal districts |a periodical in the Canadian post-office.T where that delivery system is in force.The deficit much to be said for such an idea.It may be right for is made up to the Post Office by the excess charge above ' the country to contribute towards the \u201cdissemination actual cost which is levied upon private users of the | of information and correct opinion;

and the objections to granting it were far less apparent.The practical reason was the very natural desire of the Government of that day to stand well with that power which they perceived was destined to be a maker and unmaker of Governments\u2014the power of the big newspapers.The sentimental reason, which was put forward to defend the transaction in public, was the need for aiding such an educational and uplifting institution as the newspaper was supposed to be.A wide circulation of the daily and weekly press was believed to be (and at that time doubtless was) highly important for the dissemination of information and culture amongst the community, thinly scattered over a vast area of territory and much in need of the means of instruction and unification.The cost of the bonus at that time was comparatively slight; the newspapers were small and so was their circulation; twelve pages was considered in those days a rather large paper, and a circulation over 20,000 would have been regarded as phenomenal.each issue was insignificant.x OH OX Today how changed is the state of affairs! Scarcely any newspaper in a large city can afford to appear with less than 16 pages, of which the advertising frequently occupies 10 or 12 pages.A single Montreal paper claims an output of 650,000 copies in a week, of which over one-half probably enjoys the benefits of the bonus above referred to.The character both of the newspapers and of their clientele has changed immeasurably.The rural reading public of Canada\u2014the public in whose behalf the bonus was enacted\u2014is now quite rich enough to pay for its own periodicals, and,if it were obliged to pay for them what they are really worth, would probably exercise a great deal more discrimination about them than it does today.The newspapers themselves, once the vehicles for expressing the views of able and forceful editors, are now operated almost exclusively with the object of \u2018getting advertising,\u201d and do not allow themselves the luxury of having any views which might interfere with that object.Many of them are mere masses of publicity matter with just sufficient news scattered through them to ensure that the recipient will not throw them away at the post- office door.Hundreds of thousands of these papers are distributed to rural readers at a price which, even with the country paying the postage, does not recoup the publisher for his actual expense in paper and ink.When a person living outside of Montreal subscribes for a Montreal daily at one dollar per annum, he is paying fifty cents of that dollar to the subscription agent und the rest to the publisher.The production and distribution cost of the article for which he pays fifty cents net is anywhere from two dollars to three dollars and a half; and the difference is made up partly by the advertisers and partly by the Dominion of Canada.In a word, the Dominion is paying a heavy bonus to enable the big newspapers to secure a cireu- lation which they value solely because the advertisers desire it.Practically the nation is

Filter in the waterworks.An envelope containing the money is found on him, that be chose the Acme filter because it was the best offered, and that he understood that the envelope contained a much smaller sum donated to the town hospital.in which he is interested.Arnold Bruce, editor of the Westville Express, bitterly attacks West in bis paper.West's daughter Katherine, returns from Vassar where she has studied law,to Westville, and at once undertakes her father's defence, while she conceives a bitter hatred of Bruce on account of his flay - ng Of h.» father «n too Expirse.She struzg es on hopelessly thioughout the summer making no headway, until two day's before the trial commences, when the Clarion, an opposition paper to the Express, Publishes an editorial demanding that the city abandon iis attempt to run the water works which have been steadily deteriorating all summer and sell out to a private company.This inspires her with an idea that the whole graft charge is a plot to get her father out of the way, and disgust the citizens of Westville with municipal ownership of the waterworks, in order that some corporation may step in and buy the plant at a bargain.Enthused with the new idea ashe rushes out to consult Mr.Blake, the leading lawyer in Westville, on this new aspect of the case.He attempts to explain away her theory as being absurd, but his guilty bearing leads Katherine to accuse him of being the agent of the hidden ration.Suspecting Bruce of being party 10 the scheme sbe proceeds to confront him in the same manner.He senses her ideas, which cast a new light on the case, admits he has entertained a wrong opinion of her father, and agrees to help her.During an interviow bet- and one Brown, an agent of the hidden corporation, light is cast upon the plot re he control of Wostville's Water System.\u2018The Rev.Dr.Sherman, who roves to be in collusion with Blake and who has been West's chief accuser, is forced by agree to give damnatory evidence at the trial.XI ATHERINE\u2019S first thought, on leaving Bruce's office, was to lay her discovery before Dr.Sherman; for she was certain that with her entirely new knowledge, and with her entirely new point of view, they could uickly discover wherein he had been duped-\u2014for she still held him to be an unwitting tool\u2014and thus quickly clear up the whole case.But for reasons already known she failed to find him; and learning that he had gone away with Blake; she well knew that the lawyer would keep him out of her reach until the trial was over.In sharpest disappointment, Katherine returned home.With the trial xo few hours away, with all her new discoveries buzzing chaotically in her head, she felt the need of advising with some one.Bruce\u2019s offer re- eurred to her, and she found

She rose and held her breath while they took their seats.\u201cYou have reached a verdict, gentlemen?\u2019 asked Judge Kellogg.\u201cWe have,\u201d answered the foreman.\u201cWhat is it?\u201d \u201cWe find the defendant guilty.\u201d Dr.Wost let out a little moan, and his head fell forward into his arms.Katherine bent over him and whispered a word of comfort into his ear; then rose and made a motion for a new trial.Judge Kellogg denied the motion, and haltingly asked Dr.West to step forward to the bar.Dr.West did so, and for a space the two old men, who had been friends since childhood, looked at each other.Then, in a husky voice, Judge Kello pronounced sentence\u2014one thousan dollars fine, and six months in the county jail.It was a light sentence, but enough to blacken an honest name for life-enough to break a sensitive heart like Dr.West's.A little later Katherine, holding an arm of her father tightly within her own, walked with him and fat, good- natured Sheriff Nichols over to the old brick county jail.And yet, a little later, erect, eyes straight before her, she came down the jail steps and started homeward.As she was pass ing along the square Harrison Blake came out of his stairway, immediately before her, and started across the sidewalk to his waiting car.Discretion urged her to silence; but passion was the stronger.She stepped squarely up before Blake and flashed him a blazing look.\u201cWell and so you think you've won!\" she cried in 8 low voice.His color changed, but instantly he was master of himself, \u201cWhat, Katherine?You still persist in that absurd idea of yesterday?\u201d \u201cOh, drop that pretense!

She moved nearer, trembling from head to foot, and her pamionate defiance burst all bounds.\u201cYou think you have won, don't you?\" she hotl eried.\u201cWell, let me tell you that this affair is not just à battle that was today won and ended' It's à war - and I have only begun to fight!

(b) To apply for, obtain, register, ! purchase, lease or license on royalty or other- shutting out any but high calls in.i clubs, or at least two in a red suit.I have seen, when the old system of ; counting was in vogue, a \u2018\u2018no trump\u2019 called on a \u2018\u2018carteblanche\u2019\u2019 with two aces, and again a hand containing a uarded king, a guarded queen, and a Calls of this type were fre- eliminated.Of course there are times when the state of the score will war- but, on ordinary these calls were liable to eliminated this short coming, and has now secured a very firm footing in *\u2018bridgeland.\u201d here are two systems of counts in vogue for \u2018\u2018royal auction.\u201d One in which the value of each trick, over 6 with \u2018\u2018spades\u2019 as trumps remains at 2, the other in which \u201c*spades\u2019 values 5 points.Thus when the declarer makes good his declaration by winning | at least as many tricks as were undertaken to he won, by himself and his partner, cach trick above 6 counts\u2014 when spades are trumps, 5 points; when clubs are trumps, 6 points; when diamonds are trumps, 7 points; when hearts are trumps, 8 points; : when royal spades are trumps, 9 points; when there are no trumps, 10 points.Obviously this method of scoring reduces the difference of value between each suit to the smallest possible margin, and at the same time brings down a no trump declaration from its | undue pinnacle.* The rise in each suit is but one ; puint, so that even a bid of 2 tricks in ' spades, the suit of lowest value, over- calls one in no trumps, the ** suit\u201d we may 80 term that call) of highest value.The direct result of bringing all suits into the fighting line, reduces to & minimum the possi of the deal, and the right of first call that goes with it.Further, the \u2018\u2018no trump gamble\u201d call is shorn of most of its gain, and the awe it inspired.When a different value is given to each suit, it is hard to imagine a more rational method of scoring.Judgment in bidding is at once much enhanced, while luck, pure and simple is reduced {to the minimum possible.Of course, there is in \u2018royal auction\u2019 little difference whether \u2018\u2018spades\u2019\u2019 remains at 2, or is played at 5.The same restriction from a loss of more than 100, is maintained, so that if \u2018\u2018spades\u2019\u2019 remains as & suit, it is obviously more rational to treat it as other suits are treated and | for t place its value as near as possible to the suit next above it.\u201cRoyal spades\u201d have naturally pushed the spade suit from its place, and in modern play the suit is only | ot the com retained as a harbour of comparative | such secu safety from unlimited loss on worthles hands.It is clear that no one in their senses would call '*3 or 4 spades\u2019 when the value of the suit is but 5, and at the same time \u201c\u2018royals\u2019 are worth 9, but : \u201cor otherwise;

the trimming of Queen Victoria's wedding dress was made there, as was that for the bridal dresses of the Emress Frederick, Queen Alexander, and Princess Alice of esso-Darmstadt.Yet it is recorded that when a lady in 1869 wanted a bridal veil with the characteristic \u2018\u2018real\u201d ground, it was with the utmost difficulty that enough workers could be found to carry out the order.To-day Miss Audrey Trevelyan in East Devon, has some thirt workers able to execute the finest designs, while there also Lady Hewitt's Lace Industry at Lynton, and Mrs.Montgomerie Nielson's Lace School at Chudleigh.A very similar record might be put forward regarding Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, and Buckinghamshire.Girls left the villages during the \u2018seventies, and the craft was on the verge of extinction.The Midland Lace Assoociation is, however, able to report that it is now employing fully 200 women who make the pillow lace in their spare time at home.LE BE EE The history of the British lace industry is particularly interesting, though, alas! its introduetion is bound up with misfortune and misery.The Buckinghamshire industry mainly owes its origin to the unfortunate Katherine of Aragon, in the sad days following her divorce and banishment from Court.Many of the best designs now used date from this period, and are Spanish in character.J.F.HANNAH Decorator 54 PRUMMOND.Phone Up 3136.Ladies\u2019.Tailor and HabitiMaker A.Brodtubrer & Co.» 01 METCALPR STRESY Uptous SRU5 4 a Ce.SR Cafheuêne Spring Geeds Now Rendy Mer inspection \\ EY THAT Canadian painters are not standing still is amply proven b their works shown at the thirteent spring exhibition of the Art Association of Montreal which opened with a rivate view on Tuesday.The estab- fished artists show maturity in their contributions, and the younger men display, within sane bounds, an inclination to follow the more advanced tendencies as regards technique.It might be said at once that despite the fact that some four hundred works are shown, the hanging of the five rooms has been so well done that the sense of oppression which assails the visitor in most galleries is absent.There are, too, à number of new contributors of romise and the most critical cannot nd fault with the pictures selected for the present show.Here and there there are a few that may not reach the high standard set by the majority, but since encouragement is one of the THE SATURDAY MIRROR, MONTREAL, MARCH 29, 1913.hoped that for the sake of peace the sitter is in sympathy with his aims.x x # Passing from the most extreme we come to à group who see as the average inortal, their divergence from the older men being largely a question of technique.Mr.Adrien Hebert has indicated a g sense of distance and atmosphere in his simple direct presentation of an old stage coach\u2014a long panel which would light up a dim corner of any room\u2014a icture that one could soon get on very iendly terms with.Mr.A.Y.Jackson, who recently showed works in a private exhibition at the Art Gallery is well represented by four works full of fine qualities.It is evident that his course of study and observation abroad has done much to develop this promising artist.\u2018The Fountain\u2019 with its sombre group of pie about it and the soft light on the uidings in the background is as fine as any of his examples, while fo composition \u2018\u2018 Assiai, from the Plain\" is imposing and ably painted.Tone relation s the end for which Mr.Jackson strives as opposed to the usually accepted definition of color as observed by the more advanced schools who sacrifice design, balance and draughtsmanship to streaks and blots of raw paint with scant regard to actual nature.man qualities most required by native AT THE SPRING EXHIBITION.The Spring Exhibition at the Montreal Art Gallery.!

+ In a limited space to notice all the works whieh reach a decent level of executive accomplishment is impossible, however, the good showing made by the younger men deserves notice for they are conscientiously searching for an individual mode of expressin their emotions and all have retaine their individuality.At the same time there is nothing truly extreme in their efforts if we except the four canvases by Mr.John G.Lyman who is unmistakably a follower of the \u2018post-im- ression \u2019\u2019 school.It is an encouraging eature that the judging committee saw fit to hang these works despite the wide difference betewen them and the majority of the pictures hung, for at this stage of artistic development there can be no determining how far such artists may go to bringing honor to the community.Frankly, it might be said that the majority may not sympathize with his contnbutions for viewing some of them, with due respect to the artist's evident sincerity, it is bard to fathom how one can view nature and life through such eyes.There is in the annals of artistic devel- opraent the precedent of neglect and ridicule once meted out to Manet, Monet, Degas, Pissarro, Sisley, Jongkind, Renoir and Bondin the impressionists and the suave art of Corot Millet, Daubigny and Rousseau di not appeal at once, yet to-day the works of the latter group are selling for thousands of guineas, and the former, wild as the uproar was when the pictures were painted, are generally accepted.In all justice to the interpretation Mr.Lyman is following it must not be overlooked that every new movement has its defenders and art entics of higher pretensions than the writer have seen over-lovked lack of form and the elemental rudiments of draughtsmanship.There is, however, this consolation that the painter as he advances usually modifies his impression, and the time may vet come when Mr.Lyman will devote his ta ents to something more approximating the literal than what he presents in at least three of his can vases\u2014 \u2018\u2019 Humoresque (The Cireus),\u201d \u2018A Brunette,\u201d and \u2018\u201cWild Nature, Impromptu.\u201d * Bagatelle (a cottage) is a vigorous sketch of a cottage in high tones, but there is evident sincerity in the effort and the handling is vigorous.\u201c #
