4> VOLUME IV IE OTTAWA FARCE 2g It Treachery -or Traitor?? *\t (By Professor E. Odium, M.A.. BJSc-) tiat words should be used to describe the , strotts series of criminal acta now under way Ottawa! Someone ahould say what hundreds thousands of 'Canadians are thinking. It is fact that the Straits Settlements, have done a lbler, a more patriotic and a more sensible, and. aely act than the big Dominion of Canada. And jx is this' so! It is not the fault of Premier prden tnd his patriotic band of supporters. ermany smiles and looks on with satisfaction, is in the game. Is this a fact) Do I speak truth in this statement? Let us see. Ttr'or many years Germany ami Rome are in iret conspiracy to break the power of Britain. tmtmy has the full unlimited power of Rdme iving tb the utmost to assist in accomplishing tat Germany would never expect to accomplish jlehanded. Germany knows that Rome is ual in power to almost any nation on eartb,jand srefore counts Rome and herself as two closely pacted nations arrayed against England. [how does Canada fit into this pact, this con-������ jiracy? At present she fits in perfectly. S$o "���������, she has not given one cent's worth of aid to |e Empire.- And why? Who are hindering? is clear as the noonday sun. Rome in Canada doing for Ctermany exactly what Germany done, and what Germany c6uld not do by [Y other means. How is Rome doing this work an enemy? She does-it by the aid of traitors Ottawa, by the aid of two sorts of traitors:���������* who know they are traitors, and those who . supporting the leaders in blind ignorance. "Wet Blanket" is in the hand? of Rome, and they hate the Empire, he aids not the Empire, in the shades of opposition he is disgruntled- this two-fold state he would not only hurt itain'but he would hurt Canada which pitched iut on the wave of patriotism. They strive aet purpose to destroy the Empire Jit the fading of the powers *of Rome, and at the bid- ice of hate and disgruntlement f;Jf the members of Parliament at Ottawa were are of the real facts of this criminal^ traitor- . us and damnable act of treachery, they would i the twinkling of an eye walk across the floor |������ the aid of Borden and Canada, and the Em- we. Ofv course a few would not leave "Wet flatoket." They are of the same mind, spirit, |nd Empire-breaking com|������any: ' "Wet Blanket" and his hate-moving crowd be- ong to those who would break the union between ritain and Ireland under the pretence of Home ule. They are the same brand of loyalists as lertzog Of South Africa; This public man in [Africa is doing work there for Germany just as Wet Blanket" is doing in Canada. And they are knowingly doing Germany's work. And what about Macdonald of the Globe? Is he .any better or worse if it be possible to be vorset What is the dominating spirit that makes iim bray like the Kaiser at Britain* and Borden? , Does, he love his brother, Hon. G. E. Foster, or late him worse then he hates Satan? Has he ver ceased screaming and bellowing since the falobe, Macdonald, and the unpatriotic crew were )itched out into nether darkness when the peo- ile found that crew selling their country for less ;han the standard mess of pottage? Does he love ight, or rather gross darkness? Does he prate ieace and delight in war, war with the cut-throat knife? BNo man can carry on a paper, a country, or any >usiness of "peace" in the name of the devil, and creaming with hate and vengeance. There is a menace, an urgent demand for help, ind Macdonald knows this to be a fact. His ������arty at Ottawa know this. They admit it on their knees, and in their souls are ashamed of heir foul-spirited partyism. And yet in a most nysterious manner they are doing Germany's rork as well as if Germany WERE AT THIS MO- IENT ADMINISTERING CANADA.

Publterei in the Interests of Vancouver and the, Western VANCOUVER, BunSH CoUJMWA, MARCH 28, 1913. NOTES PROM OTTAWA By Our Special Correspondent, Arthur R. Ford Ottawa, March 28���������If the present naval debate haa served no other purpose it would have been of service in illustrating aa it has done the strange political opinions and theories that are held by members of the present Liberal opposition, ranging from the old time Liberalism to the most radical secessionist doctrine as expounded in the house this week by Hon. H. R. Emmerson and Dr. Nee ley of Humbolt. In between these comes a large wing of the party which while -not inclined'to the extreme views of the Emmeraon- Neely wing is nevertheless equally out of touch with Canadian sentiment since its doctrine is that Canada should do nothing whatever in the way of naval defence but should remain a "Little Canada," bound up in itself and withdrawn from all currents of world movements of today. Hon. H. R. Emmerson's remarks in the house on Wednesday night were the most violent in character that have been heard in the house for years. He gave his wrath free, vent and railed, at Hon. Winston Churchill as an enemy to Canada and a disintegrator of the empire. Waving a copy of the American' Declaration of Independence in his "hands he said: "I say this letter is the veriest insult to the people of Canada,- yes, more, it is an insult to the people of the overseas dominions at large. I do not wish to indulge in any extravagant statement, but I can say there has been no document emanating froima public man in Great Britain for the last Seventy-five years, calculated to do more injury to empire-building than the very document which was.read to the House last night. Throw aside party feeling, forget for the nonce that you are Conservative or Liberal, and read that document in the light of cold, unim-. passioned reaaon ���������_ and then tell me if you can aay that it is a document that should come from one of the greatest British statesman to a free people. Are we to1 be insulted] by tbe First Lord of the Admiralty, and' it- that insult to be adopted by our very Government.1. That document is calculated to cause more irritation, to undermine more seriously our constitutional freedom than any other document that has ever come from authority it* Great Britain to any colony .since-the, cfays of Lord North. It is just such acts as this that caused the severance of the ties between the thirteen colonies and the Motherland in 1776. Tbis letter, this insulting letter, is calculated to do injury as against even the throne and person of His Majesty the King." He then proceeded to analyse the Declaration of independence drawing all his historiaei parallels from the present situation from the period of the American Revolution. He said that it was time to pause and to take consideration of where Canada stood at the present time. He said it was a question whether th.e constitution which had been Canadian for the last seventy-five years would continue to be bi.r I. **%e7 American colonies, he said, rojfe iii their might because there was an infringement on their rights and going on in the same strain he declared that the same thing was being attempted iitCanada aud^would be as fatal in its consequence in the way of over-turn- . ing the relationship between Great Britain and the Overseas Pominions. And oil this diatribe because; Rt. Hon. Winston. Churchill gave a plain answer to a _ plain question by Premier Borden, as to ship-building in Canada. , ' While many of tiie Liberals have for political exigences to meet the patriotic appeal of Premier , Borden decided ��������� on a policy of two units, judging by their speeches many of the Liberals are in favor of a continuation of the Rainbow and Niobe policy. A return to power of the Liberals would only mean more delay and another tin-pot navy. W. E. Knowles, of Moose Jaw, frankly stated iu the House that he did not favor a navy, that he , was not enthusiastic about the spending of $35,- 000,000, If his party came to power it would only be with reluctance that he would agree to the -spending of $35,000,000, although it has been proven that two fleet units will cost well on to $75,000,000. Hansard quotes Mr. Knowles as follows: , Many Liberals have followed Mr. Knowles' lead. James Douglas,-of strathcona, could see no reason why Canada should hejp Oreat Britain. Canada, In his opinion, owed nothing to the Bmpire. Providing an outlet for her surplus population and a safe Investment for her money was, he considered, paying our debts. But it has not been all Western members who have been making Hhese astonishing and unpatriotic statements. A. K. MacLesa, of Halifax, one of the most' responsible members Of the Liberal party, admitted that the-Opposition proposals meant nothing. If it could be shown, he said, that two fleet units were unnecessary that would modify their policy. Tbos. MacNutt, of Saltcoats, also had some remarks-Ho make which shows how sincere are tbe Liberals in their protestations of loyalty and in their claims ot helping tbe Empire. The amendment, he said, contained the word "Bpeedlly." He did not suppose that thia meant undue haste. The present blockade on tbe naval question at Ottawa which' bas resulted In tbe holding up of all legislation means that It is very doubtful whether tho Bank'Act will be passed this year, tt would not be surprising' if tbls Important measure were held over for another year and a bill was put through the House renewing for a year tbe bank charters which run oat | on July 1. Wttb tbe present spirit which Is being shown by both parties at Ottawa, there Is little chance of a compromise and even If a closure' is introduced, and It will likely come on Monday, there will be an- Qtirt^aor^or *tve-.w������eks fight wltb. day and nlgbt tit- tingB. Then the naval bill will have to be jammed through, so that it will be well on to May before the .Bank Act can be taken up again. By this time there will he a wearied and worn lot of members. Tbey will be anxious to get swatf from the Ottawa turmoil. If they do go ahead with the Bank Act they will be in no condition to give K the thought and the consideration which is necessary. If the bill is proceeded with it is liable to be passed in a half digested condition. Witnesses had been cabled by. the bank committee, hut tbey have all bees notified that no date can be set for tbelr appearance. The blockade aa also held up the West Indies treaty, which should have gone Into effect long ere tbls. It stands for a third reading, and there seems no possible chance of its passing for weeks yet. The holding up of the West Indies treaty is a serious matter. It has been ratified by all tbe West Indian governments affected, and all tbat now is awaited is tbe - approval of the Canadian Parliament Exporters and ���������Importers to the West, Indies have no idea where tbey stand aad are unable to arrange for contracts. Tbe result is likely to be that fresh contract* will be made with the United States and here may be a serious curtailment of West Indian business which gave promise of showing a tremendous growth under tbe new treaty arrangement. The holding up of tbe Weet Indies agreement also affects the budget. The West Indies agreement calls for several tariff changes of a minor character. Until the agreement is* ratified the new tariff changes' cannot be properly adjusted. . At this rate the budget may not he reached until May 1, or at tbe most optimistic reckoning, the middle of April. CANADA NOW AT CRITICAL PERIOD. "I believe that we are in a most critical period of Imperial and Canadian history and the attitude of the people of Canada at this time will have, much to do with tho moulding of the destiny of both the Dominion and the Empire at large in the future." So writes Mr. H. H. Stevens, M.P., from Ottawa to Mr. R. S.Pyke, president of th'e Vancouver Board of Trade. Speaking of the Navy Bih\ he says:��������� Not a Question of Debate. "It is not a question of debate at all, as both sides spoke freely upon Clause 2, which merely provides for the appropriation of $35,000,000 to assist in the naval defences of the Empire, for which clause the Liberals voted twice previously in favor of��������� once, in the resolution, and, again, in the second reading of the bill. The question as to how this is to be spent comes in Clause 3. Consequently there was no excuse for any debate on Clause 2, and, the attitued of the Liberals is one purely of obstruction." A LIBERAL CRITICISM. The "Montreal Witness," with characteristic i fairness "and moderation, says: "Whatever does Mr. Macdonald mean? Had not Mr.' Borden the right to ask for information on naval construction of those who ought to know the most on the subject? ... If he had, Mr. Churchill had also not only the right but the duty, both as a self-respecting gentleman and a member of the Government who holds a responsible position in trust for the nation, to make a careful and courteous reply:" Alluding to Mr. Winston Churchill's reply to Premier Borden's note of inquiry, the "Witness" continues "It is not a political document, but a letter of information written with the best intention, in a style that, in parts shows signs of haste, and a discursiveness that proves it to be meant for a frierHliy exchange." This criticism, has added value coming as it doe^ from a staunch supporter of old time "Liberalism."

The secret of David Livingstone's greatness" may be inferred from the'following words found in his Journal of May 22, 1853: "I will place no value on anything I have or may possess, except in relation to the kingdom bf Christ. If. anything will advance the interests of that kingdom, it shall be given away or kept* only aa by giving or keeping of it I shall most promote the glory of Him to whom* I owe alt my hopes in, time and eternity.. May grace and strength sufficient to enable me to adhere faithfully to this resolution bq imparted to me, so that in truth, not in name onjy, all my interests and those of my children may be identified with His Cause." No man that follows material things, as an ultimate can be truly great. To say tbe least, nioney- making is a vulgar pursuit and ends in disappoint* ment and failure. Livingstone lived for the good he could do and therein lay his greatness. SIS JtlCBAW) ON WW0ATI0N. Premier McBride delivered an eloquent and truly remarkable address on the 22nd inst. at the Charter Day exercises of the University of California in Berkeley, Cal. Our limited space forbids extended quotations or comments. Ponder his words on education and the self-made man. ..''...- . "The success of what we term the self-made man is due almost wholly to the fact that he has had to work out his own problems and thus developed his faculties in a way that no amount of college coaching would have done. Some of those self-made men bemoan the lack of early schooling such as their children are able to enjoy under more opulent circumstances, reasoning that if success has been attained under Such conditions how much greater would have been the measure of that success with the advantage of a university career; whereas the probability is that most of these men would never have achieved success in their lines had they been college trained.',' Speaking of our projected British Columbia University, he said: "Our university has been endowed with two million acres of public lands, and will, we trust, be liberally subsidized from year to year. The buildings are being erected at Point Grey, near the city of Vancouver, and the campus of 284 acres will occupy a beautiful and commanding position overlooking the Gulf of Georgia, which witnessed the historic meeting of the ships of Captain Vancouver and of the Spaniards, a dozen decades ago. We propose to make the institution as good as the best���������in beauty of situation, accommodation, appointments and scholarship." At the conclusion cf his address the degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred on Sir Richard by President Benjamin Ide Wheeler. ��������� - u*$K5G See Owen & Morrison's Announcement Page 5 >. ������i"= ��������� 7 *7&������_ yiLiSt *- ***<3 ���������l >i Ay������l '������m r -, T-Vl-l- ������?''.-' r-ts ��������� b. *' i.TX .y ������r ^H^vliP^^v'^l'^p?^. :������wesIfcaig^ij..i'''"'.^.**������*������������P������-a^������.w.-������xl,M*,*l.r*^^ 7"7������7f -*-?cr'-~ *.

With each day of this modern age old records go by the board and new standards are set up that to the. un- ltiated are indeed remarkable. For years we have heard of the onward sweep of the automobile; we have also thought many of us that with the popularity of the horseless' vehicle the horse must sink,. Into disuse and oblivion. , 7. But pne great fact is borne home to us that the better class of horse is in greater demand than ever, costB more and is receiving more attention from breeders.. This is. proven by the intense Interest taken in Vancouver British Columbia, and the entire North West in the Bixth annual Vancouver Horse Show, which is scheduled for April 21st to 26th at Vancouver. It will in many respects be a world beater, location and environment con sidered. While-the; Olympia show of London Is and has always been the largest in the world, outranking Madison Square Garden Show of New York. It will have 180 classes, of which 71 are for breeding purposes only; it wiH have over 1000 blooded exhibits; award over 700 ribbons, distribute $8,000 ln cash and donate some twenty magnificent- trophies, including the famous one from the Duke o������ Connaught for draught horses, It is the one great social event of the year. Last year for seventy-tfco hours there was a patient waiting line ���������a queue nearly 100 yards long^wait- ing for the box office to open to'sell boxes at $75.00 each; the boxes accommodating six with an extra charge of $2.00 for each extra seat. Such then Is the prestige of the Vancouver Horse Show. For on'e'week His Majesty the Horse reigns in Vancouver. His colors of purple and gold flutter from one end of Hastings to th������ far end of Oranvllle; frdm one end of Main clear away to the palatial homes of Shaughnessy Heights.' > i Six thousand eager devotees of'our equine friend crowd the only building on the Padflc Coast entirely devoted all the. year round to the horse; and the only exclusive horse show building on the Coast. The provincial grant for 1913. was $4,000, but so great is the expense connected with the Horse Show that last year the breeding classes alone coit the Association $7,600, and it is hoped in the laudable work of the Association the province will in 1914 increase the grant. J. M. Gardbouse, of Weston, Ont. will judge the heavy draught horse* and the 71 classes devoted to breeding; while Captain McCann, of Hood Rtver, will judge the light harness class. He has just opened a $150,000 horse breeding farm in Oregon. His Excellency tbe Duke ot Connaught will donate again, this year the Connaught Trophy, and It will be I awarded ln the heavy draught hone Docks For N. Vancouver North Vancouver, March 25.���������North Vancouver will have a public. dock; The following letter from Mr. H. H. Stevens, M.P., was received by the city council this evening. - "It is the Intention of the government to construct a dock-at North Vancouver. I have been urging tbe matter forward as rapidly as possible, but have continually met with difficulties and opposition from entirely unsuspected quarters, which has delayed matters materially. In the next place,, the unprecedented opposition to the government's navy bill has effectively blocked ail progress m matters of this kind. As to the location of the proposed dock, I do. not desire to make any statement in this regard as yet, aB the securing of the proper location has been one of tlrf chief causes of delay as far as I am concerned. I trust, however; thai there will be a satisfactory outcome." "H. H. STEVENS." The above letter was in reply to a complaint from the North Shore that it was overlooked in the Federal estimates. equal to the figure in 1999. .This leaves out of consideration entirely the rapidly growing pulp industry, which hud a.value of about ten millions in 1910.

Chrlstianla, 7 Norway.���������Referring < to previous reports on this -subject, the following extract has appeared in one of the leading papers here: The committee on foods of the Norwegian parliament has received an unusual shipment, viz., a case of fresh fish froren.by the new and very promising freezing method. The case was sent here from Drontheim by the Director of Fisheries. Mr. Hjorth. Par- liament will go7 thoroughly into the matter, before it reports upon the new method, since' there is an appropriation tor trial of the new method during the T-ofoten and Finmarken fisheries this year. The Director of Fisheries had occasion during his, visit at the Fisheries Exposition tn r.enmark last summer Xo get acquainted with the" new method, nnd In his i������ port to the Norwegian Department of Commerce, he refers to, it as being e.Uiuordinarily Important and promising. Tte invention is thai of a fish_ ���������-x^;;i>i at Thlsted, Denmark, by the* iu������me of Mr. Ottesei, and full Information Is now given about the details of the method, which eo far have been kept secret While at first the fish had been frozen by air, the Panish exporter now employ* .< freezing fluid formed by k*t- cheo" salt and water. Such a raiuurr can, as lb well known, be cooled -J nvr many degrees below freexlng point without tree? ng. The flsb, however will, when jplaced in the mixture, -in come fi often through without abwib- Ing any of tbe salt and this method of freezing has many advantages over the mot' ods previously in use. Th* fish retains Its delicious taste and dose not become drier after the freeain? process, which also takes much less The inventor some time ago applied to the Norwegian Director of Fisheries, as be was certain tbat for a country Uke Norway with Its large fisheries and its long distances, the new method would be of special importance. The trials, which the Director of Fisheries has made, have given the host results. Thus, for instance, codfish has been frozen and afterwards allowed to stand for six days wrapped only ln paper In ordinary temperature, without the fish having lost anything in quality. Further, fish frozen by this method has been sent all tbe way from the city of Bergen, Norway, to tbe Norwegian consulate at Vienna, Austria, and it arrived in excellent condition. For shorter transport, it will be sufficient to dip the fish ln the cooling fluid only long enough to permit a thin layer of ice to form on the Inside of the skin. The. fish will not after freezing, weigh more than fish in a fresh state. , Ottawa. ��������� The Austro-Amerlcana Steamship Company ls establishing a regular direct monthly service between Trieste, Patras (Greece), Naples and Canada.

According to the Commercial Review, whereas in 1899 we had im ports of cement of 93,473 barrels- lees than one-fiftieth barrel per capita; and of all classes of steel the consumption was 101,47fi tons, a trifle over, one fiftieth ton per capita; the wood consumption was something over 3,12:",- 000,000 -board -feet, or about 650 fwiper capita.

"I hope so." Paul rejoined fervently. ' Felix looked at him sideways, and suppressed a chuckle. "Why such fervor?" he asked; "are you afraid Judith will have a relapse?" "I don't fear that," he said, watching Felix light his pipe. "If I read Miss Judith aright, I think this shock will steady her self-balancing power, but really I think I shall feel a certain relief when she is safely married. I would so much rather be domiciled where there were no unmarried daughters; there would be less strain on both employer and employed." "Don't Bmpke that rubbish," Felix said, watching- him open his cigarette- case to make another selection; "have ��������� ��������� .jUijjlt* sufficiently circumspect, whether I come up to your standard as an honorable man and a gentleman. This is my first visit to the Manor House, and you must decide, Mr, Fleming, whether I am to repeat it." Felix took the neglected pipe from tbe chimney-piece, looked at It with ��������� halt sntfle, inserted his penknife into the bowl and knocked the tobacco out on the palm of his hand. "The thing won't draw plugged like that," be said, refilling it "Thank you." Paul said, receiving tbe pipe and looking expectantly at ,hls smiling meditative face. : "Look here, Farley," he'said, after a moment's deliberation and passing tbe matches, "my sister Agnes Is not a woman to give herself away unsought, ond as to you, I shall trust you; trust you implicitly.

Carriage after carriage had wound slowly along the drive and deposited their occupants before the ornamented portico. Gay chattering, handsomely- clad women stood in little groups ol twos and threes on the crimson cloth spread over the flight of wide granite steps. A few paces above, just where the firelight caught and mingled with the moon-beams, two gentlemen waited, each holding a flimsy black silk mask between their white-gloved fingers, Now and again they exchanged smiling civilities, and appeared vastly entertained by watching the animation of the women below them, and listen if I to, the curious palpitating babel ol sparkling beneath her gossamer silk mitten. y ."Did yon see Patty Primroeer' she asked, laughing; "that's how she appropriates and treats Mr. Gra>am directly he comes down.

"Shall we waltz this? The next time I dance It will be at your wedding, you know.;' "The room Is warm enough," she said, a catch in her voice; "it's the overpowering scent of all this profusion of flowers that's chilled me. I don't know why, but a heavy suffocating perfume ot rare blooms always brings death to my mind.

"Nterves," he said, soothingly, slipping an arm around1 her waist while- she gathered the folds of ber chiffon skirts Into her band.

"May I see Miss Fleming's programme?" he asked, looking at her while he adjusted it. She took the little piece of pink pasteboard from the bosom of her gown, and he scribbled his initials against ainost eveTy other dance, handing it back with a graceful bow. The Squire's * long intercepting arm came across his sister's shoulder, and the tiny gilt-edged card, pencil, tassels and all, were" swallowed by the broad expanse of a lavender kid palm.

She laughed nervously. . "Living under the eame roof so many weeks." he said remorsefully, "we understand one another. We are too old snd Intimate friends to dream of taking an unpremeditated random shot to ourselves. It's a comfort sometimes to unburden one's mind where one ls sure ot a sympathetic listener. Come, one more turn and then I will give that fellow over there with the monocle a chance." She glanced up at him, and thought be was stouter, comller, more at his ease than when he first made bis appearance at Weyberne Hall. "His smooth-shaven face had filled out, his wonderful eyes had lost the harrassed expression which she noticed spring Into them upon the slightest provocation. He was dark, handsome, clever, interesting, all that her foolish heart desired, yet fate persisted ln pushing Anthony to tbe fore, and the world marvelled she was not more elated, more distracted, and spoilt, witb so much good fortune. She was sick at heart, tears of chagrin stood in her eyes as he led her back, bowed, and left her in the care of the Hargrave party. Paul danced with a wil). He went through a succession of square and round dances with scarcely a break between, until Felix dragged him into the conservatory for a rest, and even-, tually out into the beautiful grounds illuminated by thousands of fairy lamps, where a great, golden moon shone serenely through the branches, of the larches, and the illusive wlll-o'- tbe-wisps glowed and vanished In the distant marshes. The night air was chilly, but lt seemed doubly pure and sweet after the heated atmosphere they had left behind.

"Be careful," Felix whispered, a sud- den aleriopss In his keen grey eyes, "that woman means mischief." "How? What mischief can she do?" "Heaven alone knows," he said, "but when my mare lays back ber ears and snuffs the air In feminine defiance of all unwritten equine laws, I keep my weather eye open. Keep your heed, dear boy. and watch the widow's manoeuvres." '. Paul gripped his wrist ; "Thanks," he said, hurriedly. "I must be politely civil ot course, but I'll take care to keep tbe golden mean." ; Paul offered Mrs. Wycherly hie arm, land led her back to the house. "I thbugbt you had forgotten me," She said witb a balf sob in ber childish voice. : "Oh, dear me, no," he answered. "I should have been back hunting for you within tbe next few minutes." ! On the carpeted steps they met a -stalwart sheepish-looking man in. lemon-yellow livery. He glanced at them out of the corner of bis eye, and passed quickly' on out into the grounds. ! "Why, surely, that's the man Den ham!" he exclaimed, puzzled. "I thought he worked for Mr. Fleming?" "So he does," she laughed, enjoying his surprise in an arched, pretty way. "I wanted a great deal of extra help to-night, and the man said he could manage. If he gives me satisfaction I shall keep blm altogether. He is going to be married to an old servant of mine, and wants to better his condition. We won't dance this, Mr. Farley." she said, in a different tone, dismissing the subject ot Denham wltb fine aplomb, "it's boisterous and fatiguing, and I've danced continuously���������besides, I want to show you my house and some of my pretty things." He acquiesced with a good grace, though he would have much preferred to return to the ball-room, or to have wandered with bis beautiful hostess among the numerous company promenading the cool decorated corridors.
