The Week _\ British Columbia Newspaper an, Published at Victoria, B. Vol. IX. No. 8 Eighth Year THE WEEK, SATURDAY, FEBRUA' |a prompt settlement The Provincial Government deserves he thanks of the citizens of Victoria for aaving made a prompt settlement in the patter of the municipal muddle. It is possible that the settlement will not please werybody, indeed The AVeek Avould have I .referred another method of dealing with ne situation, but there were interests involved which had to be very carefully considered and safeguarded by the action of ;he Government, and when it is remembered that the chief obligation resting up- >n the supreme authority was to relieve he situation as quickly as possible and set he municipal machinery in motion again, O'that the public interests should not suf- 'er, it must be conceded that the solution qund is probably the best that could be ipvised. It invol\'es the minimum of de- ay ; it provides the machinery for carry- rig on the government of the City; it pro- ufes the preparation of neAV lists by an independent authority, and the holding of 11 election as soon as the lists are ready; nd this decision will have been embodied i.a legislative Act Avithin three or four ays of the disqualification of the Mayor nd Council There is one feature of the ise which may not have occurred to Vic- mans, but Avhich must have been present i-tbe minds of the Government; viz., the importance ;of. avoiding, anything which ould create the impression* iii Eastern riancial circles that, a position of any iriousness had been created in connection (ith Victoria's municipal affairs.- All that iinains now is for the Revision Comniis- on to get to work at once, to employ as irge a staff as possible and' to hasten the pie of election. Meanwhile the citizens ould do well to devote the next; few Aveeks a careful consideration of certain facts Ihich have been brought out in connection nth the present situation. The first is liat the very careful and sound judgment m_ Mr. Justice Gveg'ory places; the blame ■t the present regrettable situation on the loiilders of Mayor Morley. In delivering tdgment he emphasized the fact that the ition of the Mayor as Chairman of the evision Committee in allowing names to main on the list against the advice of the ity Solicitor was not an "irregularity" ivt a'deliberate illegality Avhich disentitled in to relief.. It.has,been argued in the ayor's defence tliat he Avas simply folding a .twenty years' precedent. But rely this argument has no force, for tAvo asons. Since the question had been raised was bound to be dealt with, and the tion of the Mayor, in snatching an elec- m on an illegal list could only give him temporary advantage; and did not make e difficulty any easier but rather more fficult of solution litter on, because more triplicated. The Week Avould point out at the legal aspect of the situation has iver been placed fully and fairly before e public. If, when the City Solicitor lied the.attention of the Court to the egality of the lists, recourse had been id to the courts and arrangements made r the preparation of a neAV list upon a oper basis, the then Mayor and Council mid have remained in office until an _ction could have been held, however lng the delay might be. This would not Ive involved any hardship, or in any Avay ded to the difficulties of municipal man- ;ement, and would have avoided the com- ications Avhich have resulted from an egal election. There is another point at hich the City failed to secure very ini- if'tant legal advice, if indeed it was not isled. After the decision of Mr. Justice regory thc Aldermen Avere advised by the ity Solicitor that if they continued to act ey would be liable to a penalty of $50.00 r each sitting, if it were subsequently und that their election was illegal. If the City Solocitor did not know he should have knoAvn before tendering any such advice that the Municipal Elections Act provides for just such a contingency and exonerates the members of the Council from any responsibility or penalty. The Week had something to say in the last issue about the action of the Mayor and City Solicitor before the Private Bills Committee. Their joint action in connection with the proceedings of the present week raises a serious doubt as to whether the latter is not rapidly becoming the tool of the former, or at any rate whether he is not losing his independence to such a degree as seriously to impair the value of his recommendations. It cannot be forgotten that it Avas the City Solicitor who advised the Council that the only thing to do at a certain stage of the negotiations on the Oak Bay AVater Question was to arbitrarily cut off the water supply. The result Avas that in one short week the City Solicitor and the Mayor received a serious rebuff, the former from the Private Bills Committee and the latter from the Courts. The AVeek has hitherto supported the City Solicitor in the belief that he was a young man of ability and energy Avho could render valuable service to the City, but his best friend's would make no mistake in telling him that in such a responsible position he must .either be "a man or a mouse," and the choice rests with himself. Meanwhile, The AVeek thinks it only right that, the ratepayers should knoAV that the protests lodged against the election of the Alder* men Avere'80 lodged at the instigation of Mayor'Morley, a circuinstance which*will no doubt tend to promote harmony at the future meetings'of the City Council. There seems to be no paricular reason why the Colonist should have suppressed this item of neAvs, 'but it did so. HALL & WALKER Agenta WELLIN6T0N COLLIERY COMPANY'S COAL 1232 Government St. Telephone 83 AR One Dollar Per Annum RECIPROCITY The battle for Reciprocity is still being carried on vigorously at Ottawa and in the public1 press, of the Dominion. It is hardly' less conspicuous in the editorial columns of the English and American papers. Broadly speaking the division of opinion is on party lines, although in Canada there is a much larger section of the Liberal Press opposed to Reciprocity than of the Conservative Press in its favour. Unless The Week is mistaken the trend of the discussion is following the lead set by Mr. Chamberlain in his brief manifesto in Avhich he indicated that it was a matter of Imperial interest, involving a much Avider principle than that of Tariff Reform. Amongst the most important contributions to tlie debate have been the articles by Professor Stephen Leacock to the Toronto Star. The most important of these is reprinted in the "Financial Supplement" of the current issue of The Week. Professor Leacock is stating the case against Reciprocity in tabloid form, and his utterances will be found at least suggestive and pregnant. The attitude of the Alctoria Colonist on this subject is creating much amusement, for Avhile it almost daily declares its antagonism to Reciprocity, it, is filling its editorial and neAvs columns Avith all the arguments it can scrape together in favour of the proposed Agreement. No doubt a discriminating public will assess this dual position at its true value. EDUCATE THE PRESS Many complaints have been made about the misrepresentation of Canadian affairs in the English and American Press, but the action of the Eastern Canadian Press in this regard seems to have been over-looked. The last issue of Toronto Saturday Night contains a front page article dealing with "Reciprocity in Fruits," Avhich is easily more unfair to British Columbia than anything Avhich has appeared in the most hostile American paper. The article is by a'regular contributor to the paper, "Economist," and there is therefore no excuse for inaccuracy. Any of the British Columbia members at Ottawa, and especially Mr. Burrell could have corrected the article and prevented Saturday Night, Avhich is usually Avell informed and reliable, from indulging in a gross misrepresentation of the facts concerning one of the most important industries of British Columbia. The article, which occupies more than half the front page, is too lengthy to quote "in ■ extenso," but attention may be called to the folloAving mis-statements as showing how ill-equipped the writer is to deal Avith his subject. "Canadian apples are among the best grown in America,, and may. in fact be the very best. This applies to the Eastern fruit especially.' British,Columbia apples are not considered here to have as fine a flavour as the Eastern apple, al-. though it is a A'ery handsome fruit." And yet British Columbia apples beat: the Eastern Canadian apples in London on all points, including flaA'our, for which they Avere specially tested. "It is worthy of remark that for some time past it has been considered here in the East that the fruit lands of British Columbia were selling at an absurdly high price, and that they Avere bound to come doAvn to their proper level one of these days, .thus fulfilling, the customary cycle of 'boom and collapse'." Does tlle Avriter.of this, article,knoAV that fruit lands in AVashington State are, generally- speaking, double the price of fruit lands in British Columbia and yet tbat the value; of their product at similar stages of cul- tiA'ation is no greater?. "GroAving the tenderer fruits in Canada Avould seem to be at best, a • precarious occupation. Nature apparently; did not Avant peaches grown in Canada." , It is quite clear that "Economist" has never heard of Okanagan peaches, which are the finest grown in Canada; indeed on the map accompanying his article he credits British Columbia with producing apples only. These are only a feAV of the more obvious mistakes.. The A\7eek hopes that the Avhole article will be dealt with by the Deputy Minister of Agriculture as it is, no doubt unintentionally, calculated to coiwey a very erroneous impression of the British Columbia fruit industry. cious character. It Avould haA'e been more in place on the pages of some ultra-yellow American journal than in a usually respectable Canadian newspaper. Of course the Democratic editor of the Toronto AVeekly Star may lay the flattering unction to his soul that there is no "dexter" side to the shield of Democracy, and it is only the members of the aristocracv who can be guilty of a "faux pas." FORTY; TO LUNCH . For once The AVeek is in entire agreement with the Arietoria Times which very properly "slated" Mr. Ellis Barker (an English gentleman Avith a German accent) for "butting in" on a Canadian political issue under the guise of "addressing" the local Canadian Club. However correct Mr. Barker's views may be, he has no sense of "the eternal fitness of things" .or of minding his oavii business, and at any rate of AVaiting for a more convenient season. The estimate in which his contribution to the Reciprocity debate was held by the members of the Canadian Club was well reflected in the attendancje,' which Avas twenty below the average of last year and may fairly be said to establish a loAV-level record. If any further evidence of Mr. Barker's unfitness for the honourable position afforded him Avere required it will be found in his extraordinary letter Avhich appeared in AVednesday's Times. In it he says: "Canada's problems are the Empire's problems, are MY; problems." Possibly Mr. Barker is not aAvare that one of Victoria's greatest problems at the present time is to find suitable men to address the Canadian Club. To the solution of this problem he has not made any serious contribution'. ■""' A WANING STAR The AVeek has time and again put in a good word for the Toronto AVeekly Star mainly on the ground of its literary q'ual- . ity, but if it continues upon the lines laid down in the issue of February lltb, it will hardly commend itself to fair-minded people Avho do not believe that the hereditary principle of the House of Lords is open to attack because of the frailties of some of the ancestors of the noble peers. On page 12 of the issue referred to is an article wi th the somewhat startling heading "ROOTS AND BRANCHES OF BRITISH PEERAGE FOUNDED IN THIEVERY, GRAFT AND SHAME." It is not necessary to quote from the article, but it is regrettable that any political exigency should appear to demand, it cannot justify, such methods of conducting a controversy. The article is accompanied by, the portraits of three peers ivho are to-day, active in the public service, the Dukes of Richmond, Devonshire and Marlborough, and whatever the vagaries of their ancestors may have been, it cannot be denied that all these men "haA'e done some service to the State." The fact that the article is by a wellk-nown British Parliamentarian does not detract from its vi- DODGE In the Sunday Supplement of the Colonist a most extraordinary article was published as a book notice. It purported to recommend a recent publication of B. AV. Dodge & Co. of New York entitled "The Memoirs of Prince John de Guelph of Great Britain and Ireland" and went on to say "Prince John is the cklest son of His Majesty King Edward VII by the first Princess Consort." Possibly the paragraph Avas inserted Avithout being read; indeed, such must be the case, because no sane person would allow such a scurrilous, article to appear in a Canadian paper.' If it. is not misquoted it is obviously a sensational advance notice of a, slanderous publication of the kind Avhich finds favour among the lowest type of Americans, and fhe liasis of which is to found in the backstairs gossip of the servants. Everyone expected that Tuesday's issue of the Colonist would contain a withdrawal and an apology. Nothing of the kind. It contained instead a frank avowal of editorial ignorance, with the explanation that "the notice was one received from the publishers and Avas printed because it certainly seemed of interest, although the book must be of a highly improbable nature." Just why such a scurrilous paragraph should be "of interest" is not quite clear, but the most extraordinary sentence follows. "Wo shall procure a copy of the book and shall then be able to speak of its contents." Obviously—but Avhat must be the state of that editorial mind which requires to read the book before knowing that there is no such person as a "Princess Consort," and that, tlie immoral suggestion of the article is as baseless, and as base, as that Avhich landed Edward Mylius in the police cells.

THE WEEK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1911 How do you like my new headdress? If you have sufficient imagination observe me like the Mariner of old button-holing some unfortunate person on the corner and endeavouring to obtain some item of sufficiently spicy flavour to tickle your jaded palates. You can almost see the policeman round the said corner approaching with the curt "move on" hovering on his lips and it will be no good my urging in self-defence that I am engaged in my business of "lounging," for to the grim guardian of the law there is no distinction between this perfectly respectable occupation and that of the professional loafer. But I am always being misunderstood; it is one of the trials and tribulations which have best me all my life. I mean well, I have a kind face and I do my best (all which virtues are the hall-mark of incompetency), but I have a personal sympathy with the little hero of that pathetic book "Misunderstood." * * * However, I was talking about policemen, and that reminds me that my remarks last week with regard to the Oak Bay constable and his method of dealing with the small gunmen did not and do not apply to Mr. E. F. Dawson of that ilk, who has served in that capacity for two years and a half and possesses the well-earned regard of his fellow-citizens, but to a new constable lately appointed who had not had time to get accustomed to the dignities of his office. Though I mentioned no names last week Mr. Dawson has so long been known as ' "The Oak Bay Constable" that many people might have imagined that he was the object of my criticism. In common justice I state that he was not. * * * Some time ago I passed a few caustic remarks anent the condition of Ontario Street at its junction with St. Lawrence. These remarks were engendered both by the state of the road and the darkness of the surroundings. That some attention due either to me or to a sense of humanity has been vouchsafed the matter '..is evidenced by the fact that there is now a red light placed in this region. True, it doesn't help the wayfarer to • See his way and it doesn't do away -with the ravines and the mud, but it at least prepares him for the perils ,that await the unwary. I think it Would be a good idea- if a scheme were put into effect whereby, when the garbage cans are distributed, ; every householder living in the Tartarean obscurity of the Bay and other similarly neglected districts should receive as a special bonus a lantern for private use. * * * But what is the good of my making valuable suggestions of this nature when at the time of writing we have no Mayor, and the Aldermen are not quite sure whether they are officially alive or dead? Unless something is done very soon I also shall be out of a job, for I shall be in a worse position than St. Paul who "kicked against the pricks" whereas I shall be tilting at a shadow. I may be compelled to slough my pessimism and gaze at the world through rose- tinted spectacles, a change of habit very repugnant to my nervous system and probably fatal to my eyesight. But I am not at a standstill yet, for I have got yet one "kick" left and it does not concern the ex- Mayor or the near-Aldermen at all, except as private citizens. * * * I refer to the disgusting habit which seems to be growing stronger every day of arriving late at the theatre. This practice is almost invari- iably confined to the very people who have least excuse for such an abominable breach of manners. The most persistent offenders are to be found amongst the holders of the expensive tickets, whose early training, if they ever had any, should have taught them something of the rights of others, and who cannot plead "rush of business" as an excuse for their unpunctuality. It is true that the custom is an imported one, and I am sorry to say that it has been imported from the Old Country, where at one time it was considered the stamp of good-breeding by a certain type of "snob" to show their superiority over the masses by arriving in the middle of an Act, thus becoming the cynosure of all eyes and gaining a little cheap notoriety at the cost of other people's convenience. Theatre managers, however, have now combined to put a stop to this practice and for the most part refuse admission whilst an Act is in progress. There is no reason why this sensible method of dealing with a nuisance should not be employed in Victoria and there are many people who would be infinitely obliged to Mr. Denham if he took steps to put it into force. If theatre-goers cannot manage to leave their dining-rooms in time to arrive at the theatre by 8:30 they must be eating a great deal more than is good for them. It is impossible to start the plays later. As it is ,011 many occasions it is a "rush" to catch the boat. Moreover, there is not the slightest necessity for so doing and there would be many objections raised by the great majority of theatrical patrons who have to keep early hours. I am afraid that for the most part the blame must be laid at the door of the ladies. That there are women with some idea of punctuality I do not doubt, but they are "rarae aves", and for every man who can't find his collar-stud there are ten women who forget their handkerchief at the last moment. * * * Nor do these disturbers come in quietly, with the blush of shame mantling to their brow. They seem proud of the fact that they are a nuisance and chatter gaily away until they too have time to take in what is happening on the stage. "What matter if we are late?" think they; "we have paid for our seats and if other people like to be so foolish as to take the outside seats, let'em suffer for it." So they casually stroll in whilst finishing lhe conversation begun outside and distract the seat- holders whom they have to squeeze by, to say nothing of all who are sitting behind. And these are the people who take offence if at times the "gods" get a little bit "fresh." What a world we live ini But punctuality is on the decline everywhere. How often have you made an appointment ancl kept it punctually, or if you have, how many times has the other fellow been on time? Personally I have yet to find the punctual person. Like Diogenes on the hunt for Truth I have searched the world over for the punctual person, and have only found him in my own looking-glass. Ancl mark you not one of thc most persistent offenders will ever admit the fault, whilst their stock of excuses is inexhaustible. Nowadays there are .so many inanimate things on whicli Uie blame may be laid. The car was crowded; unexpected business turned up; the telephone wires were clown; the time-table was altered. Oh, there are hundreds of excuses ready to hand, but never the truth which usually would point to either laziness or forgetfulness. I once read in a book that the only punctual people in the world were the original Red Indians, who were never late and never early but always just on time. I notice also that creditors and promissory notes have a knack of turning up ^-*%^> RUBBER CEMENT is one of the most useful things of the age.

He stood just about knee-high to a grasshopper, but what he lacked in stature he made up for in vocal capacity. Of course the selling cry that night had reference to the result of the Election case, and here was Master Newsboy shouting out at the top of his voice:—"Times, sir; Evenin' Times; all about the c'llection." It immediately brought to my mind the story of the unfortunate little street Arab who, when asked if he said his prayers every night replied in the affirmative. On being questioned further as to what particular form of prayer he used he was nonplussed for a moment, but then suddenly remembered that amongst other things he prayed that he might not be led into Thames Station. I am not sure whether it was the same boy or his brother who came back from a visit to the sea-side wofully disappointed because he had not seen the "tin- namies." He said that the parson every Sunday talked about "the sea and all the tinnamies" and that he had so looked forward to seeing what they looked like. * * * I do not know whether my readers are aware that the hat-pin nuisance has attained such proportions in Austria that special police regulations have been found necessary to cope with it. By-laws have been passed by the City Councils of Vienna and Buda-Pesth making it an offence to wear a protruding hat-pin. Under these regulations the prosecutions became so numerous and costly that the police were instructed wherever they saw a hat-pin with an unprotected end to summarily seize it. Officers responded eagerly and 1200 trophies were "bagged" in the first week. I commend this common sense regulation to the police authorities of Victoria, feeling sure that our enlightened Solons would not be behind the Austrian in any matter affecting public safety. Feeling somewhat energetic the other evening I took a stroll up Fort Street and turned into the Roller Skating Rink tliere. It is ages since I was last in this popular hall and I was surprised to see how many improvements had been effected, but most of all at finding the Ffth Regiment Band in attendance. On making enquiries I learnt that Mr. L. C. Powell had made arrangements whereby this band will play regularly every Wednesday evening from 8 p. m. to 10:30. This is an innovation which will be doubtless much appreciated by the many who (Continued on Page 13.) What is Steep i ? Ask the Sleeper Which sleeper? A sleeper is one who sleeps. A sleeper is that in which the sleeper sleeps. A sleeper is that on which the sleeper which carries the sleeper while he sleeps runs. Therefore while the sleeper sleeps in the sleeper the sleeper carries the sleeper over the sleeper under the sleeper until the sleeper which carries the sleeper jumps off the sleeper and wakes the sleeper in the sleeper by striking the sleeper under the sleeper and there is no sleeper in the sleeper on the sleeper.

It impossible to state wherein the .imour of the play lies, and I my- :lf found it almost impossible to injure up a smile; but then I went :yed to the highest note of expect- lcy and was much in the same pre- cament as the man who wants to leeze but cannot. However, the ma- irity.of the. audience seemed to see ie comic side and there was a con- ant ripple of merriment through- it the house, but at no time did it ;come boisterous nor was the ap- ause vociferous. Mr. P. S. Barrett ;d the exceedingly difficult part of 'e burglar to play, in which, with- it opening his mouth, except once jht at the end of the piece, he mailed to hold the attention of the spectators and to provoke a good the climax in "The Man from Mississippi" is original and that in this particular instance the acting was first class. Robert A. Fischer made a typical Southerner; as Senator Langdon, bluff, chivalrous and honourable he won the hearts of the audience from his first appearance and held them till the drop of the curtain. John A. Butler, the smart New York newspaper man yclept "Bud" Haines was a goocl combination of wit and sagacity, whilst Horatio Peabody, grafter and "king" of the senate, was splendidly portrayed by Thomas Irwin. The feminine casts were all in capable hands and it is hard to make any distinction amongst Miss Ruby Hoffman, the unabashed husband- hunting widow, Miss Leah Baird, the self-deceiving elder 'daughter, and Miss Lillian Rhodes who was the real dea ex machina. It is a pity that the house was not as well filled for this production as it Was for the infinitely inferior one which preceded it by one night.

Even those who do it care about American political ays, which, it is true, run on very ich the same lines, must admit that The Arion Club Concert On Wednesday night the Arion Club gave a choral concert supplemented by contributions from Mrs. R. H. Pooley, our popular Victoria mezzo, and Mr. H, D. Harlin, who is advertised as a basso from Seattle, but who is really a profundo. It is a pity that a concert perfect in every other respect should have been marred, as unfortunately Victoria concerts have been marred before, by an imported mediocrity. Mr. Harlin has naturally a fairly good voice, but his methods are so vicious that it is painful to listen to him, and any church choir in the city could have produced a basso who would have been infinitely more acceptable. Otherwise, it would be difficult to criticise a single item on the programme. The choir was in excellent voice and had evidently been well rehearsed. Encores were numerous ancl The Cossack War Song has never been heard to better advantage in Victoria. Tt is hardly necessary to say that Mrs. R. H. Pooley achieved another of her inevitable successes. I have several times remarked that Mrs. Pooley's voice is improving in tone and steadiness; her ennunciation has always been one of her most marked features. I have heard most of the leading amateur singers in Canada and cannot recall one who affords me greater pleasure than Mrs. Pooley. Possibly her most popular selection on Thursday night was a Hindu love-song, by H. Bemberg, but I was most enraptured by her rendering of Lisa Lehmann's "Thoughts Have Wings." The accompanying of Miss Miles and the conducting of Mr. E. P. Howard Russell were both admirable and beyond criticism. I do not remember a more successful Arion Club concert and was particularly gratified to note a full house.

The Amenities of Civilization I wonder if the fact that I have been thinking a good deal lately about the "good old times" is a sign that I am growing old. I find on picking up the newspapers and magazines of fifty years ago that the writers were constantly deploring the degeneracy of the age, and painting an Elysium which they would fondly have the world believe surpassed in all that makes life worth living the conditions of the times in which they wrote. I suppose it is natural to dwell with satisfaction on those incidents of the past which have left a pleasant recollection, and when they are tinged with the rosy hues of youth and springtime it is difficult to persuade oneself that they can be surpassed. Of course nothing can supersede the glorious heritage of youth, and youth can have no successor which is not its inferior, but this rather affects thc medium through which we view life than the experiences of life. I know it is impossible to persuade oneself that the absence of the electric light, the telephone, the telegraph, the railway train and the steamboat would not spell disaster. Indeed we should not know how to readjust the programme of our lives if any of these adjuncts of civilization were eliminated. But while they may have become necessary to the scheme of activity which dominates thc Twentieth Century and while they havc enormously improved the possibilities of intercourse and social enjoyment as well as more material interests, it is permitted to one to doubt whether the net result is a gain. Civilization is sooner or later going to become weary, not of welldoing but of doing too much. There will bc a reaction and already there arc some signs that it may come sooner rather than later. The reaction will not sweep away any of these important inventions which have become dove-tailed into the fabric of civilization, but there are minor evils which may truly be said to afflict us, which seem almost inseparable from the customs of the age and which could well be spared, to say the least of it. Just how tantalising some of these can become is shown by the necessity for treating of them in almost every issue of Thc Week. For instance, life is rapidly being made unendurable by thc hat-pin whicii is living up to its popular title of a "stick-pin." Thousands of people have been maimed, many have been blinded and one old gentleman in Boston has been killed by one of these instruments of torture. European countries have had to pass special ordinances and to (make special .police regulations to suppress thc nuisance, and when fines have- failed they have resorted to raiding the hats of the wearers. This stick-pin is no joke; it is universally used, and soon unless drastic measures arc adopted it will bc possible to parody Longfellow's immortal couplet as a consequence of its deadly influence:— "There is no fireside, howso'er defended, But has one empty chair;" Another sign of the times is the universal indulgence extended to the vagaries of boys, who are lauded by weak parents because of their precocity. It seems as if everybody is in league to encourage the boy of the times to come as near to being a "hoodlum" as is possible, and then everybody joins forces to prevent him from reaping the natural consequence of his misconduct. Every sane man loves boys, but this age is producing something different from any age that has preceded it, just a little bit "cuter." just a little bit more irresponsible, and more than just a little bit more insolent and impertinent. I know of no better illustration of the incapacity of all constituted forms of authority than their inability to control the boy of to-day. But the fact has to be admitted and it creates more than a little speculation as to what the civilization of the future will be like. The third peculiarity of TAventieth Century cizilization to which I will refer is the decay of good manners. This is evident in many ways, but in none more conspicuously than in the conduct of public audiences. I notice that The Lounger finds his soul vexed by this condition of affairs, and draws attention to the inconvenience occasioned by thoughtless late-comers who persist in disturbing those avIio intent on enjoying! themselves without ./inconveniencing ■ other people come early. | Victoria is not singular in this re-1 spect. Matters were just as bad in j England twenty years ago, and it! was found impossible by persuasion ; to suppress the nuisance. Consequent- j ly the more courageous and enter-' prising managers, like George Alex-' ander and Charles Wyndham commenced the system that now prevails ! of closing the doors on the rise of the curtain and admitting no one dur- j ing the progress of an Act. i I Victoria would be following an ex-' cellent example if it adopted a similar rule. There would be a little heartburning at first, and the habitual late-comers would feel sore, but the theatre would gain in popularity and not a few people would receive a' badly needed lesson in punctuality. I wonder how many of my readers will take any notice of the above complaint, or think it worth their while ] to show a little of that consideration for others which is the very savour of life, and whicii in small matters at any rate is much less in evidence than it was fifty years ago.

In no case will it be divulged without consent. Victoria, Feb. 21, 1911 Dear sir,—At a recent meeting of the B. C. Dairymen's Association the Directors decided to divide the Farm Dairy Competition which has already been in progress for one year, into two classes, in order that a number of our smaller dairymen in the Province may have a chance for competing for the Cup, Medals and honors and not be compelled to compete against the larger dairies of the Province thus giving the small man an equal chance with the large one. Tn this matter the Directors are making arrangements for a Cup,—the name of which will be published later, but one whicii will bc of equal importance to that of the larger trophy given by thc Provincial Government. They are also giving three Medals corresponding with those of the larger dairies. The division of the Competition into two lots is as follows:—Those having fivc to fifteen cows milking and the large dairies those having over fifteen cows, milking. This division should induce a larger number of our dairymen in the Province to compete in this Competition. All the expense that it requires is that they bc a member of thc B. C. Dairymen's association and hold themselves open for two inspections per year, by such judges as may be appointed by the Association. For fuller particulars and entrance forms, apply to the Secretary of the To the Editor of The Week: Sir,— I wish to register a protest against the letter of Dr. Loenholm, L.L.D. in Thursday's Colonist. Dr. Loenholm may be a learned man; he may have travelled far and studied human nature, especially juvenile, in many countries, presumably also he is a scholar as well as a gentleman. I therefore think it is in execrable taste for him to descend to the level of Artemus Ward and write "sarkastik" when dealing with the really important and serious subject of "Our Boys." It would have been becoming on the part of a somewhat- elderly gentleman to have uttered.a!mild reproof, or delivered a homily, somewhat after the style of our respected but timorous police magistrate. But no one should know better than Dr. Loenholm that sarcasm is a dangerous weapon and after all but a poor substitute for the other kind of flagellation which would have been singularly appropriate in the case to which he referred. I also wish to register a protest against the Doctor's admitted impulse to rush for a gun and take a hand in the game; one shudders to think what might happen if his gun had been as handy as that of the Oak Bay policeman. Elderly gentlemen, who have lived in the Orient invariably get peppery, and while it is quite clear from Dr. Loenholm's narrative that he has himself well under control, I Avould rather have been on the other side of the fence if he had succeeded in his quest. Whilst writing I should like also to ask the Doctor if he does not think it would have been in better taste if a new-coiner like himself had waited a little longer and made a more prolonged study of the "genus boy" as he exists in Victoria, before indulging in what is after all severe condemnation. The Doctor forgets that the boy has been the despair of the American continent. Parents, school masters, ministers and magistrates have been at their Avits' end to devise any practical means of controlling the young hopeful of the New World. Our magistrates especially are helpless in the matter, but this is all because they realize that if he is ever to become a man he must not be interfered with, but must be allowed to develop his own "individuality." For this reason if he playfully insults his teachers the parents and the school trustees take care that the punishment never goes beyond an admonition. If he organizes a raid 011 his neighbor's dwelling, pilfers his goods and secretes them in his father's cellar, the episode is looked on as a harmless exhibition of exuberant spirits. If he takes a hand, of course playfully, in the "hold-up" game there is the same kindly disinclination to regard his conduct seriously. It is all in the way of training, and necessary to enable him to broaden out into a self-reliant, virile citizen. Dr. Loenholm should think of these things and if he were not extremely selfish, not to say egotistic, he would consider that expertness in the use of fire-arms, with the defence of one's country the ultimate goal, is an accomplishment cheaply purchased by the sacrifice of one or even tAvo elderly professors, of whom there are far too many in the world already. ' For Dr. Loenholm's encouragement I beg to retail an incident which occurred many years ago, the moral of which seems to me to bc singularly appropriate in the present instance. A miner who worked for my father had a brindled "bull-pup"; he was also the proud possessor of a boy of ten years of age.

Chambers, Douglas St., Victoria. according to tradition the British miner loves his "bull-pup" more than his children,—please regard this as an aside. "Bull-pups" like boys, have to be trained, the development of their lighting propensities being the desideratum. One day the miner had the boy and the "bull-pup" on the floor, the former crouching and assuming as nearly as he could the attitude of a bigger "bull-pup" the latter facing his enemy. The miner sat near by, pipe in mouth, "sicking on" the dog, and the boy would ward off his attack and give him an occasional clout to encourage him to come on again. Finally under the stimulus of a harder blow than usual the pup made a leap and seized the boy by the nose, holding on with the proverbial tenacity of his breed. Blood flowed, the boy yelled and punched thc dog for all he was worth. Whereupon the miner angrily intervened with "Hold on, hold on, cltinno hurt him; it will be the making of thc pup." Dr. Loenholm might lay this story to heart and gracefully submit to the playful vagaries of thc Victoria boy 011 the principle that if he loses his nose it may be the making of the boy. FOND PARENT.

Whilst this Avas Irue, it is a fact that negotiations have been conducted between [eral of the smaller institutions with a view to amalgamation, 1911 STARTING WELL Ijanuary is noteAvorthy in mercantile circles for the activity lilayed in stock-taking and in casting up accounts for the pre- ling year. Combined with this is the tendency to clear out plus stocks at bargain rates, particularly in dry goods and allied |s. Coming so soon after the activity of the Christmas season, light be expected that these sales would fail to attract patron- , but there is no reason to doubt about their success in 1911. I. enterprising merchants who slaughtered a few leading lines le overwhelmed with business, whilst their alleged competitors le complaining about the dullness of trade. IPlans for the coming season are engaging close attention. There general impression that the next few months will see a vast Jrovement in trade conditions, at least as far as comparison with year is concerned. The proceeds of the productive activities J1910 have practically all been absorbed into the commercial [•ents, and the people of the West will maintain themselves until fall on the revenues thus obtained. Any inconveniences Ich may have been associated with the decline in output have [1 overcome; the way is clear for the continuation of the advance. OPTIMISM IS JUSTIFIED Irhe signs on the horizon justify the optimism tha> is pre- Int in business circles. Immigration, construction and produc- are the three elements in the economic sphere which stimulate [le and the outlook in each was never brighter. The success Ich has attended the efforts of settlers during the past ten years lie force which will move thousands to go to the West, and they go there from all parts of the English-speaking world. Eastern [ada, England, Scotland, the Western States and even Ireland contribute thousands to the new population of the Prairie Ivinces of 1911, and with these thousands will come large Imnts of capital to be used in developing the resources of the II. Jt has been estimated in other years that each immigrant In the Western States brought with him into Canada an average limit of $1,000 which has been added to the capital of the lile. There is reason to believe that this estimate is too low ■he arrivals during these last two years may be used as the Is of circulation. Many of these have brought $25,000 or even looo each and cases in which $5,000 and $10,000 have been lorted are numerous. A man does not bring his whole family equipment from the United States to Canada unless he has ie than $1,000 with which to make the experiment. BIG CONSTRUCTION PROGRAMME Irhe construction programme in itself goes a long way to |iurage the West. Included under the heading are not only addition and the improvements to the railway line, but |iberless items whicli have a more or less indirect relation to up-building of the country.

THE WEEK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1911 municipalities are establishing power plants or street railway systems ; private corporations are building and expanding in a variety ■of ways; even the farmers are improving the value of their holdings by bringing more land under cultivation and erecting houses or barns or granaries. The necessity for improving the facilities under which business !is transacted is recognised in a variety of ways, and it is this precognition that furnishes the basis for constructive activity. It is .not forgotten, of course, that the country is discounting the future 'by building in excess of current requirements. Experience has shown that to be the proper line to adopt. As long as the revenue for the season is sufficient to cover the average cost and to leave a little to spare—the West will not hesitate to develop with the assistance of borrowed capital. PRODUCTION AND WELATH The extent to which production will contribute, to the wealth of the people is still a matter of great Uncertainty for the reason that the opening of the season is still several weeks away. Grain-growing ancl'cattle raising will continue to' furnish nearly all the revenue for'this year at least. These branches of industry depend for their maintenance to a large degree on conditions beyond the control of tbe producers and the difficulty of estimating how they will "pan out" is apparent. As far as indications down to the present time are concerned, the outlook is satisfactory enough, Farmers are looking forward to making increajMs in the area devoted to the various grains, whilst cattle-men" are using the abundant returns secured during the past year' -4*6 extend their operations. *. , ■ MINING It is understood that the holders of certain shares in: the1 American Canadian Oil Company, whose title to such shares has been questioned by the officials of the company, will immediately take legal steps to insure recognition of the validity of their stock. It is reported that-the stock in* question amounts -to roughly one hundred and seventv thousand shares. WHAT RECIPROCITY MEANS By Professor Stephen Leacock What does Reciprocity mean? It means free trade in Natural Products,- What are Natural Products? Practically this is only another name for the Natural Resources of a country. And this means the Birthright of a People, the original heritage upon which their civilization is built. Reciprocity, then, is free trade in Natural Resources. Here are two Nations. They are proposing to initiate Reciprocity. That is, they are about to throw open their Natural Resources, each to the other. But look at them. The one is a people already grown and established—their institutions and the basis of their citizenship long since driven deep in the soil., ■ , * . The other is a little people, small in the achievement of the present—great in the prospect of the future. Look now at the Natural Resources of the two. Those of the one have gone to build up a mighty civilization, but they lie prostrate beneath its weight; Ask of the devastated forests of Wisconsin and the lacerated farm land of Kansas, where are the Natural Resources of the United States? Scarcely an acre of the Free Land—the Homestead farms— left to the Newcomer. The forests, still a notable acreage, are clutched and torn by the Paper Trust and the Lumber Combine, till one State alone sees as many trees taken from the soil as the whole Dominion of Canada. And now, what? .,..-. . The ravenous maw of American industry opens wide, the restless eye of the Trust looks abroad for new fields. Down with the Barriers! is the cry. On to Canada! Down with the slumbering pine woods of,Columbia, and the pulpwood wilderness of New Ontario. Rip and tear the soil of Alberta that its grain may pour into the Millers' Hopper of Minneapolis. Down with it, out with it, away South with it—the whole natural heritage of the Canadian people that should have been held in trust for their descendants. And meantime smile, if you can, with the simper of the fools content at the sale of your little peck of potatoes into the Boston market. Clutch tight the Yankee Nickel of your profit. You may well treasure it. You have sold it for your birthright and your future. REALTY SALES Realty sales of the past few days include a lot on the north side of Fort street between Douglas and Blanchard streets, sold by Messrs.

HOTEL ACCOMMODATION GREATLY OVERTAXED Victoria is at present experiencing an almost unprecedented demand for hotel accommodation indicating the great increase in travel from outside points. For the past ten days hotel accommodation has been at a premium and the demand appears to be growing instead of diminishing. Hardly a hostelry but reports that the demand for accommodation has been largely overtaxed. Every hotel is filled to overflowing and guests are being nightly turned away. Victoria has before this experienced a lack of accommodation for the stranger within its gates, but tbat such difficulty should arise, at this time of year.is almost unique and is further testimony to th'e fact, that this, is Victoria's growing tinie.' The- growth- ef the city, the increased attention being paid to ' This'se'ctioh by the Outside world'are followed by a natural'increase in arrivals. At this time of year, too, the prairie resident, tired of the cold and storn.3 of the Eastern section, seeks the balmier climate of the Pacific Coast and adds to the number who crowd daily into the portals of the city. " / * B. C.' TELEPHONE: CO: •,' : ;_ ' 1 '/;, j i ■ A four-story class "A"' fireproof building, to cost $65,000, is planned for the B. C. Telephone Company,-to,be,,bu.ilt upon the property at the southeast corner of Johnson and Blanchard streets, and the local manager of the,company announced this morning that construction will be commenced on the new quarters as soon as the architect completes the plans. The ground floor, according to the plans, measures 41 feet by 70 feet and is to be set aside for the housing of the power apparatus and storage. General offices are to be situated on the first floor, with rest- rooms for the operators. The'second floor of the new building is being planned to house the batteries and terminal room apparatus, together with the plant department offices. -,-,/.* ■■'■'. On the third floor will be located the local and toll switchboards and the traffic department offices. The complete plans are expected to be ready in a few days, drawn on the lines laid down, with a building absolutely fireproof and up-to-date in every respect and with all modern facilities. •-' • Thomas Hooper, architect, is handling the plans. Construction is expected to be completed,by September of tbis year. PROJECTED DRY-DOCK Vancouver Island is coming into his own at last. A proposition is afoot to locate a great dry-dock in Lang's Cove at Esquimalt, which when completed will be the' scene of some of the'biggest ship-building operations in the world. The firm which will build the dock is the British Columbia Marine Railway Company, Limited. The dock will be 900 feet long with a width of 100 feet at the entrance. The cost is estimated at $3,000,090. What this dry dock and its attendant industries will mean to Esquimalt ancl Victoria and the Avhole fsland generally cannot be calculated in words. That it will have a tremendous effect in building up the Island is admitted on all hands, and that it will be the best thing that ever happened for the district is a certainty. It will shift to a large extent the centre of the ship-building to the Pacific coast. It is the first move in the general trend toward the west. When completed the dock will be of such capacity as to accommodate the very largest type of vessel; not excluding warships, and the latest merchant leviathans of the deep. B. C. E. R. EXTENSIONS ; Of late there have been reports in circulation to the effect that the B. C. Electric company would'not carry out the provision of the agreement arrived at with the city relative to the development of power at Jordan river calling for the expenditure of a sum of $250,000 on extensions in addition to thc cost of constructing the plant and conveying power into the city. At a recent meeting of the city council a memorial was ordered sent to the head office of the company at London, England, inquiring of the truth of these reports and urging that the company carry out the terms of its contract with the city, So far no reply has been received from the head office but a communication has been received from the acting general manager at Vancouver, Mr, T. R. Glover, who states: "I wish to assure you that the company will carry out the works which it agreed to perform in the Protective Clauses agreement. So far as f am aware there has never been a suggestion of withdrawing from any pledge which we have given." THE START ON VANCOUVER ISLAND An event which marks one of the most important epochs in the development of Vancouver Island took place this week, when His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor turned the first sod of thc Island section of the Canadian Northern Pacilic Railway. The ceremony was the formal inauguration of construction work upon the new road. There was a numerous attendance of thoroughly representative citizens, perhaps three hundred in all, who witnessed an event well calculated to become notable when the history of the Greater British Columbia that is to be, comes to be written. In the course of a trenchant speech delivered on the occasion Premier McBride stated that all sections of the Canadian Northern Pacific Railway in this province would be under contract within twelve or eighteen months at latest, and that this province's portions of the new transcontinental railway would be completed ancl ready for operation before the expiry of three years.

The membership consists of many of the best known of the young men of the city who believe that there is room for a third club in the city. The new organization has been singularly fortunate in the name chosen for the club. Fort Camosun was the first designation by which early Victoria was known, the Hudson's Bay company's headquarters here having been given the pretty Indian name. Last night the rooms secured were thrown open to members and the energetic work of the committee was indicated by the cosy and artistic arrangements made.

The Grand Trunk the C. P. R. and the Canadian Northern have all carried on an unprecedented campaign this winter to secure immigrants in Great Britain for their respective territories in Canada, and this is already showing its effect in the tremendous rush of bookings for all the boats coming to Canada this Spring. Dominion and Provincial News Work at Hope Hope is a busy town these days and the populace is naturally elated. The cause of it all is the actual inauguration of construction on the Canadian Northern between Hope and Popktim and a crew of over one hundred men has been placed on thc vicinity of Hope.

In 1913 the International Geological conference, will make Canada its meeting place. The main features of thc congress will be an excursion from coast to coast -on which members will size up thc Dominion's mining resources and take impressions of its geology. Will Not Go to Ottawa The Vernon board of trade, having received little encouragement from other boards of the interior in its efforts to arrange a delegation to OttaAva, has decided to cancel the proposal. It seemed to be the opinion of thc majority of the boards communicated with that nothing further could be done owing to the rebuff received by the Ontario fruit growers at OttaAva. Vancouver to Alaska Surveyors will be sent north this spring to locate the northern portion of the line of the British Columbia and Alaskan railway between Fort George and a point in south-eastern Alaska. The southern portion of thc line between Lytton and Fort George was located last summer. The company has secured authority to build from Lytton to Vancouver along the Fraser river, and this will give an ill-rail route between Vancouver and Alaska. Office Phone 1092 Res.

THE WEEK, SATUKDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1911 13 COOKING with GAS SAVES TIME and MONEY It is a method far superior to and much more convenient than any other. Gas for cooking purposes is more economical than coal or wood and it ensures more uniform results. No overheating or under- heating with igas. No dust, ashes or smoke as with coal or wood. Much cheaper, too, because you only burn the gas while cooking. Miss Hall is Here Just Now Demonstrating the Simplicity of Gas We would like you to visit these showrooms while this lady is with us. The "Jewel Cabinet Range" which she uses is admirably suited to the requirements of a large family or a gentleman's house.

The Majestic Theatre On Monday night the film de resistance was the great wrestling Inatch between Gotch and Zbyszko lielcl at Chicago and resulting in a t'ictory for the former. This is one |.f the clearest and most detailed pic- lures that I have ever seen, and I should think it was also one of the longest. Of special interest to British Columbians was another scene laid at Bankhead, B. C. This was |n the form of a drama dealing with love affair between the son of the buperintendent and a miner's daughter. Romano's Theatre Two thousand (feet nf film was bonsidcred a pretty good length not long ago, but it is not enough to sat-' |sfy the ambition of Mr. Quagliotti jf Romano's. Not content with keep ing his theatre open from noon onwards he this week secured a little 3,000 ft. film depicting the Cowboy and Indian Frontier celebration at Cheyenne. A mervallous combination of interesting sight was shown on the screen when this was unrolled. "Hunting the Giraffe" was a good type of educational picture shown during the first two days of the week. The Crystal Theatre Manager Jamieson is determined to lose no opportunity of making his house one of the most up-to-date in the city, and to this end he has intdo- duccd somewhat of a novelty by providing a vaudeville turn sandwiched in between the pictures. This week Prof. Hohmann has been delighting the audiences with violin solos which have been more than well rendered. "Checkmated," a powerful drama dealing with love, deceit, prison bars and justice, was on view on Monday and Tuesday. As usual Pathe Freres were well to thc fore with an instructive film showing the tin mining industry in the Straits Settlements. Most certainly thc children of this generation have unequalled opportunities for absorbing knowledge under the most favourable conditions, and it may not bc long before the schoolroom is shifted to the moving picture house. "Polly of the Circus" An event of the theatrical season will be "Polly of the Circus," Frederic Thompson's magnificent production, to bc seen at the Victoria theatre on Tuesday, Feb. 28. This wholesome and simple story is one of the most delightful plays of recent years. It would be difficult to imagine a prettier scene than that with which the first act of "Polly" closes. It is there that the young girl of thc circus world gets her lirst insight into things that arc higher and better when, as she first regains consciousness and realizes her helplessness, the minister reads to her, at her request, those memorable lines from the book of Ruth: "Entreat me not to leave thee; for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge." The curtain falls and thc story is begun. Watch for the parade. Josef Hofmann After a considerable fast for those to whom good music is a delectable feast, a treat of the first quality— a veritable musical banquet—is to be provided on Thursday evening next at the Victoria theatre, where Josef Hofmann is to appear in a characteristic recital programme. There is probably no other pianist of the day whose name and fame are equally well known throughout America, and the Victoria Musical Society, through whom the engagement has been brought about, is entitled to special congratulation upon securing for the edification of local music lovers a recital whicii promises to be both immensely pleasurable and vastly educational. In thc latter connection it is understood that the Society, whose policy it is to promote thc cause of music by every means possible, has arranged to meet the request of local students of the piano for slight concessions, in order that these may have opportunity of hearing a master of thc keyboard; and will grant gallery or balcony seats to such students, upon application through their teachers, at half the general admission charge. This is in itself a very great concession, and serves to accentuate thc legitimate activity of the Society and its sincere desire to further the true interests of music at. every opportunity, Hofmann, who like his great contemporary Paderewski, is of Polish birth, has only recently returned to America, accompanied by Mrs. Hofmann, who is an American, and their two interesting children. He opened the present American tour with a memorable recital at Carnegie Hall, before an audience taxing the capacity of that immense concert hall. Hofmann, who is eccentric among musicians in that he displays no eccentricities, has entered with keen enthusiasm upon his present tour, which promises to be one of the most extensive yet undertaken by an individual virtuoso. Apart from his recent appearances in Russia, the greater part of thc Polish pianist's time of late has beeu spent in recreation and study of a character not usually followed by the master executants of the musical world. The investigation of the problems of electricity, mechanics ancl political science have taken up latterly much of the time of this young genius who is now entering upon the greatest period of an already broad and distinguished public career. At the Street Corner BY the lounger (Continued from Page 2) nightly throng thc rink. 1 also found out something which I never knew before, viz., that there arc capable instructors of both sexes to teach the art of dancing on roller skates ancl I noticed that on the evening in question there were many proficient dancers amongst the odd two hundred people assembled. The rink is open every morning from 10 to 12 ancl in the afternoons from 2:30 to 4:30. Every evening the hall opens at 7:30 ancl skating is continued till after ten o'clock. As most people know, there is a mechanical Military Band Organ installed which discourses music on ordinary occasions and has proved very acceptable, and it is beyond doubt that this new engagement of the 5th Regiment Band on the part of the management will havc gratifying results. * * * * One has been accustomed to regard a second as a very short space nf time. At first glance it would seem impossible for anyone to hit an object fifteen times in one second and absolutely out of the question to hit a series of different objects fifteen times in the same time. But that is what Miss Rose L. Fritz can do when she gets clown to business on a typewriter. The Underwood is the only machine on the market which will stand the strain, and it docs seem to be asking rather a lot of any human made article. Never have I seen a more wonderful exhibition of typewriting than that whicii I witnessed last Saturday night at the Broad Street Hall. And I understand that on the following Monday when climatic conditions were more favourable Miss Fritz did even better work before members of thc Legislature and other privileged spectators, as also on Tuesday at St. Ann's Convent. In view of tliq fact that on Saturday night thc pieces dictated were delivered by her manager ancl were not selected by the audience, it is worthy of comment that on Monday a piece was selected by a stranger, Mr. Kent, ancl that Miss Fritz still preserved her phenomenal speed. On the same day she broke the world's record by copying 302 words in two minutes whilst computing a column of six figures. Thc extract copied consisted of words averaging 5.7 letters. Whilst engaged in conversation she managed to reel off copy at a rate of 159 words per minute. Such demonstrations have to bc seen to be believed and even then it is hard to credit the evidence of one's own eyes. As to how it is done, there is, 1 believe only one recipe and that is spelt with eight letters— p.r.a.c.t.i.c.e, Let us hope that the visit of this talented typist will stimulate the jaded energies of all the stenographers in town to say nothing of those of the Cfri trttK-tAW. »4 THE WEEK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1911 Miss Mowbray is visiting her aunt, Mrs. Richard McBride, of Victoria. * * * Mrs. Spofford has returned from visiting friends in Vancouver. * * * Miss Shannon, London, Eng., is the guest of her sister, Mrs. Rothwell Myers, of this city. * * * Mr. and Mrs. F.

THE WEEK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1911 _ CONCERNING FASHIONS The "startling discovery" has been made by an American writer at Lux- Or that the hobble skirt is five thousand years old, and was the ruling fashion through eleven dynasties, besides being the style worn by all Egyptian goddesses. This rather I dashes one's confidence in the orig- linality of his own time, says the New York Post, even if it provides a hoary sanction of the latest mode. But the really striking thing about it is the I Unconscionable duration it asserts for la single fad. A modern mind is stag- [gered as it tries to picture the un- I disputed supremacy, from dynasty to [dynasty and from age to age, of an [unchanging standard of dress. In the [twentieth centpry, we are not con- Jtent to stand still, and our liberty- lloving souls resent anything like dom- jination, especially in personal affairs, las our contemptuous disregard of the [fashion plates conclusively proves. [Hence our surprise at the stolidity of la people that was able to endure a ■particular vagary throughout genera tions, from Cheops to Cleopatra. One of our triumphs is the solution of the problem of style. We were long ago Convinced by our disinterested fash- n-creators that any style was bear- ile for a little while. Accordingly, ve restrain our sense of the aesthetic Ifrom breaking into open revolt by as rapid ancl sweeping alterations of the [fashion as the tardy seasons will per- jmit. her coffure, and if it be pinned in even the least taste it will look lovely One of the new ideas is to have a wide band of embroidered velvet or cloth of gold, and at the edge to sew on half full a two-inch gold lace, this latter to extend to just below the ears. The effect is exactly the same as though the wearer had on a pretty little cap. Another novelty is the yellow net bandeau studded with nailheads, the band to be fastened so that a passementerie ornament made of jet falls over the ear. All sorts of old-fashioned brocaded ribbon is put over the head. This ribbon must be old not only in design, but in coloring, too. Yellow sems to be a favorite dye this year. Nothing flashy is used on the head. The dyes are as faded and sunken in the tissue as though they were centuries old. At the high-priced places all these head ornaments are touched with gold or silver beads and much material in the way of beads, embroidery and motives to go on them, though the detail is so tiny that it is the great mass that counts. It is getting rather late in the season to use much fur as trimming, but until Easter the gowns trimmed with sable, ermine, and, most fashionable of all, skunk fur will be worn. The contrast of the fur with the transparent fabrics is one reason of its popularity, as this is an age when everything distinctive and original is bound to be popular. A pale grey satin net tunic embroidered in silver arid pearl beads and made up over white satin is far more effective in consequence of being trimmed with a band of skunk around the bottom of the tunic. Fur on the waist is more or less in the nature of an experiment, for if not arranged most carefully it is unbecoming. A narrow band is the best style, for the broad band rarely looks well, especially if the fur is of the long haired description. Ermine is in the short hair class, but is a fur becoming to few, and, in truth, is not to be recommended if it is near to the face. Even the freshest and clearest of complexions suffer by contrast with its dead whiteness, especially on an evening gown. The debutante, if her brilliant coloring be her chief beauty, can perhaps wear ermine and look charming, but if white fur is essential for the model of the dress fox is best, and marahout, which, of course, is not fur at all, is best of all. Indeed, marahout, in white, brown ancl the various fashionable shades as well is not one whit diminished in popularity, and as the season nears spring many evening gowns that havc depended for their effect upon their fur trimming are being redecked with marahout of the shade of the fur that has been laid away in a camphor (or rather sent to cold storage, as camphor spells a death warrant for most furs) until it can be used for some other purpose another season. Swans- down is also used considerably upon evening gowns for the debutante. Beaded and embroidered tunics can often be bought already made up to attach to any gown, and, incidentally, this provides an unexampled means of restoring a frock that has had too constant wear to appear any longer in its original state. There can also be purchased by the yard beaded nets which can be formed into most attractive tunics, and with a deep crystal fringe added, will make the gown as effective as could be desired by the most fastidious. Instead of placing white or pale nets over the gowns of brilliant hue, it is the fashion this year to have the tunic of some vivid shade of rose or electric blue .or emerald green, while the underdress is of ivory or cream white satin. The tunic or overdress also is generally opened both in front and back, leaving about an inch of the white visible. It is a good point to remember that when the tunic is laid on its white foundation it will forfeit much of its colour, so that a far deeper shade can be used than would at first be thought possible. ■!..'_ :i?ii%M :':*:***i*i: ■:*.■._*!.., > ,■■'*''________*__*. The really lovely things this season e been made for the head. Not vith respect to hats, either, for as a [whole the hat of this winter would better not be spoken of, for it has ling but its immensity to recoin- |mend it. The trimmings for the head are beautiful. They are so pretty that any woman has only to put one on Bordering many of the tunics, deep fringe is very smart just at the moment. Sometimes this fringe is of sewing silk, sometimes of gold or silver thread, sometimes of crystal beads or of jet if the gown is black or trimmed with black. The heavier fringes are preferred as a rule, as they tend to make the light stuff of the tunic cling in to the figure in the straight lines that arc the dominant note in the season's fashions. The fringe on the tunics may bc anywhere from two to six or perhaps more inches wide. On many models the tunic is really formed into the effect of a draped shawl by trimming the bodice as well with the same fringe. Slowly but surely the skirts of all house and evening gowns are growing larger. The tunic, however, does not yet reach the gorund, and is cither made quite short, so as to give rather the effect of a jacket, or else it escapes the floor by about four to eight inches. But of all things, it must hang straight, for this is demanded of every skirt made this season, and even the newest skirts, which really exhibit a respectable amount of material about the feet and ankles, are fashioned so as to fall wonderfully straight up and down. This is the time of year when the woman who does not go south has unending demands upon her smart black evening gowns. The newest black evening frocks, with their wealth of silver and gold trimming ancl their masses of jet and crystal and bead embroidery, are rarely beautiful examples of the dressmaker's and the designers' art. Grey so combined with black, jet, and black bead- work that it comes under the head of the black gowns is also much in favor for the most elaborate dinner frocks. A gown made with cloth of silver as a foundation ancl overdress or tunic of black with jet beads in diagonal rows was most effective. The bodice was filled in with silver lace worked over in gold. There is little likelihood so long as thc sheer materials continue to bc so exquisitely A Typical New York Of Authentic Frocks for the Aproaching Season Whatever else is included in a Spring Wardrobe, "miladi" must have one "best" Tailor Made.

WE GUARANTEE EVERY SATISFACTION BETTER A LITTLE MORE QUALITY AND LESS QUANTITY TOPICAL TRIFLES—XVI. (By Onlooker) If the prognostications of a Prussian suffragette are fulfilled there is likely to be a premium on Canadian husbands in the near future. The fair Prussian declares that the great surplus of German girls will emigrate to Canada,' and compete with English girls for husbands in this country. She says that among other things the "high price of meat makes it increasingly difficult for a respectable girl to get married" If the high price of meat has anything to do with the troubles of German maidens of marriageable age they will not be very much better off in this country. They would probably do better in the States where Dr. Herman Hille tells of a wonderful discovery in the shape of a" compound that contains in solution every form of chemical composition in the human body. Failing that, they might turn vegetarians, and live on British Columbia apples. It would be a grand advertisement for B. C. fruit farms. Then, there is always a chance for.a. pretty girl in New York as we hear that Edna Goodrich (Mrs. Nat Goodwin) has gone on a tour in vaudeville, leaving the ever verdant Nat footloose in thc matrimonial field' once more. A much heralded comedy entitled "Seven Days" played to a full house at the Victoria theatre this week. The advance notices commended it as a "brilliant comedy, scintillating with wit in every line, keeping the audience in paroxysms of laughter from start to finish. The scintillating wit began with one of the lady characters drinking a cocktail with disastrous results, or as in her own words, "it made her wobbly." Such was the start, but the Onlooker not being a dramatic critic for the local press and not having to echo the sentiments of the Advance Man or anybody else, got a tired feeling (partly induced by the extra paroxysmal paroxysms of the person in the seat behind) and went wearily home without seeing the finish. Socialism and the Church are at war! The Socialist member, Mr. Hawthornthwaite has aroused the just ire of the Reverend T. Heneage by branding the Boy Scouts movement as a training for future butchers and "murderers." It is to be hoped that no such sanguinary results as murders will ensue from the healthy outdoor training that the Boy Scouts are receiving. No doubt the Reverend gentleman who has taken up the cudgels so stoutly on behalf of the Scouts, will endorse the theory that "God helps those who help themselves, the devil looks after his own," and consign the Socialist member to the right officer. thoughtless licensee, or else the loss of license. The trade cannot deny that fair and ample warning has been given, and it will be well for licensees throughout the Province to remember that any sale or gift of liquor to a minor in British Columbia is distinctly an infraction of the law—that a minor is any person under the age1 of twenty-one—and that the burden of proof uder this act is always upon the person accused thereunder. , PROTECTING MINORS One feature of the Provincial liquor law which latterly has been somewhat of a dead letter insofar as its enforcement in the Coast cities is concerned, is that prohibiting the sale or gift of intoxicants of any sort to minors—a minor being distinctly and specifically defined as any person under the age of twenty-one. No one in touch with conditions as they are in the cities, can bc unaware that this Provincial prohibition is seldom given a thought by barmen unless the extreme youth of the prospective customer is obvious; or that many girls under twenty-one years of age are daily served with liquors in the restaurants, and never a question raised as to thc age of the fair applicant for a cocktail, or a glass of beer or wine. It is understood that steps havc been quietly taken of late to emphasize that thc law as enacted is meant to be obeyed, and carelessness in his dealings in the particular feature of the law may mean thc payment of heavy money penalties by thc Small Fur Catch That circumstances in the north point to one of the smallest fur catches on record is the report brought down by travellers and traders who havc been through these districts where the largest fur catches are usually made. Caribou are more plentiful this winter than ever before, and it is easy for the Indians and Eskimos to kill them and supply themselves with meat for the winter. For this reason the northern natives who are naturally a lazy lot, prefer to sit around rather than tramp through the snow looking after their traps. Fur of all kinds is plentiful in tHe north this winter, so the conditions will give the animals a chance to multiply and recover from the inroads made upon their tribes during past winters. English Street Cars for Regina The Canada Ford company of Montreal has secured the contract for the supply of the electric cars required for the street railway system to be established by Regina as a municipal enterprise. The company is having the cars manufactured at the works of the Brush company in Loughbro, England. This is the first time an English street car has entered the western Canadian field, and is is probable that as an outcome the company will establish branch works in Montreal for supplying the Canadian market.
