They Like Red Cents.


OF course. at Halifax the presence of the
officers in red Jackets and blue furnishes
a social feature to be found nowhere else
| save in Victoria, Be, on the other side OF
the continent. AS Is always the case In
garrison cities, there Is certain section of
society which devotes itself exclusively to
the cultivation of these gay heroes of land
and water, and to the girls Of this section
there has been given tag which can be
scarcely considered complimentary; but
whose appropriateness must he admitted.
They are called garrison hacks" and con-
stitutes in the main frivolous and as
fatuous class of women as can be found
in Canada. They have but one aim i'm life
to marry an officer-and to compass this
they are capable of almost anything.
Perhaps one in five achieve their ambition,
the others either make shift with some
Hobson's choice, in the way of an ordinary
civilian, or find themselves consigned to
hopeless spinsterhood. 1t is for this,
among other reasons, that the question
whether tie presence of the military and
the navy be an advantage or not finds
many supporters of the negative in the
city by the sea.
In the city of Montreal is presented the
spectacle Of two nationalities living side
by side in practical harmony, though d.
vided by differences of race, religion and
language. Out of the total population full
three-fourths are French, but the English
and Scotch people held the bulk of the
wealth. and in the social life Of the city
they present by far the most important
figure, and make bold to assert that in
no other city In the world have the girls
freer scope for life Of happiness or USE
fulness, nor can q finer, more interesting
type Of girl be found.
While much that has been written con-
corning the girls Of Halifax is true of the
girls of Montreal, and need not therefore be
repeated. yet there are certain character
istics which must be noted. For one thing,
the Montreal girl is not so subservient to
the old country obseryances and traditions.
She has more freedom of individual in
itiative end action, of which she takes full
advantage, but not. as might be feared,
so much in the direction Of larger social
liberty as Of less restricted personal action
As to Matrimony.
Matrimony seems to occupy a singularly
| unimportant corner in the minds of the
majority Of these girls. Their time Is SO
well occupied in the pursuit Of intellectual,
artistic and physical culture for Desarte
Is much in vogue) that the pursuit of hus-
bands is quite RELOCATED to the background
| Notwithstanding. when the fitting oppor-
tunity comes. as 1t does all In good time,
| they do not scorn it by any means, but
settle into the domestic traces with all the
more grace.

A GrOundless Rumor.

Great was our -amazement to discover
that the world had been alarmed for our
safety, and that there had been reports to
the effect that every life in the expedition
had been lost There never was even an
excuse for such rumors, and there never
was a moment in which we were unable to
take care of ourselves and make our way
unaided back to our headquarters. We did not
eyen'have any need for the services of re-
lief ship though we all felt deeply grateful
for the kind sympathy which prompted
friends to arrange for one, and which
would have been dispatched but for. the full
understanding Of the situation and sterling
good sense OF our agent at this port, Consul
Andrew Aagaard.
A pleasant incident before separation of
the members of the expedition for their
homes was a farewell dinner given by the
writer to all of the men who had learned to
value one anotners bravery and friendship
under most trying circumstances. Con-
trary to- the usual experience of arctic ex-
petitions, every man returned from the far
north friend ID every one of his comrades
and when, at our little dinner, We spoke of
the proba bility of another expedition to the
same field under the same leadership every
man begged to be taken with 1t. Better
men for such arduous task could not be
found than the gallant fellows who strug-
gled with US during the past summer We
had a sound plan. a prudent method, an
equipment well nigh perfect, more arctic
experience and skill In navigation and Ice
work than any previous expedition had ever
had In an average season We should have
accomplished enough to satisfy our ambi-
tions but II was a season of extraordinary
unfavorabIe conditions, and, though We had
an enjoyable and interesting experience.
the result was small compensation Tor the
outlay and effort. The fortunes of war are
VIGOROUSLY fickle. but he who falters at the
first rebufr does not deserve success.
