! thrive at all, and the chances are that
what has held heretofore may be relied
| upon a standing rule. The English and
Canadian commissioners and the ladies ac-
companying them may take to themselves
| the entire credit of the unusual number of
| festive occasions now on the tapis. as the
| American members of the commission feel
under many obligations for the courtesies
| extended them in Canada last summer
