wards Third Parliament.
Royal Pageaniry Of State Open
ing Deferred 10 Feb. q.
Government Will Be on Anxious
Seat for Several Days to Come.

London, Feb 15.-The third Parlia-
nlent of King Edward assembled this
afternoon. The ceremony was simple,
all the royal pageantry connected with
the state opening being postponed to
Feb Il and the interim devoted to the
swearing in of members and the clear
irg away, if possible, of the difficulties
confronting the government. These
latter are due not only to the divergent
interests actuating the various par
ties which constitute the coalition ma
jority, but as well to the divisions
within the parties themselves over the
best means of graphing with the great
Issues brought about in the recent APP
peal to the country.
Not for many years has such Intense
| interest attached to the opening Of the
Legislature and seldom have the prob
lens involving the success or failure
OF the government threatened to be so
difficult of solution even to the most
CAPABLE of the members Of Parliament.
! The result Of the recent elections Is
so confused that even the staunchest
press supporters Of the government
admit that proof that the government
will have a majority to act drastically
upon the dominant issues can be es-
tablished only after the House Of Com
mons has settled down to work and
the Nationalists and Laborites show
their hands In the course Of the de-
bate upon the speech from the throne.
The proceedings today were brief.

A WoMAN's QUESTION.

Before I trust my fate to thee,
Or place my hand in thine,
Before l let thy future give
Color and form to mine,
Before I peril all for thee,
Question thy soul tonight for me.
/ break all slighter bonds, nor feel
A shadow of regret;
Is there one link within the past
That holds thy spirit yet?
Or Is thy faith as clear and free
AS that which can pledge to thee?
Does there within thy dimmest
A possible future shine,
Wherein thy life could henceforth
breathe,
Untouched, unsharsd by mine?
II so, at any pain or cost,
o, tell me before all is lost.
Look deeper still; If thou canst feel,
Within thy inmost soul,
That thou hast kept a portion back,
While have staked the whole,
Let no false pity spare the blow,
But in true mercy tell me so.
Is there within thy heart a need
That mine can not fulfill?
One chord that any other hand
Could better wake or still?
Speak now, lest at some future day
My whole life wither and decay.
Lives there within thy nature hid
The demon-spirit, change,
Shedding a passing glory still
On all things new and strange?
It may not be thy fault alone
But shield my heart against thine
own.
Couldst thou withdraw thy hand one
day
And answer 20 my claim,
That fate, and that today's mistake
Not thou,-had been to blame?
Some soothe their conscience thus;
but thou
Wilt surely warn and save me now
Nay, answer not-I dare not hear,
The words would come too late;
Yet would spare thee all remorse,
SO comfort thee, my fate;
Whatever on my heart may fall,
Remember, I would risk it all. .
