a mystified sort of fashion. The re-

shocked him. He remained silent for
about fifteen minutes.

LONDON, March /, 1911.
CANADA will spend $4,000 at the
Festival of Empire which is to be
held at the Crystal Palace. London,
from May to October next. All the COMM
ions of the British empire are taxing part
in this exhibition, and the Canadlan sec

general council says, LAS an instance on
the fire slopes beyond the grand terrace
the various colonial governments will be
represented by three quarter-siZed repllcas
of their parliament buildings, in which
will be exhibited examples Of the produc-
tive and industrial wealth of the different
dependencies"
The necessary colonial atmosphere Will
be given by scenic artists and mechanical
exnerts who will erect painted screens
depicting typical landscapes and types of
the Inhabitants engaged in their daily
avocations. In addition to the colonial
section there will be an all-British eX-
hibition in the existing Crystal Palace
building, where a fine display of the prod
ucts of the empire will be given. Besides
these attractions a great pageant or the
empire will be held under the direct pat
ronage Of Princess Louise. Frank Las

pageant, is known to Americans, as he
was the organizer of the tercentenary
festival Of Quebec, held a couple of years

About 1900 performers will take part

this year it forms part of the corona

held in conjunction with the 1estivaI and
a great procession from Hyde Park to
the Crystal Palace-a distance of about
ten miles-is to be held. 1t is claimed
that even in Nice nothing to be COM
pared with this ever has been attempted !:
in addition to over fifty cars there will
be many thousands of performers in

Britain. besides numbers OF business
houses. are helping. The Duke Of Mari
borough Is lending a great part of his
art collection and many other specimens
will be on view.
In addition to these main features there
will be innumerable other attractions, such
as empire concerts. in which vocalists
and musicians from all parts OF the en-
pire will take part, carnivals, battles of
flowers. military tattoos and naval and
military tournaments. A special space for
flying demonstrations is being prepared
and in the fine theater in the palace there
are to be numerous theatrical and musical
entertainments of the highest class. The
whole scheme is receiving the active sup
port of the government. and it Is conf
IDENTIFY expected that King George and
Queen Mary will be present, il not at the
actual opening, very shortly after it.

trio were without homes. and while their
conduct after being placed on parole had
been exemplary, it was thought best by
Miss Foster to place them somewhere for
at least several months where the infiu-

a long way toward obliterating the past.
They are happy and contented, Miss Fos-
