The Passing Premier.
Having staked his political fortune on
the issue of freer trade relations with
the United States, and lost, Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, lays down the premiership Of
Canada after fifteen years as the doni-
nant party leader of the dominion and
nearly fifty years Of activity as a party
man. He is 20 years Of age, though he
does not look more than 50.
Sir Wilfrid is of an old French Cana
dian family of Quebec. His father was
prominent in council OF state. AS a young
barrister he married into another in
influential French family. Early in his
active work he came into the political
! life of the dominion. From his first
forensic effort he was noted for his
eloquence and convincing style of .argu-
ment. From natural inclination he ex-
poused what is known as the Liberal
political cause. He liked. the word
liberal, and he has pursued the liberal
thought in all things. He is the one
representative In all the history Of the
dominion Of the French population to
come into dominant official position.
1t is one Of the finest compliments to
Sir wilfrid that writers who have
visited Canada for partisan newspapers
opposed to his policy have been impeiled
to give him compliment. They came to
deride and remained to compliment. He
is described as having a fascinating pres
ence and orotory. 1t is related of him that
when the Riel rebellion of the north
west half-hreeds was under considers
ton he held the then government re-
sponsibility, and when a verdict on the
outbreak was under discussion in Parlia-
ment he made an impassioned speech in
which he exclaimedi TOO late! Too late
Too latev' The interval between the
exclamations being more dramatic than
anything ever seen on the theatrical
stage. And he followed this with the
scathing sentence in arraignment of the
ministry: IF criminals are wanted dc
not seek them among the dead or on the
scaffold-they are before usl''

Conditions of Republican Success
Governor Aldrich's denial of the re-
port that he is one of the leading
lights in the La Toilette conference
called to meet in Chicago next month,
and his declaration that he is willing
to let the presidential preference pri-
mary in April decide for whom Ne
braska's delegation shall vote in the
republican national convention, will
probably excite the wrath of the ex-
treme anti-Taft radicals. But It is
no departure from the position the
governor has taken from the start,
and, in fact, only what the ants
asked in the last republican state
convention. Governor Aldrich has a
perfect right to be for La Toilette If
he wishes, and to let that be known
but he has avowed his candidacy for
reelection, and If he is to run on the
same ticket with President Taft, he
certainly should be in position to give
every one on the ticket the same
cordial support he will expect from
others associated with him. II we

The Coming Man.

The Coming Man.
Mr. Borden is 81 years Of age. a Nova
Scotian by birth, a lawyer by profess
sion and the only conservative in a
family of liberals.
In recent years, and more especially in
the campaign just closed. Mr.. Borden's
ability as a speaker has often been mem
toned. - IL was apparently an ability
which he acquired with training. for he
was not one of those whose entrance
into Parliament was marked with q
burst of oratory accompanied with floral
wreaths from constituents at home.
During his first term Mr.. Borden spoke
seldom. and only upon questions in which
legal considerations were dominant He
left the House an impression Of moderate
temper and solid qualities, but no one
saw in the quiet, studious, capable. I'M
assuming member for Halifax the future
premier Of Canada. 1t ives apparent
that his mind turned naturally to con-
siderations of equity. There was no
sign that he was greatly interested in
the fervor and ferocity of the party
struggle. He was more concerned with
the character of legislation than with
party exigency and party strategy. It
came to be said, as indeed It is still said
by his opponents, that he would make
an ideal minister of justice, and that at
least establishes the impression of capa-
city and integrity which he made upon
the House of Commons.
Until 1904, the conservative leader held
his seat with little difficulty. In that
year, however, he met defeat at the
polls in his own district, and for a time
was on the point OF resigning his leader
ship. Others in his party prevailed
upon him to accept a seat in Ontario, and
he had the satisfaction four years later
Of being returned to Parliament once
more from Nova Scotia.

For the Bridegroom.

To realize the small figure cut by a
bridegroom at his own wedding one need
only peruse the pages of a book of ETH
quette having to do with the marriage
ceremony There are reams of instructions
for the bride, from how to carry her veil
to how she shall greet the business
acquasntances of her father. But how
about the poor neglected bridegroom
There are no pages written for his en-
lightenment. He does well to get para
graph or so tucked down near the end OF
the story. No one tells him how to carry
his hat, or cares whether he has hat
at ALL He is supposed to efface himself
to enter into the scheme OF things only
when the ceremony cannot go along with
out him.
There is only one occasion upon which
the bridegroom is absolutely necessary,
and that is when the minister must have
some one to pronounce the husband OF
the fair bride. Even then the poor har-
assed man has propensity for slipping
he is compelled to tumble for it. In the
end he drops it, wheretpon 1t promptly
rolls out of sight and is rescued only
after much confusion and considerable
embarrassment Men without number
have been known to forget the golden
circlet OF sweet bondage altogether.
Not only must the man In the case as
sumo neutral demeanor during the res
tivities, but he must dress the part. His
clothes are black and solemn to behold
he is allowed to display absolutely no par
TALLY in the choosing of his wedding
garments. He looks very much the same
as he has dozens of times when attend
ing formal affairs. The bride may be a
veritable Flora, wreathed with garlands,
yelled in mist Of tulle and filmy lace. The
l.only festal note allowed the bridegroom
is a single blossom or boutonniere of
white against the sornber blackness OF
his coat.
Another thing-he has always been led
to believe the woman Of his choice loved
him devotedly, that her parents approved
persona grata. Yet when the day of
happy contamination arrives every one
weeps over the bride, who thereby en-
dangers her own loneliness by wiping the
tear drops from her shining eyes with a
wisp of lace masquerading as a hand
kerchief. Every tear is like stab to the
man standing by wondering what it is all
about and feeling very much like a
brigand caught in the act of stealing
away a beautiful young maiden.
All this sentimentalism and panoply of
love Is very dear to the heart of a girl,
dreaming, as she has, over the most won
derful, the most eventful day OF her life.
Yet when the loneliness Of the bridegroom,
despite the fact that this is his wedding
day and one quite as momentous to him
as to the bride, is taken into considera-
ton, small wonder then that SO many
pairs of lovers wing their way secretly to
some quiet nook and take the vow OF
eternal constancy away from the sight
and sound Of ceremony.

Fads and FanCies.

Hand-tucked blouses OF sheer linen with
jabots trimmed with valenciennes lace
are much form.
taffeta are used on both afternoon and
evening dresses.
Big fiat shapes, with oval crowns. hav-
ing very little trimming, are the hats OF
the moment. Many are faced with eye
let embroidery in colors.
AS a decorative agent in trimming a
tailored suit there is nothing so effective
as black and white silk.
Two shades Of blue. one very much
lighter, are used on linen tailored suits.
Little bonnets or erin or silver lace
with ruffles Of fine lace falling over the
hair are very dainty and attractive.
It is of black net, and is worn over a
silk stocking of a contrasting color.
shoemakers' heels are used on street
shoes and boots. while the Louis XIV
heels are reserved for evening shoes.
The very newest form of watch is
that which is placed within pendant.
Still smaller is dainty watch set In a
ring.
A deep sailor collar Of white net chif-
fon or mousseine appears on many or
the smartest mourning gowns of the sea-
son.
Small peaches. apples, oranges, plums,
even representations of melons, figure In
hat trimming, all with vivid glow OF
color.
Skirts on evenings dresses are slashed
at the side or front, showing rufnes or
net or lace on the under dresses.
To wear with a white mourning shirt
waist and skirt the correct mourning hat
is either all of white crepe, made on the
order of the popular lingerie hat, or Is
,, of starw with a bowknot trimming OF
white crepe or dull ribbed silk.
Shoes with pointed and round toes are
alike quite out Of favor. The present
style resembles that worn by Louis XIV.
with high, straight heels, cloth uppers to
the ankles and large straight buckles
Ancient buckles are in very great de-
mand.
