TILE DUCIIESS OF WICK.
The Duelless of Teak, though so
closely related to the Royal Fath -
cares little for the splendors of
'court life and attends as few big
fanctiolee as possible. Sae loves
the simple life and living in the
country-. She is one of the five
charming daughters of the late,
Duke of Westmineter, and is also
connected with the' Coke family,
her stepmother? Katherine, Duch-
ess of Westminster, and Georgina,
Countess of Leicester, being sis-
ters. The Duchess is further relat-
ed to the 'Royal Family by the mar-
riage of her first cousin the Duke
This point i1intrate a great differenee
between a Canadian political meeting and
one held in Britain. Int the old country
every speaker, no matter what his rank
or standing, from the Prime Minister
down, nfust expect to put urf with beck -
ling. sn fact they , expett it and risamy
of the most successful speakere thrive 011
it. The heckling is generally' to the
point, but to an unexperieneed speaker
it must be dieconcerting. However, in
England he has to got lace to it, But
In Canada the audience itself will not
stand a in the apparent belief that it
seems to reitect on its own loyalty to the
epeaker.
There were two significant incidents in
conneetion with the vieit of the Prime
Minister. One wa,s the fact that the
coachman Who drove his oarriagoson the
night of' the meeting had. on a simihar
occasion performed the same office fer
the late Sir l'ohu Macdonald, Hts name
is John )3arnes, aad'he is, of ecsurse, now
quite an old Wan. The carriage, too, was
the one used for Sir John.
The Famous Red Parlor.
Tho other feature was the fact that the
Premier's headquarters for a portion of
his stay was made at the Royal suite at
the Queen's; Rotel, including tho famous
'red parlor. This fa.mous -room is situated
on the first door overlooking Front St.
and. the garden. ; It, has undergone no
alterations in the hest forty years. Tho
gilded' Royal coat-of-arme on the"- outer
door proclaims with pride the rank of
some former occupants of thd .suite, in -
eluding the late Ring Edward on hie visit
to Canada as Prince of Wales, the Grail&
Duke Alexis of Russia, Princes Louise
and the Marquie of Lorne. On- the walls
hang portraits and signed photogralthe
of some of the former notable oecupants,
including side by side those of 'Sir John
Macdonald and Sir Wilfred Laurier, -and
among others those of the Countess of
Aberdeen, Madame Patti, Madame Als
bani end theselountoss of Derby. The stair-
case leading from the Royal ignite to the
ground floor was built specially for the
princess Louise in order that she might"
enter the dining aomir unobseryed. , .

Mr. Lucas has found it neoessary 10 ex-

of Isaac Benson. Apart from its lack of
veracity he has no objection to the Brock
reference. although Xr. Lucas is himself
not noted for his pugnacions or comba-

he shuns a eonflitt. Quite the reverse.

he is one of the pleasantest 'mon one

Mr. Lucas was originally a Lambton
