Ottawa, April 12, '07. Spring Millinery Openings, Last Friday was anything but en au8- piriene day for the Spring display of millinery but despice the disagreeable snow steno a large number of holies found it convenient to take a peep at the new styles and before the mirror to prove to their satisfaction the most becoming shapes. Saturday Old Probe Was in Mattel; bunter and as a oonsequenee the fair sex were out in full forme. Tbin season the crowns areunnemelly high, and a number of them are tbe Bell crown,- One of the ohief features will he lace over the edge of the rim, and in other ogees $awere will be unclo-r the rim, and flowers on the edge of the rim with tulle or netting over them. Also, there will be a few Tam crowns, but very diE ferent from what they have been. They stand high up from the rim, shooting 001 from the edge of the orown. All the trimmings are of a very softening oltaraoter, and 'flowers will be in abund- ance, some hate, in fent, being made al. most entirely of flowers and foliage. A lady matte the remark the other clay while examining a pretty hat, that the trimmings were all at the bunks. This la not the case, ae the majority of hats we have viewed have trimmings alt over them, but of course not distinctively so. To tell the truth the millinery this sea- son is goy, and deoidedly so. All the shades in heliotrope, from the palest lavender to the richest eminence, is used; scarlet is used extensively ; and all the shades of green, the latter more this sea• son than heretofore. A combination of heliotrope and green will be a noticeable feature. This season, geraniums, ours• etiono and lilies of the valley will be the leading flowers. Perhaps this season will eolipse any for some time in the use of flowers, ribbon and lane, and osprey too. In ribbons there are more plains ones ; very few Dre.deo eEleote will be ,teen. Toques this year will be numerous with medium sized bats as well. AT Mas. 11000138' millinery store Mies Dunbar made &roost handsome and well arranged display in• eluding the latest and mostfashiouable goods of the season such as !late, bonnets, ribbons, flowers, .30, The MoKinley, a square crowned hat trimmed with shot effects ; the Leona, trimmed in mauve end green with violets ; the Meteor, de. unrated with a mase of violets, nook's plumes and a dash of velvet; the Monitor with Bengal trimming ; the Mandarin, a sailor, New York style; and a turban with foliage orown were among the meet attractive. But we won't attempt a mfinute diseription as we could not do the subject justice if we made the trial but will advise the ladies to pall and judge for themselves, Seiler hate were shown in endless variety end the trimmed work was certainly most creditable to Miss Dunbar. Mre. Rogers also made a fine display of ladies' oyes in fawn, blaok, green, brown and other pretty shades. The prospects for n good season's trade are very .favorable a nice start being made on Friday and Saturday, and the ladies are to be oongrntulated on the 8000808 of their opening. Our Ottawa, Letter. Contrary to general expectation, the debate on tho address ended in rather a different manner than Was anticipated when it began. No attempt was made by the leader of the Opposition to offer any anlendmont thereto, and in taking that Colt's° the veteran leader displayed a wari• nese nnaounnou whim. Party exigencies compelled him to adopt dodging tnatios. The feint to attack the Government posi- tion WVaa made principally to affect tho approaching general elections in fetiebee. The attack was, however, delivered half. heartodly and ended in a fiasco. To have forced an issue at the point of a waut of confidence motion must, of necessity, have embraced the Cetholio schools settle• meet in its tering of censure. The Op. position leaders, after their mooting m general caucus, fully realized the extent of the division is their rank and file, in respect to the vexed question, and that apart from the Quebec contingent -there was a 8erien8 defection mom the matter among their Ontario followers. Of the inherent weakness and disunion existing, at preaemt, in the Tory party, those oat - side it frequently obtain a glimpse. It is a fent, often emphasized of. late, that hearty co-operation and nutted purpose does not and cannot exist among the Con. servatives of to clay. This assertion will apply not only to those in Parliament, but to tie party at large. This state of affairs has followed, as it usnally does, upon the heels of a crushing defeat, and it is a condition tvhl0h cannot be over- come in a year, or perhaps in the next decode. To any unprejudiced observer of tho present political ootloolr, with a fair retrospect of its past history, tho boastful words of Sir Charles Tupper, uttered not many months ago, that the now admilistrntion could not survive the present session, fall upon the ear with the emptiness of sounding brass. An apt illustration of the old adage, "whom the Gods will to destroy, they first Flake mad," in well shown, I think, in the case of the Conservative party as at present organized and led. Two Provincial general elections are now in progress—ono in Nova Scotia and the other in Quebec. The former will take place on the 2033) Inst., and the lat- ter three weeps later. It is generally felt here that Quebec will once again return the Reform party to power, and that Nova Scotia will decide to retain her Lib• era) administration for another term. I think a prodiotiou may be made eloug these lines with every confidence and the final results will shote to the world that Mr. Laurier is Premier Mcleod of Liberal Canada. The election returns, from the recent contest in Champlain Comity, plainly reveal the trend of political events fu Quebec Province, as straws show how the wind blows. A Tory majority of 370 only nine short months ago out down to within One third of that nambor, on Weduosdey of laet• week, is significant of the independence of the eleotornee of Quebec in spite or priestly interference or influence, A victory in Quebec would deal a death blow to the fond aspirations of Tory loaders. Oue thing is p1,lain, however, that Liberals aro siugularlymagnauimotte to the fallow, brit relentless, foe. There is no undue exultation over the contiunecl succeseoe that have added their weight and lustre to the 1000010 gained on the 23rd of Juno. Having succeeded in bringing about a peaceful revolution of affairs In the Government of the country, and having ushered 'n 14 6 e t a now ora 01 so smolt promise in our National well•beingg, Liberals can afford to be gnaoioas in their treatment of the fallen. I1 this trait of our politioal chneaeter lies the enviable 0011tfa83. Our opponents loso by ft, Out' prestige gains. Our success es a united party waging tan Monnet warfare on be half of the farmer, the artisan and the laborer, is assured, and the iron grasp of oombino and monopoly rolaxoe be hold upon the country with oho wauo of Tory power. Yet with all the forbearance displayed by the Liberals, groat outcries are heard, on all sides, tvllou a Tory civil servant is superannuated 00 dienuseo1.
