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
