ALL THE WORLD AT llpR FET
Stories Told by alC'fi taniotns Beauty
Peacock's Evil Influence.
"People ran after me ' in -droves.
staring me out of countenance, and
even lifting my sunshade to 'satififY
fully their curiosity. To venture out
for a little shopping was posittvet:
hazardous, for the instant I enterer'
an establishment to make a purchast
the news that I was within spreac
with the • proverbial rapidity of wile
fire, and the crowd about the doe:
grew so dense that departure by,tb
legitimate exit was rendered tmpor
sible, the obliging proprietor beim
forced,with many apologies, to eseoi•
me around to theback door."
Not even in these days of mucl
boomed film "stars" has ,,greater it
terest been shown by the public i-
any one personality than was the cat
when Mrs. Lilife Langtry was the idc
of society. So intense was the excite
nient she aroused that on one cera
Mon a girl seated in Hyde Park, be
ing mistaken for her, was so badi-
hurt by the attentions of the croft
that she was Laken unconscious t'
S. George's Hospital.
"lVly portraits were in every'sho•
window, with trying results, for the:
made the public so familiar with m -
features that wherever I went -- it
theatres,' picture galleries, shops =-
was actually mobbed. One night, a
a large reception at Lady Jersey's
many of the guests stood on chairs t•
obtain a better view of me, and
could not help' but hear their audibl•
comments on my appearance as' 1
passed down the drawing -room."
The daughter of Dean Le Breton
•,f Jersey, where she was born, Mrs
Langtry (Lady de Bathe) describer
in "The Days I Knew" her dazzlins
career from the time she .left he*.
Channel Islands home as the wife of
Mr. Edward Langtry,, a wealthy Iris!'
widower, to her retirement fromthc
social and theatrical spheres,' in
which for many years she reigned as
a veritable. queen of beauty. Of he*
conquest of the highest circles of
London society she tells many stories.
"Invitations toreceptions and balls•
were so numerous that we were most-
ly obliged to attend two or three of
each in an evening in order to keep
up with out engagements. Devon-
shire House, with its renowned mar-
ble staircase, was certainly one of tilt-
most
hrmost attractive of the great house(
we visited° We went to one of thr
Marquess of Hartingtons' political re-
ceptions there. On our arrival hr
Left his place at the head of the stair:
•tnd conducted me round the n gn'
Scent rooms, pointing out a fev
treasures, and, on my admiring thr
lovely colored water -lilies reposing Ir
marble pools, he drenched his clothe'
pulling them out as an offering."
Mrs. Langtry adds: "Through at
this prceession of operas, dinnerr
znd balls I wore my one black ever
ing gown, the creation of a Jerse-
:iressmaker; still, the meagreness o'
my wardrobe did not seem to be no -
'iced by others; and it was not even
realized by me. The gown, needles;
to say, had grown considerably th'
worse for wear as the season wor"
on,. and•; I ani sure my maid dis-
approved of it heartily."
One evening Mrs. Cornwallis West
mother of Constance Duchess
Westminster, begged Mrs. Langtry tc
lend her the gown, as she had nom,
time to reach her own house tr
change before going to the. opera
Afterwards Mrs. Cornwallis Wee'
went on to a ball, with the resul
that the precious dress was returno=
o its owner practically 1i. rags.
A time came when the Jersey Lel;
—the name bestowed on her by a
compatriot, Sir John Millais, thr
teat artist --and her.husband foun(
their resources coming to an end
Creditors began to be unpleasantl;
•iertinent in their attentions, and at •
last the couple found it convenient
to leave town. Mrs. Langtry ascribes
these misfortunes less to lack of care
than to the baneful influence of pea-
cock's feathers, in whose potency for
evil she confesses herself ' a strong
believer.
One of her brothers, a high Indian
official, having shot a sacred peacock.
was killed by a tiger soon afterwards.
When the tragic news arrived Mrs.
Langtry made haste to rid herself of
a stuffed peacock which she kept in
the house, She gave it to a friend,
Frank Miles, an artist. A few weeks
later Miles' father died suddenly,
while he himself was obliged to break
off his engagement by reason of an
illness from which he never re-
covered. '
'Wears afterwards, in New. York,
I was summoned to the bedside of
an apparently dying friend, Harry
Oelrichs, and finding a hideous brass
and feather travesty of a peacock in
the room I begged the invalid's. hro
thee to have it removed, which he did.
Though probably only a coincidence,
it is certain that at onee the sick man
began to mend."
Kings, queens, princes, and great
statesmen were glad to number them-
selves among Mrs. Langtry's ad-
mirers, A frequent .caller was Leo-
pold Ring of the Belgians, who would
sometimes have himself announced as
early as nine o'clock in the morning
So early, indeed, was he one morn
Ing that Mrs. Langtry sent word'
down that she eould not: see him"!
A Slow Worker.•
•A visitor to the olllees of a big firm
was struck by the lazy movements of
an elderly member of the staff, who
seemed, all the same, to be on good
terms with the others.
"How long has that ratan worked
for you7" he asked the manager,
"About four hours, T should say."
'Indeed!.; 1. should have Judged
from his manner that he had been
here longer than that."
He has," said the manager. "Be'e
been here about two years."

LIBERAL GOVERNMENT
SUSTAINED
Amid scenes of the wildest excite-
ment, the government at z o'clock last
Friday morning, secured a majority
Of three on the ton -confidence amend-
ment proposition by Rt. Hon, Arthur
Meighen, Conservative leader. Five
Progressives voted with the Conser-
vatives. The total vote stood; Again-
st 123, for x2o. Majdrity against
three.
As the figures were announced by
the clerk, both Liberals and Conserva-
tives rose, cheering frantically, ,fling-
ing masses of paper in the•air in their
excitement. Up to date, the naval
debate inx913 was the high level of
'Canadian parliamentary thrill. Ot-
tawa observers, whose memory goes
back 3o or 40 years, declare that nev-
er was there such public interest in
any parliamentary tilt. •
The Frenchmembers, before the
vote, chanted Alouette, a song which
in English is: "We reap in joy what
we sow in ,`pain." The result proved
them right. As the Progressives rose
each was watched with intense inter-
est Something like a groan came
from the' Liberals as the five prairie
bolters voted Tory. Agnes MacPhail
voted Liberal, although shortly before
the vote she said she would not vote
for either group. J. W. King,' M. P.
for North Huron, -was there to cast
his : vote with .the Liberals. The five
Progressives who voted Conservative
were: M. N. Campbell, W. T.' Lticas,
A. M. 'Carmichael, . A. M. Boutillier,

The Fifteenth Parliament of Can-
ada was in session six clays, and the
vast: majority. of Canadians, irrespect-
ive of party or group allegiance, have
had enough of it. Premier Ring will
reorganize now, but as soon asthe
voting of supply and the transaction
of necessary business is concluded,
the people are prepared to face fine
inconvenience and cost of another
election in the hope of securing stable
government, and a Commons which is
prepared to''devotl its energies to the
service of the country.
The six days of political jockeying,
wire -pulling, sidestepping, manipulat-
ing and, intrigue are more than suffi-
cient. The sordid spectacle of the
representatives of two historic part-
ies, eager to banter their: professed
principles and policies for office, has
sickened the public.
Canada has had enough. Better put.
up with another election, get back to
two party system, and secure a good
government once more. It many not
be all it should' be. But it will be ha-
ter than this.

TIMELY TOPICS OF INTEREST
Landspecul'ation of the Florida
kind is like buying stocks on 'a buck-
et shop margin—the bucket shop us-
ually gets your money and you retain
the experience. Naturally there- is a
large quantity of "stage money" fig-
uring in these Florida land; deals. At
lot of the stuff is bought on what
might be termed a "shoe string" with
the idea of making a quick turnover.
The "boom" from first to last is un-
sound fundamentally, and as such is
bound to collapse. • The boom will
end when new money ceases to flow
into Florida. . In other words, the
bubble will burst when the northern
people awake to the fact that Florida
sand is no more valuable than 'other
sand.
CRITICIZING PAPERS
Criticizing the home paper is a
favorite pastime of a large majority
of people. Like public officials, what
it says and does are constantly be-
fore the public and its errors are
easily detected. An individual may
go through life malting mistake af-
ter mistalee and few will know it, but
let your newspaper err in „ever;, a
small detail, and the critics have a
choice morsel to chew.
Newspapers are human, and are as
liable to err as any man or woman
and their opportunities for making
mistakes may be found in every lino
—in every word. A wrong address,
incorrect spelling .of names, little iin-
aecuracies may creep 'into the col-
umns no matter how earnestly the
editor and assistants may strive to
be accurate.
All we ask is that you be charitable
Make a few ;allowances for the diffi-
culties that beset the publisher, and
remember always, that ;nothing hurts
an editor quite so much as to see his
mistakes in print. He has no chance
to cover them up—the prided word
can't be 'erased., . Don't forget that
newspapers ate made by human hands
