THE NEW HOME "The way tie get into a building" Ete Cabinet Minister explained "is to get in." In other words Parliament has left the Museum for the Hill. although the new home is not quite finished. As a matter of fact it will be an- other year befere the building is out of the contractors' hands and that means a course that a certain num- ber. of Senators will die before their quarters are ready. They tell me that one of the reasons why Parliament was in such a hurry to move in was because the Senators wanted to prepare them: selves for heaven by dwelling in marble halls for a short time on earth. Of course you can get marble balls at the Chateau Laurier or any other big hotel but that is not the same thing—it lacks the uplift. The new- home has about two miles of marble halls and the hope is gen- erally expressed that they will have an ennobling influence on the Farm- ers." Party. In assigning_the private rooms for the :members, great care has been taken to provide the U.. F.'s with S'unny southern exposures to melt their hard hearts and give them a broad outlook. That ought to help some.. The accoustics of the Green Chamber, which is really a White Chamber with the old faded carpet to give it greenery, are excellent. Maharg of Saskatchewan .tried out his stoke there the other day and people who heard him said: "This is the man who will put the cow in acoustics if it was not there be/ore." This COMMOTIS chamber is .said to ,be the largest in the world—but its _proportions are so just that it leaves an effect not of immensity but of easy spaciousness. e Its beautiful windows drink. in the light from both sides of the room, the pure white light, which .so many politicians lack. In course of time these windows are to be supplied with stained glass but this will* not happen. imtil the coun- try has settled down to a mellower frame of mind. Meanwhile, Parlia- ment will operate in a clear white light which ought to show just where every man stands. The Press Gallery—which occupies its usual perch above the Speaker's chair—boasts of many modern im- provements including two swinging rnirrcirs on the posts at either end. The Object of these mirrors is to angle the man under the gallery •to the journalist in the back row but -they do not work very well. They will probably be removed and that is reasonable enough because the press is well able to reflect public opinion his attitude toward personal freedom. in the good old way. I got it all right—wasn't I sitting This noble room would require more words to describe than I have space to use—so it must be enough to say that it is a wonderful confec- tion of cream, colored stone, panelled oak, bronze grills and marble screens, the whole making for a splendor -which is chaste but warm. Just now it is disfigured by the old desks and the old chairs, but with new trappings to match, it willibe the most dignified legislative chamber in or out of the British Empire. The Senate in Clover. The Senate Chamber is smaller, just as dignified, but more severe, as becomes the august character of its prospective occupants. At present, the Senate Chamber is a raffle of seaffolding, cement bags and builder's gear, but when it takes shape it will be a -thing of beauty and a sempi- ternal joy, even if the Senate be- comes elective or is abolished. The Farmers' Party, when it gazes on so much beauty may relent and decide to let the Senate live on, sooner than close a room of such surpassing mag- nificence. Indeed great things are expected of the statues and the paint- ings, with which our artists will be adorning the nation's temple for many years to come. They will have an aesthetic influence on the radicals who Will be disposed to say "We will not level down. Rather we vvill level up to these beautiful surroundings." Just now the Senate moves. breathes and has its being in the Railway Committee rooms, a lofty apartment whose very ante -room is �t for Kings. The touch of local color which makes it a Senate rather than a committee room is the red carpet which is sadly in need of the eraeuum cleaner. The old furniture looks ragged and shabby against the vivid freshness of the new back- ground. Just here is the place to say that the nen" Parliament build- ing is scientifically ventilated and does not smell either of carnets, rub- ber matting or Senators, which were the familiar odors of bye -gone days before and during the Great War, It augurs a noble eagerness for beauty that Sir George Foster, Gran'pere Doherty and other aged members of the Cabinet were just as anxious as the younger fry to get in touch with the new environment be- fore they died or were turned out at the next election. Many 'members likewise spoke ma. They said, We want to know how all this grandeur feels before we get the grand bounce, somewhere about September, 1921." In this sense the building is more than a Parliament—it is a mausoleum, crowded with tenants who look forward 'with more or less com- posure to the day when they will be tumbled out. The new home is just a bit noisy. The workmen go about their accus- tomed tasks in the uncompleted parts of the building. The hammers can be plainly heard but what is one ham- mer more or less to a Union Govern- ment that has long done business to the tune of the "Anvil Chorus?" The Temperature of Loyalty. • Space lacks' here to describe the lobbies, the caucus rooms, No. 16 and companion lounge, which bears are pleased to state, recovered suf- ficiently to return to her home here. —Miss Etta 'J'arrott, teacher at No. 14 school, Stanley, has not been. able to perform her duties during the past two weeks owing to illness.

At this Mr..Boheey and his sop, James, are writing the point is still unsettled but getting things inshape andwe feel if there are degrees of loyalty in Op- positions the matter will probably be determined at the next general elec- tion. We can always trust the Tories to give us the loyal temperature of all and sundry. I have never known an election yet where the question was not brought up --and thoroughly discussed.

Our little band of thirty or thereabouts is lost in this vasty DOOM which is equipped with every con- venience that money can buy or science can devise. The lighting is indirect in. which regard it resembles the editorials of -many of, our lead- ing newspapers. - By day the light comes clear and white from the vir- gin north, beyond the blue Laurentian Mountains, but it does not necessarily get into the newspaper, reports which are modified by many circumstances beyond the reporter's control, The Commone Reading Room is sentinelled by the Commons Smoking Room where members can cure their minds, bacon fashion, before asking for the Globe or the Mail in the pene- trate, of thought which is just be- yond.

M. Doig, of Port Mr. Rowell's Boudoir. If the members have private rooms which cause them to exclaim "Home/ was never like this," the Cabinet Ministers have sanctums which would not shame a king. The Premier's panelled ceiling high in walnut is on the first floor;' Mackenzie . King's, half -panelled to show he is on the way upwards, is on the floor above; and Brother Rowell's, no panelling or conceahnent of any kind, just tinted walls—is on the floor above that. The arrangement suggests dicta - ,phones and holes bored in the floor, so that the statesmen may keep watch on each other. It will /be seen that Leader Rowell operating from the highest level, can always look down on the rest. If I must pass criticism it is that Leader Rowell's room is not as austere as I had expected. The walls are a dull red with an undertone of yellow—too passionate, I should say, for such a chaste crusader. I dropped into Sir Galaha&s empty chair, just to get the feel of it—to absorb, if I could, on it? I am bound to say that the Min- isters have done themselves well in the matter of TOMS. Not only the Ministers but the ex -ministers of yesterday, to -day and perhaps of to- morrow. The lion. Sydney Mewburn has one of the best—a reward, no doubt, for past performance. The Hon. A. K, Maclean grabbed off a good one just before . he sent in his -resignation and of course he keeps it on. In other words a Cabinet Min- ister may lose his home in the Gov- ernment but he is always sure of a good room with a fireplace to take the ,chill off the political situation, and plenty of windows facing north, south, east and west—in,fact where - ever votes are to be had.—H.

McKenzie, became the bride of Mr. Collins, a prosperous young business man of London. The ceremony was performed in the presence of the immediate relatives at 12.30 by Rev. W. D. McIntosh in. his genial manner. After congratulations and a sumptu- ous wedding dinner the young couple took the evening train amid showers of confetti and good wishes for To- ronto and eastern points. After a short honeymoon they will reside in London. The good wishes of many friends go .with them to their new home.

The wedding march was played by Miss Elizabeth Rannie, of Zurich, and during the signing of the register she sang very effectively "0 Perfect Love." The bride was becomingly gowned in brown satin and wore a boquet of sunset rages and orchids. The bride was the recipient of many beautiful and costly presents, among which'wea a cheque for $1,000 f.rom the groom's father. They left on a honeymoon trip to Toronto, Hamilton and other eastern points, the bride travelling in a, navy blue tailored suit with hat to match and a silvertone broadcloth coat.

Sewers, which occurred an her home in Watford on Tuesday, February 23rd, after a short illness from pneumonia.' The follow- ing facts which we take from the Guide -Advocate of Watford Will be of interest to the many friends of the deceased and her husband in this vicinity. Mrs. Sewers was a daugh- ter of the late George Hart and was horn in. Stanley township, but spent the greater part of her life in this village. After graduating from the Clinton Collegiate, she taught school in Zurich and in 1910 she was married to Dr. Sewers, who is a son of Rev. E. H. Salvers, formerly pastor of Union church. The Guide -Advocate says: "Seldom has this community been so shocked as it was Tuesday evening when the news spread that Mrs. Sawers, wife of C. W. Sewers, M.D., had passed away at her home on Ontario Street. The fact of her serious illness from' that dread disease pneumonia was not generally known until a day or two before her death and the sad tidings were there- fore a sudden shock to many. Her illness was of about a week's dura- tion. Mrs. Sewers passed to her re- ward in the full bloom of woman- hood. She was a model wife and mother, of an exceedingly affection- ate disposition, bright' and winning in her ways. Her circle of friends - was large, as all admired her beauty of character. Deceased came to Wat- ford with her husband from Napier four years ago. Besides her hus- band she leaves two little daughters, Ruth and Edith, about six and three years old, rsepeetively, to mourn the loss of a loving and affectionate wife and mother. The funeral was held Thursday afternoon to the Watford cemetery and was private. The heart- felt sympathy of- the community in which she was so highly esteemed is extended to her sorrowing husband 'and motherless children. HENSALL Corn.—A quantity �f American Corn on hand.

Union Stock Yards, Toronto, March 2.--a Cautious shipping by some drovers who got their lingers badly burned last week when mav,ket dropped all the way to $1,50 per hundred pounds last Monday, combined with a hold-up by snow in nuraerous parte of the country made this morning's offering iii -cattle a remarkably light one, Only one thousand head were penned and while buyers did not betray any unusual keenness to oper- ate they had to pay from 75 cents to a dollar more per hundred pounds than they did last Monday.
