THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 19J9,
HiS LIFE WORK FINISHED.
Sir Oliver Mowat, the Grand Old Man
of Ontario, has finished hie life work.
Peacefully, almost imperceptibly, the
semi•conecious Bleep in which he had
lain since Wednesday night last became
at 9.31 on Sunday morning the dream -
leas slumber of death.
The biography of this Grand 01d Man
appears on page two of this issue. He
was a prominent figure in the public
lite of the country for very many years.
Entering the parliament of Canada in
1857, after 17 years of successful prac-
tice as a lawyer and some experience 88
an alderman of Toronto, he was a cabi-
net minister in the short Double-Shuije
government within six months, and in
1859 he joined the Sandfield Macdouald-
Sicottegovernment a8 postmaster-gen-
etal. Again we find him In the coali-
tion government. which Walt formed in
1861 to work out the scheme of (=fed-
eration, and he took an active part in
the conferences with the statesmen of
the maritime provinces, favoring an
elective in preference to an appointed
senate. He took a place on the chan-
cery bench in the fall of 1864, doubtless
regarding hie political career at an end,
but it had in reality just begun, for in
1872 he was back in the field as M.P.P.
(or North Oxford and premier of On-
tario, which position he held for 24
yeare, resigning in 1896 to become a
Dominion senator and minister of jus-
tice at Ottawa. In 1897 he wan ap-
pointed lieutenant -governor of his na-
tive province, whish high mud honor-
able office he retained till the day of his
death.
No man in Canada's history was more
highly respected by all classes of his
countrymen than Sir Oliver Mowat, His
was not merely the admiration given to
an exceptionally successful career, but
even hie political opponent» knew him to
be it good man, actuated by a high sense
of duty, backed by patriotism, know-
ledge and ability. His acquaintances
were all his friends, and thousands who
did not know him personally loved him
for his works' sake, Even fu extreme
old age, there seemed to be no diminu-
tion of hie mental vigor. He scanned
closely, saw clearly and decided cor-
rect'y. It will be many a long year bo -
fore Sir Oliver Mowat is forgotten, and
the beneficial effects of the legislation
which he initiated will endure for ages.
Peace to his ashes.
came to the mourning ntbjeet she beth•
tated and looked her audience over for
a moment. Then she said;
"Now, I dont want any of you to be
offended and you wont have reason to
be if you IP!te my words itt the spirit in
which they are intended. but I want to
make a point of this: 11 you ere young
widow, do not wear a heavy crepe
mourning veil or a mourning ruche;
neither it yon are a milliner meat you
advise a young widow to wear them.
Rather forbid her doing so.
"All her sadness does not obliterate
the fact that the heart of the widow is
stilt young, and there is a entire. The
heavy crepe veil and the widow's ruche
are too much of an advertisement.
"These mourning trappings are for
the widow with slivery hair, the elder-
ly widow whose life is in the past and
who could uevor be induced to enter-
tain even a tborght of a second mar-
riage,
"There are certain rides for mourn-
ing to be studied from the very begin-
ning of vour business career. First,
know your buainese, that you may be
able to tell sincerely the proper thing
to be worn under such circumstances.
Advise the young widow to wear a veil
of Hun'a veiling, but not crepe, no
matter what the style, The creation of
a style depends much upon you, any-
way. Let her have a bit of crepe on
the bonnet if she wishes. Tell her to
wear, for the first six months, a veil,
bonnet or hat end gown of the same
general tone and material, Instead of
the ruche, let her have a little face veil
with crepe bands. But never, uever let
her heve crepe; she wont like it in the
end mud she does not in the beginning.
"For the elderly widow, the long,
heavy crepe veil is in keeping. She
weave it with dignity, good Mete and
also with discretion.
"Young or old, a widow should wear
a Veil for the first few months, but only
et the funeral should there he a heavy
drape over the face, Never after that
day.
"The period of the wearing of mourn-
ing gowns should not emeriti over three
months for a child, Silt mouths for a
young woman and one, two to three
years for a young widow."
