As one looked up from tho scone ol' low-liâ€" nvss (m the floor of the hous- to llll‘ galleries which worn also filled with Well dressed huliI-s tho picture was mostlwnutiful. It was a noticeable fact that tho Sl‘illS on the Government side of tho housi- were occupied by tho most stylish and richly dressed hullos. Massey Hall was once more fairly well filled on Thursday evening to hear the great (‘ourt singer to tho Empororof Germany, Mudzune Somâ€" lu‘ick. Horsinging has been looked forward to by many. nor was any one (lissuppointod as was evidenced by the manner in which she was received and appreciated by the very critical Hud- icnce. The singer looked beautiful in a gown of cor-isle moire, the skirt of vaudyked jetted net with a. bodice of jet over cei'ise and small pulflrd sleeves of Cruise \‘leut and was partic- ularly becoming to the (lurk hundx‘onle singer. A most excellent array of artists assisted. At a. large and fashionable afternoon tea last week I noticed some exquisite costumes. One admirable turnout was in sapphire cloth with the skirt braided in black and gold. The Rus- sian blouse was adorned in the same manner having a vest of tucked lawn with a narrow edging of ostrachan down either side, the waist caught in with a. band of silver braid, the sleeves quite small and furnished at the top with braided opnulcttes. Another striking costume was a skirt of black cashmere piped with blue velvet, in small coat of cornflowoi- velvet, with large collar and rovers of fur, showng avest of white cambric homstitrhvd with black silk. \Vorn with those was a. toque of bluce asti-uchnn, with a. knot of velvet and high osprey at the loft side, and a. dainty mulf of cornâ€" flower blue velvet tied with a- lace how. The latest style for n pincushion I saw the other day, and very pretty it was. The cushion twentyâ€"seven inch- es long and about four inches wide is covered with pink chino. silk with a full frill of silk sown all around it. Embi'oidor :t' iecc of line linen 01' bolting cloth t lo some size as the cushion finish the edge with a hill of prettylnco which must be. the some width as the silk fi-ill. Fasten the embroidered cover to the cushion with knots of pink baby ribbon at each corner and when finished stand it up across the bark of your dressing-cuss. Pansy luncheons are quite the most up-to-dnte things in society. Trim the table with pzmsies and embroider thenapm'y in the some flown-1'. At the most i'occnt nifuir, the hostess woreablue cashmere skirt trimmed with a. deep ilouiice of corn 131:0. The girdle was of yellow satin and at the frontal. bunch of yellow satin loops imitated yellow pnnsics. The rovers Wore of yellow and cream striped ribbon, and the waist and sleeves Wore trimmed with cur-u lace.

Upon his return in tho ('illlltill lost wnok he found :1. fitting climax to the satisfaction and pleasure derived from tho recent success at Torontouiwuiting him in his department. The post office returns to the department slioWed that the postal revenue was increasing at an unprecedented rate, the lllL‘l‘k‘ilSt‘ in the revenue for the four months ending Oct. 31st last, was $242,000 over the corresponding four months of l.\96. The increases for thi- past month confirm his estimate that there would be. a total increase in the postal revenue approximating the sum of $750,000, or about five hundred pm- ccnt. more than the normal :umuul in- crease (luring the past five yours. In fact the rol'urns for all Canada for the present fiscal your to (late indicate a steady increase of revenue as Well in the villages, as in the large towns and citiesâ€"and an increase that is not merely local, but general. Mr. Mulock Accepts that fact as one of the most conclusive proofs that ("aunulzl is in the butter times. The plan which he also is developing, of abolishing the re- striction of “ Addresses only " on tho loco of postal cards and allow the printing of advertising (losig‘nS and othvrllovices thereon, is expected to lmltnriully expand the illCI'mlsP in pos- tnl revenue. An attempt has been made by opposition writers to conâ€" (lulun tho I'L‘L‘l‘nt reduction in postage i‘utvs to tho old country, amounting to about $50,000 for the year, would ac- cruo from the adoption of this new policy. Likl- all the gloomy prognos- ticutions of the tOI’lt‘S the results will probably be found in entirely on oppo- site direction from that which they would secretly rejoice to learn. It is predicted in well-informed quarters that Canada will receive UVCI‘ 300,000 immigrants (luriiw the coming spring and summer.

Ilutchison touched on many of tlw important questions before the (lay. but spent most of his time on the- ‘ldumllional Qlli-stinll. 19 stated that (motif thn charges against the Edu- Cutiun Dvpurlun-nt was that there wvro too nmny examinations in con- um-tinu with the Public, High and Normal Schools. The Dr. showed that whom-as ther were twvnty-sovnn examinations in 1867. there are now only eleven. Another charge was that tho Ontario Government‘s fees from the candidates going up for ex- ;iminulion wm-o too high. The Ih‘. slimvwl that the fees wore exacted merely to (:nvt'I' the cost of the exam- inations, which was only just and Illlrlll'l'. Ollvnf tho iutorosting parts of tho spur-(l1 was that in which tho nolwd “Vast York piggPI-y was dealt with. It was clearly shown that )11'. J. \V. St. John hail mode :1. greth mis- take in trying to belittle the efforts of the: government to make use of the waste- provisions from the Mercer Ros fm'mntoi-y, the Asylum and the (‘r-ntml Prison. Mr. Hill, who was enthusiastically I‘H't‘lVl‘ll. after expressing his pleasure at being present and listening to the speech of Dr. Hutchison, showed the proud position that Ontario is in to- day afti-r havin,r been governed foo the past twenty-five vents by an hon- est and capable body of statesmen. Mr. Hill dwelt at length upon the question of good roads, and said that if elected to a. seat in the Legislature he would advocate the keeping up of it number of loading roads to the city, at part of the expense to be borne by the province, :1 part by the county, and a part by the municipality through which the roads run. After votes of thanks to the speak- ers the meeting adjourned. Tho next meeting will be held at “'oodbridge on Tuesday, the 4th of January. __«,.
