As the first lady of Canada, she at once won the hearts of all, and her re- ceptions, balls, skating and toboggan. ing parties and parlor theatricals en- joyed a vogue which those who took part in them will never forget, .

Perhaps the most splendid ented ain ment ever given in Canada was her fancy-dress ball, which took place at Rideati Hall in March, 15876, and which it is said cost apward of one hundred thousand: dollars.
