There is an encouraging glimpse oi light, however. tors now eschow much qualifiedly condemn the use of a draw- ing room fér menagerie purposes, even china animals being tabu. Though the habits of the past are all- too tenaciqus there is evident much hopeful improvement and it will not be long before {the ginger-hready drawing room will be as much a mat- ter of history as the gilded frying pan. In the decoration of a parlor, the size usually met with in city houses, especially one poorly lighted, can do quite as much in aliecting proportions by the placing of furniture and pictures as he can in the choice of a paper. No wall decoration can adorning | Professional decora- over decoration or long, narrow one be devised that has diminishing sizes of patterns to be placed at the far cods of a room away from the entramce, but the ar- rangement of the larger niture and pictures in ¢ the foreground, and the smaller ones at the ends of the véoms brings about a perspective illusion. of far greater width than acinally exis!s. Continuous design in carpot ing weakens this or ceil each room in the house elaborate trimming and all un- pieces of fur- immediate size effect so rugs that can be laid across tho room to break the continuity are preferable to pe that' Hii with' the Tenglh of fe room. Ceilings can be made to ladd to this effect by bang broken in to panelled spaces. Drawing-room decoration can be less elastic than that of any other room. It is so purely a formal room, usual ly with 4 more or less well-defined at- tempt at some "period style" of furnishing, that the wall decoration imust, of course, harmonize closely with this feeling. Light tones and delicate somewhat fanciful designs or plain stripes ar most popular, and most rightly so too, though some rooms one sees de corated in the lightest of creams ecru or. pale green, simply cry out fo a more vigorous treatment in the somewhat deeper tones. This is usual ly due to the clash of heavy furniture and the too-delicate wall treatment. In thorough keeping with the best general ideas of driving toon decora tion is the hotogri h herewith. The paper should be eit velour in the distinctive colorings that only velour: have, or a "silk" in pale n, fawn biscuit or ivory--in the light tints--o salmon, leal- "green or grey. The border is "cat out' both along the top. and the bottom of the fes toons and applied over a filler of light fabric chambray of harmonious blend ing with the stripes in the wall. The bold drawing of the frieze and its rich elaboration in applique relieve the otherwise excessive formality of the stripe pattern. . The woodwork should be enameled pale green, ivory, cream or white to contrast with the paper, and the carpet should be in dark, somewhat plain designs of the colo complementary to the dark stripe of the wall hanging. As the walls wil show a rather great expanse of un broken spage in the average room, it will he well to velieve this with hang ings of appropriate color but rathel Ae design. The ceiling offers 8 fairly large rang though Qhe most admir (especially if there were & cove effect) would be to continue the filler used behind the applique border up on the ceiling to the distance o about two feet from the walls, _sétting this off with a narrow panel divide: and using a cream or ivory 'ceiling pa per in the centre. This would tend tc balance the effect of the stripes an would give the clusters of roses at the apex of each festoon almost the ap '| pearance of being on the ceiling witl the festoons themselves hanging away from the; walls.

He Has Done Much For the Cana- dian People--Idea That a Gov- ernor-General Has No Influence is No Longer Held. The Toronto correspondent of the London Times, recently wrote of Earl Grey, the governor-general of Canada, as follows : He is an agreeable speaker, he has the power of lucia statement, and he has an acute perception of the natur- al sensitiveness of the Canadian as well as of the more robust side of his character. The notion that the governortgener- al exercises. no influence in the public counselsgis not so generally entertain- ad as it was some years ago. Alike in social fashions and in com- mercial methods we begin to show the effects of American influences and to sonform to the continent to which we belong. No doubt these tendencies have heen aggravated by a long sea- son of commercial prosperity and the beginnings of large fortunes in min- ng, manufacturing and transporta- tion, A character in one of Owen Wis- ter's books declares: that the mission of the United States is to vulgarize the world. This is a partial, bitter and splenetic judgment, with just maugh substance at the root to make the taste bitter in the mouth. More: over the United States begins to show in art, learning and science in moral sndeavour, in zeal for humah hetter- ment, in all higher pursuits, a spirit rivalling in spirit and devotion that which for two generations has set the Jeep marks of commercialism upon the American character. There is no loubt, however, that the distinguish- ng characteristic of American life has seen display as the distinguishing fea- ture of American industrial life is ef- iciency, and it is inevitable that both socially and industrially, we should be affected by our close geographical re- lation to the United States. Political ly, however, we seem to be wholly un affected by the United States influen- es, that is in so far as concerns our imperial relationship, and even the novement for national dependence, which 'had some e xpression in the ress and on the platform fifteen or twenty years ago, has now few serious wlvocates and no organized opinion to yield its support. No one challenges the appointment of a British governor-general or ques- ions the value of the imperial con: aection. Earl Grey has often been dis- criminating in his praise, and not sel lom courageous in counsel. Very par- tdcularly has he striven, but always vith wise reserve, to strengthen. the attachment of Canadians to the nother country. Over and over again he has com- nended 'Canada for its leadership ip serferential tariffs, in perferential pos- tal arrangements, and in cable subsi- lies, with the object of combining the :omponent part of the empire togeth- or. This has been Earl Grey's teaching ull over Canada, and he has always spoken in such excellent temper as to ive the message its, full effect, It. is 20teworthy that he has never been the subject of class criticism, nor has he wer excited even the passing ill-will of either political party. Earl Grey's relations with the French people of Quebec, have been wappy, The great event of his regime was the tercentenary celebration. The cesult has been a marked increase of good feeling between Ontario and Quebec. It was moreover, a fresh consecration of Canada to the empire. Earl Grey has told the Canadian seople that "The highest wisdom con- sists not in the frenzied or restless yursuit of wealth, but in the forma- tion of character." There was both lattery and admonition in his declar- ition, that if we do not eventually ead the United States. it will be he- fause in the pursuit of greed we have 'ost the freedom which we now enjoy. He has asked us to guard against the langer of allowing the swollen head to blunt the edge of efficiency, and to remember that it is the soul of the ndividual that stirs the world, and lirects the forces of mankina. He has advised us to be scrupulous in the observance of public contracts and just in legislative dealing with in- ested capital. He has declared that the chief immediate requisites of Can- ada are: (1), Such measures as will ay firmly and securely the founda- tions of a future trade with the Orient. (2) As will perfect our system of transportation east and west, and secure to Canada the full benefits of her geographical position; and (3), as will increase the supply of labor. This is sound and wholésome teaching, un- affected by personal interest or parti- an relationships. Nothing more is needed td show the value of the vice- regal office, to explain Earl Grey's sopularity in Canada, or to account for the general desire of the Canadian people that he may remain in this country as long as the most liberal interpretation of constitutional usage will permit.
