Real ; Jas) & Romance of te Road (Written for Tue STAR.) During the Christmas holidays the happy mother of a very young infant took the north train near Whitby on her way for a short visit to her mother. So short was the intended visit that the travel ler took her own and the babe's requisites in a suit case, placed near her in the car. Arrived at Prince Albert, and the station being unexpectedly aanounced, our traveller hastily wound a warm wrap around the tender nursling, picked up a few articles. and too hastily grasped what she took to be her suit case, and was immedi ately hurrying behind a swift steed to the home of her expectant parents. Their pleasure was un bounded at the return of the daughter and their first view of their grandchild, and happiness and serenity were unbroken until opening the suit case the young mother found--not the tr:asured articles of infant adornm :nt and comfort but--a bridal trousseau ! * * * * * k * On the same train had been, as a fellow passenger, a young and blushingly expectant bride, a fair maiden on her way to meet HIM. the HIM who alone filled her heart and thoughts. The following day was to be her last of anxiety and her first of bliss. She had not seen him for many months, and, lost in thought, wherein even a reporter would not pry, we leave her to her maiden meditation. But, though art be lovely, and time, like the trains on this branch of our railway, be fleeting. time and the hour run through the long: est day. In due time, if not on scedule time, the train reached a station farther north ; the station is. announced and the maiden grasps her suit case, or what she takes to be such, and soon is in the arms--but the reporter turns his back. We follow them, how- ever, to the home where coming events are foretold by festive 'arrangements more glad than even Christmas cheer, where Hymen. worship lightens the faces of all, both young and old. It may ap- pear 'strange that at a moment when nothing should be wanting or perfect hap ppiness, curiosity -- ond we say pride--should suggest to the maiden to unfold the bright 'and beautiful gown, destined for the morrow's ceremony, to Fhe et us be'truthful--the suit case was opened, when lo; the nighties and Japkins, the bibs and frocks of ancy and innocence, came tumb- tng out, +'and in 'a moment all was dark." - The smile was ban- the laughter turned to mourning, the bride to be fainted, the invita: was off.

This is particularly applicable to the women, whose movements and conversation are quieter and who are without the hunt- ed look In the eyes which marks sa many Americans. "It may be that the colder climata exercises some moderating influence, but probably the chief explanation of these differences lies In the fact that most Canadians are country born an® bred. There are few large cities, and even the dwellers in these cities keep up a most constant contact with coun~ try life. Nowhere in Canadian cities does one see the profusion of luxury and waste visible in New York or Chi- cago. Though most persons seem ta live in fair comfort, there is no class of milllonaires dominating 'soclety' and making the form and pace for servile imitation among the less wealthy classes. "Hunting and fishing, with their ac- companiments of camping out, play a large part in the national life, sport not having degenerated Into the merely gambling and spectatorial habits. Al- together, the Canad!an lives a healthier lite. Even busy cities itke Toronto and® Montreal conduct their business life more quietly than cities of correspond- ing calibre in the United States."--Chi- cago News. Growing Water Lilies ¥rom Seed.
