(On her second visit to England she gave her first concert under the. pa tronage of King Edward VIL _ and Queen Alexandra. She was preullted to King Edward in 1907 after singing at the Royal Amateur Orchestral conâ€" cert in Queen‘s Hall. She prepared for grand opera under the turclage of the worldâ€"famed tenor, the late M. Jean de Reszke and made ber operatic debut at Covent Garden, London in 1913, in the role of Maddaâ€" lena in Verdi‘s "Rigoletto." Other artists with whom she sang included Madame Melba and John McCormack. She was given an enthastastic recep tion. : king time She returned to this continent and was contralto soloist in St. Bartholoâ€" mew‘s Church, Now York, and Tompâ€" she studied for three years in Winâ€" nipeg, then moved to Rurope where she continued her music in London and Paris. In the latter city she was West‘s Nightimgale Dies in Ensland M The Weekly Times had an ediâ€" torial on Canadian Provincial Debts in which came the quite unpardonâ€" able words "............the very unsatisâ€" factory budget before the Vancouver Legislature." Don‘t they know. in London, that the capital of British Columbia is Victoria, on Vancouver Island? It is possible that geography even that of the empire, has been left out of the curriculum in English schools? I feel sure that the Times office has its radios, and telepl'hones.| and televisions, and cablegrams, and everything up to date â€" except a map. I do wish they would buy one. It would save a lot of bad feeling on this side. In the Court and Personal column of the Observer I see a notice wordâ€" ed as follows: "Sir Perey Vincent will visit Canada in August where he will be a guest of the State of Vanâ€" couver." Now where and what is the State of Vancouver? We in British Columbia know all too well what the state (with a small s) of Vancouver is just now but â€" the State? That has an American savour, we don‘t grow States in Canada. Perhaps the editor meant Province? And why of Vancouver? Please tell him this is a pupil of the famous Madame March Recently the Times had a photoâ€" graph of the King, when Prince of Wales, on horseback "on his ranch near Manitoba"! _ Now the King‘s ranch, as everyone knows, is in Alâ€" berta; the next province eastâ€" ward is Saskatchewan, and after that, six or seven hundrec miles away, comes Manitoba. Believe it or not, there are quite a number of places between the "E.P. Ranch" and Manitoba! to which their staff writers could reâ€" fer when mentioning places in Canâ€" ada" Particularly, this applies to the Times and Observer, two papers that have been taught to believe were inâ€" fallible. Punch makes fearful howlers in its verse when referring to places oqutside England. Sir: â€" Could anyone suggest to London editors that it would be a good idea fo_r them to buy an atlas And now to cap all comes a really agrant breach of Imperial diploâ€" acy.

Up early to kinâ€" dle fires on winter mornings to make the house comfortable for the family, through an endless day of hard tasks until, with the last supper dishes washed, she was free to slip her shoes from her aching foet and rest herself sewing carpet rags. No wonâ€" der at a later date, when the facâ€" tories opened their doors to women, they flocked to them by the hundred. Her one contract with others ocâ€" curred when she went for a pail of drinking water to the public pump a block away. There she met the neighbors and lingered to "swap yarns." Mother used to scold her for wasting time, but I fancy mother was secretly entertained by the lurid gossip retailed on her return â€" Saturâ€" day nights she ‘went "on a ball." Where it was held or with whom she danced we never knew, but we did know she returned towards morning fagged, happy and with the sole of her stout shoe worn thin.
