Inquiry Needed After reading in three Toronto daily papers the explanation of the accident to the air liner in which Sir Frederick Banting was killed, we are convinced that there never was an accident that calls more urgently for a searching inquiry.

Rev. Father Pelmosse officiated and burial took place in the Roman Cathâ€" olic Cemetery. . Honorary pallbearers were R. Cryden, P. Green, L. OConnor, G. McNulty, W. Grant and F. Varieur. The active pallbearers included G. Deâ€" longchamp, F. A. Ricard, P. Dufour, U. Kelly, B. Ricard and M. Ainsley. The late Mr. Lauzon was well known in Sudbury and all parts of Northern Ontario, having first come here about 50 years ago, from Ottawa. He was born in Arnprior Ont., in 1866. He was a prospector in the gold rush of 1898 in the Yukon and also spent many years in Northern Ontario mining fields, staking claims. One of the first members of the local Knights of Columbus Lodge, he also belonged to St. Anne‘s Roman Catholice Church. For several years he served on the Sudbury Council and he was always keenly interested in civic affairs. Havâ€" ing been retired for the past six years, the late Mr. Lauzon resided at 369 John St. Surviving him are two sons, Arthur, of Toronto, and Oswald, of Sudbury. Two brothers and a sister Thomas, of Ottawa, Xavier, of Monâ€" tana, and Mrs. Cecilia Dufour, of Otâ€" tawa, also survive. About midday, feeling hungry, they looked for dinner.

For a woman‘s home, even more than her clothes, reâ€" flects her own individuality since it is not subject to such frequent fashion changes or to the standardizations of style. Here she interprets herself in a background that is more permanent, yet just as becoming and congenial; here she reveals herself in that more private mood to be shared only with friends. So it was that we saw in Mrs. Williams‘ home a reflection of an inâ€" teresting personality. The First Floor The entrance hall is a classic oval in shape with an inlaid marble floor and walnut Queen Anne chairs and benches in old tapestry. Two other oval rooms open off at either side of this entrance hall, one a ladies‘ coat room with Chinese murals, woodwork and upholstery in old gold. The genâ€" tlemen‘s coat room on the other side, also an oval room is panelled in walâ€" nut. The reception room is also on this floor overlooking Central Park, a room with walls and damask draperies in off white, an old Ispahan rug in mellowed tones. The furniture, 18th century English antiques, is covered mostly with offâ€"whitq damasks and embroidered fabrics. A distinguished detail includes an unusual Chippendale cabinet filled with Mrs. Williams‘ colâ€" lection of white jaae and white porâ€" celains. An old spinet dated 1750, a fine Waterford glass chandelier, a porâ€" trait of Mrs. Williams by Sorine, the Russian artist, and two other paintings by. him contribute to the fastidious distinction of this roomr. ~Directly across the marble entrance hall from this room is the dining room with walls decorated in the famous Ssert murals in characteristic colourings but with a carnival spirit predominatâ€" ing in the subjects. A large old Ispaâ€" han rug covers the floor while the draperies are in a brilliant green 18th century damask. Queen Anne chairs upholstered in 18 century velvet, unâ€" usually fine buffets, a marble mantel and lavish flower arrangements conâ€" Mrs. Harrison Wllhams Is at Home With 18th Century English Furniture, Isphan Rugs, Beautiful Pamtmgsâ€"â€"Murals of Her Dining Room. In the dining room of Mrs. Harrison Williams‘ home, the walls are painted with murals by Sert, best known for his decorations for the walls of the Sert Room at the famous Waldor{fâ€"Astoria Hotel. The dining room THE HOME OF A GRACIOUS LADY PLEASANT HoMES A noble staircase leading to the secâ€" ond ficor has a Boucher painting as it turns and at the top in a balcony niche a large and old Buddah. The gallery into which ‘the stairway leads has pickled pine walls, an old Ispahan rug, a painting by Goya and another by Bronzini, offâ€"white draperies, Queen Anne furniture in 18th century crewel coverings and gilt finished consoles. Great Paintings Leading from the jwest end of the gallery is the drawing room with pine panelled walls and paintings by Româ€" ney, Hopner, Turner, Gainsborough, FPraconard, (Boucher. Here again an old Ispahan rug contributes mellowed colourings, and furniture coverings are in old tapestries, embroideries, damâ€" asks. A collection of 18th century porcelain birds and a pair of William and Mary mirrors are interesting complements for the other things in this handsome room. tribute to the spacious elegance of the room. The library leading from the east end of the gallery also has wood panâ€" elled walls with gold damask draperies and an old Ispaphan rug. Over the marble mantel hangs an original Goya. A tall pair of spinach jade lamps, a kidney shaped desk, old damasks, and unusual backgammon table and old furniture complete the furnishings of this gallantly proportioned room. That Most Important Quality All of the furniture in the house was brought over from England by Mrs. Williams, and the treasures in paintâ€" ings, porcelains, books and bibelots have been collected lovingly and with a discerning eye. It is, in short, the home of a woman of consummate taste who has lhad opportunity to search the world over for beautiful things . . .. the home too of a woman with that most important quality of allâ€"reâ€" straint. For there is nothing spectaâ€" cular abcut this handsome house, no striving for dramaties. In it Mrs. Wilâ€" liams has chosen to combine classic furniture, fabrics, and yet because she herself has great individuâ€" ality, the house has that also, achieved in subtle illusive ways.
