She was 95 years of age. She had been an invalid confined to her room for some years, but had shown a lively interest in the life of Harlestone, and on every Armistice Day since the war had entertained ex-servicemen to din- ner, 'At these gatherings a letter from her was always read. In her letter last November she sald: "The weakness of old age is ro- sponsible for, my not personally re- celving you, -but I share to the full the desire we all feel that you will have a bright and happy evening. "The sounds of your voices and the smell of your cigars will be a link between us, and in the end we shall all join in thanking God for the victory which has heen so largely the result of your courage and devotion," The duchess had been almost blind for 14 years, but up to the last she dealt with a large corres- pondence and insisted on being kept informed of the latest news, Her mother was French, and on her father's side she was descended | from one of Napoleon's ministers, | She surprised her relatives on | ner 94th birthday by singing the "Marseillaise" from beginning to end, school under the auspices of the | HON. MARY ELLEN SMITH, M.P.P, Distinguished woman legislator, who recently visited Toronto and was the guest of Mrs. W. E. N. Sinclair, [5 ONLY WOMAN CABINET MINISTER Hon. Mary Ellen Smith En. joys Unique Distinction-- Was "Speaker" for Day Among women prominent in the eye of the public at present is the Hon, 'Mary Ellen 'Smith, M.P.P., of Vancouver, British Columbia. This charming woman has had a long ca- reer of service in public work, In an interview with Mrs. W. E. N. Sin. clair, who had the privilege of enter- taining Mrs. Smith during her stay in Toronto this week, the writer re- ceived many impressions which she trusts will be of interest to those women who have not had the oppor- tunity of meeting personally this woman of influence and distinction, Coming as a' child of five years from England where she was born, Mary Ellen Smith has spent the greater part of her life in British Columbia, As ihe daughter of a mem- ber of the British Columbia Legisla- ture, she became interested at an early age in things relating to the government of her country, and it is not to be wondered at that when she became the wife of Hon. Ralph Smith, also a British Columbia repre- sentative, she proved of infinite value to him in his work and at his death took up the standard as it fell from his hands, carrying on in the inter est of her country through the Lib- eral party, To her is ascribed the honor of being the first woman cab- inet minister in the British Empire and also the distinetion of being the first woman speaker, she having oc- cupied that office in the B.C, Legis- lature for one day. At present she has the honor of being president of the Federation of Women's Liberal Clubs of Canada, and in that capacity has been in On- tario, speaking at the Ottawa con- vention and again in Toronto this weelc, She is one of the foremost women speakers of the Dominion, her thorough knowledge of her sub- ject and entertaining manner of pre- senting it, ensures the rapt attention of her audience, Of course the subject uppermost in her mind is that which relates to the welfare of womankind, and she has made "a special study of the Mother's Pension Act and has rend- ered valued service in its adminis- tration, In speaking on this matter in Parliament she made the state- Westminster Glee Singers Delighted Two Audiences Here Famous English Vocalists Here on World Tour -- Concerts at St. Andrew's Much Enjoyed -- Held Under Auspices of Young People's Society Saturday Afternoon and Evening Much has been written and said about the Westminster Glee Sing- ers during their tour through Can- ada and those who had the privilege of hearing themy on Saturday in St. Andrew's Church, were convine- ed the organization fully merited the praise it had been so freely accorded. The people of Oshawa and surrounding district owe a debt of gratitude to the young people of St. Andrew's for the feast of char acteristic English music brought through their efforts, Such enter- tailnments should impart a stimu- lus to our naturally musically in- clined people and should revive an interest in national airs and folk songs. . The singers, numbering six boys and ten men, were probably at their best in the afternoon program and their work should be a source of inspiration and education to the large number of young people who attended this concert. Picked from various famous choirs of England, they can scarce- ly be said to represent a Cathedral Choir, but are rather a fragment of one, rendering as their distin- guished leader, Mr, Branscombe ex- presses it, "vocal chamber music." The music of old England was giv- en first place in both afternoon and evening programs, although several fine old Scoten melodies were introduced in the evening, In their madrigals, part songs, carols, sea shanties and glees, they reached the absolute height of per- fection to which such music can be brought, truly living up to the tradition of centuries which are be- hind their singing. All these songs were beautifully rendered, but probably in the well known glee, "The Bells of St. Michael's Tow- er" the most striking tonal effects were achieved. The vocal accompaniments to va- rious solos proved an interesting departure from the usual order of things. This unique arrangement was especially effective in "The Last Rose of Summer," sung by Master ' Lawrence Baldwin, the smallest of the boys. Donald Reid, the male alto, possesses a type of voice rather unfamiliar to most of us, but a type cultivated to a most marked degre of perfection' in Ca- thedral Choirs, Mr. Reid's singing was particularly artistic and he was repeatedly recalled. Master Edwin Brasier, soprano, proved another popular member of the company, while the baritone solos by Charles Draper, and base by James Bare ber were of the purest type of vo- cal music. The sea shanties, a de~ cided novelty to Oshawa audiences, were sung with rollicking gusto by Albert Greene. On the* whole the two concerts were a charming demonstration of ancient and modern songs, mostly ancient. There is in these old songs a purity of composition, a tuneful. ness, charm and daintiness. These fascinating qualities were made the most of by the cultured singers who presented them. The happy memory of the visit of the West- minster Glee Singers will long re- main in the minds and hearts of those who heard them. --K. C.

Most of the money has come from people whose returns were consid- ered by the income tax authorities to be unsatisfactory. Careful inquiries, often covering a considerable period and entailing long journeys, led to the discovery In many cases that payment had been evaded for a number of years. Each case of tax dodging, when proved, was referred to the higher authorities at Somerset House for final judgment, In cases wiere fraud had been particularly flagrant summonses were issued. The majority of the tax dodgers rounded wp by the "Sherlock Holmes" of Somerset House agreed to pay the treble duty delmanded by the Revenue Authoris es. Tax dodgers run to earth by Somerset House during the past year comprise men and women in all classes of the community, Some of the individual amounts collected ran into hundreds of pounds, The ramifications of the Special Investigation Committee have dis- closed a great number of doubtful cases, The authorities belleve that immense sums are lost to the Ex- chequer every year by subtle meth- ods, which in some cases are cx- tremely difficult to detect, Hundreds of people have been surprised to find themselves sud- denly confronted with demands to give particulars of amounts receiv- ed from investmentd extending over a period of years, The next few weeks will find Somerset House working at high pressure to collect all overdue in- comb tax in readiness for the final assessment for the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the night of March 31, when the financial year comes to an end, Final demand notices hav: heen sent out by the thousand by every post during the past few weeks, MEDICAL science has put its seal of approval on Canned Tomatoes for young and old, and recommends their daily use.
