Considerable com- plaint, as to be expected, was rais- ed against the limited seating, and many Parliamentary members, Government and Opposition, found it difficult to find accommodation, 80 early were the Chamber and gal- leries occupied by guests of the af- ternoon.

The yellow jasmine is covered with bloom, violas stand out boldly in sunny nooks, hyacinths and daffodils are heavy with buds, while nasturtium seeds have dared to" germinate and put out leaves as if in challenge to the Frost King. A new and fascinating feature of the capital city is the Crystal gardens, Situated just beyond the Empress hotel, they leave nothing to be desired in the way of winter attractions, The glass roof covers a swimming pool one hundred and fifty feet in length with a graduated depth from three to ten feet, The pool fills and drains constantly, sea water being pumped in and kept at an agreeable temperature, From the pool, rise tiers of seats on either side; and at the ends, on the main floor, are fine dance halls, Along the sides, tea tables with wicker chairs placed at tempting, angles, afford agreeable resting places, Here and there huge ferns and palms lend a tropical air, while smaller plants border the walls. Climbing vines grow in great profusion about .the steel pillars supporting the roof. Developing rapidly in the warm moist air, they pun toward the glass roof and trail their foliage over the water, The wistaria essays the climb, but the prolific coba vine flourishes and trails its trumpet like flowers from above vying in-green- ness with the waters of the pool. Canaries in gilded ages voice the comfort of the retreat. An occasional ental umbrella adds still more to the summer-like appearance of the place. In thé evening, with lights and crowds and music, with pévhaps a water féte being staged in the pool, no matter what blizzard sweeps the plains, here sum- mer reigns supreme!
