Then when the Day arrived it meant a hurried luncheon and bothersome worry about Day Liam make up for night attire. Today s opening meant Only the usual preparations for a drop in ten. Naturally there have been words of disappointment Over Cancella Tion of the governor general s drawing room customarily held the next night after the opening.

Wives of members of diplomatic Row the governor general s staff and the earliest parliamentary members wives to arrive gained places in the South gallery. The feminine foibles were not the Only colourful accents missing. With so Many men on Active ser vice duty the schedule called for Only half the usual double file of honorary aides de Camp to pre cede the governor general to his throne. Their glistening Gold braid and clanking swords gave Way to ser vice uniforms. So too with the Scarlet Robes of the supreme court judges on the soft red Wool Sac before the for Ordinary clothes. But the colourful chamber of m murals Canada s pictorial record of the first great out of place in peacetime took on special significance for this wartime ceremonial.
