For pleasure or\nfor business, or for a kindly combination\nof both, a visit to Eastern Canada and\nprincipal cities of the United States is in\nthese days immensely advantageous. The\nrecreational value of such a visit cannot be\nover-estimated. The sea trip of a week or\nless with only three and a half days in open\nwater, is splendidly invigorating. The\napproach to Canada by way of the smooth,\nsheltered St. Lawrence is delightful. Eastern Canada is so sunny and so interesting.\nCONVENIENT TRAVEL SYSTEM\nNo wonder ever-increasing numbers of\nthe enterprising and businesslike from Great\nBritain are visiting, and arranging to visit\nCanada, either independently or as members\nof the Canadian Pacific Personally Conducted\nparties which have been devised to give the\nmaximum enjoyment and Canadian travel-\nexperience for the most moderate outlay.\nQuite near to Britain, in Nova Scotia and\nNew Brunswick, there is one of the world's\nloveliest holiday lands. Halifax, a city of\nromantic history and great beauty, is at\nthe doorway to the Land of Evangeline.\nHere the summer climate is delightful, the\nscenes perfection. All summer's recreations\nare here, whether indoors or out\u00E2\u0080\u0094golf,\nbathing, sailing, fishing, dancing. So, too,\nwith Saint John, New Brunswick, and\nSt. Andrews-by-the-Sea.\nINFINITELY VARIED INTEREST AND ALL FACILITIES\nQueen of the romantic cities of Canada is Quebec, a city of delightful vistas. Ancient are\nthe picturesque churches, convents, fortifications, and narrow streets; modern is the mighty\nQuebec Bridge, which you may easily visit from Quebec. And there are the cities of Montreal\nand Ottawa to view; there is Toronto, with Niagara Falls just across the lovely Lake Ontario.\nRefreshing route changes are easy. Perhaps you want real good fishing in the veritable\nCanadian bush-country ? Then there is French River for you, with its chalet-bungalow camps, and\nthe true life of the wild wedded to the comforts of civilization. Or you may be anxious to pay a\nvisit to the United States, to Chicago, Detroit, New York, Boston. These fine cities also are\nincluded in the Canadian Pacific series of Personally Conducted Tours to Canada and the U.S.A.\nOr if you prefer it you may make an independent tour under Canadian Pacific auspices, seeing\nexactly what you wish to see, and staying just where you wish to stay for as long as may suit you.\nWhether it be a complete Across Canada Tour, an independent visit, or a Personally Conducted\nTour of longer or shorter duration, The Canadian Pacific can arrange it for you.\n7^U rtsuJc^ Afr* '<*&,. /f\nillll\nOutward Bound/\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Duchess \" liner\n(20,000 tons)\nDANCING wavelets chattering merrily\nat the landing stage, and the Canadian\nPacific \" Duchess \" liner flying the \" Blue\nPeter \" and flourishing a festive plume of\nsteam in her eagerness to be off\u00E2\u0080\u0094that is\nthe stage-setting for the ocean send-off\nyou will experience on this wonderful\nEmpire-greeting Tour to Eastern Canada.\nDo you know what an Atlantic trip on\na \" Duchess\" liner can be ? An experience that tingles in the memory like\na wonderful wine. Everything about you\nawake to the wonder of the sea : everything eager on the alert: everything joyful\non the jump ! Here aboard a well-found\nship that is luxurious as an Eastern\npalace in style and service, you shake\noff longshore worries like a winter\ngarment, and breathe in new freedom,\nnew joy, new interest, new zest. Twenty\nthousand tons of sheer comfort\u00E2\u0080\u0094that's\nthe \" Duchess \" liner\u00E2\u0080\u0094and at your disposal\nabsolutely.\nBritish built, and an oil-burner, getting\nyou across the Atlantic in seven days, your\n\" Duchess \" liner has bright airy cabins,\nabundance of promenade space, delightful\ndining and smoking rooms, and lounge\nluxury that would incline to the indolence\nof utter satisfaction, were it not for that\nappetizing ocean air and the stimulation of\nthis invigorating voyage. And there is\nalways plenty of fun on board\u00E2\u0080\u0094deck sports,\nconcerts and dances attend to that!\nFive days out from port, the ship glides\nfrom the open sea into the noble St. Lawrence Seaway. Those soft blue outlines\nahead are Canada, and as you draw steadily\nnearer to them, many a marvel of magic\ncolouring is revealed. At Sea on a M Duchess \" liner. Above is seen the\nTourist Lounge. Down the side an impromptu dance\nand the Dining Room\nYour Shi p I\nH'\nTERE the liner trip becomes more than ever an\nexcursion into realms of sheer delight. You\nhave made friends in the kindly congenial way of\nthe sea. The sunshine simply surprises you by\nits rich, beneficent rays. The lovely, smooth St.\nLawrence, growing in interest at every turn of\nthe propellers, invites you to linger often on\ndeck watching the New World blossom into reality\nbefore your eyes. Other vessels appear, to meet and greet your liner's arrival. There\nare the great ones going forth to cross the ocean you have just traversed; there are the\nlittle ones coming merrily down from Montreal or the riverports of the St. Lawrence. By\nthe St. Lawrence Short Seaway it is 515 miles nearer to Quebec from Britain than to New\nYork.\nPresently, skirting the wooded shores of the Isle of Orleans, we turn round\na bend and see before us the great cape on which stands the ancient city of Quebec. So\nthis is the Gateway to Canada, you say or simply feel, and that majestic impression of Quebec\nmay remain with you for many a day. Not even in the London of the sonnet can you see\nat one glance so much of \" Ships, towers, domes, theatres and temples \" as you can from\nyour liner at Quebec. For they are all here, and all near. That \" nearness \" to Canada is a\nnew experience worth having.\n3 iff!\n(Above) Chateau Frontenac\n(At side) A Caleche, an archaic vehicle\nthat visitors love\nOLD wine doesn't go with new bottles,\nso they say, but Old Quebec does go\nmost beautifully with New Canada. It is\na never-ending delight to discover the\nmellowing romance of that old-world haunt\nof history in its rich contrasts with all that\nis modern. Quaint old streets, very narrow\nand with venerable buildings at every turn,\nfascinate the eye and the imagination.\nHouses that may have heard the footsteps\nof Lord Nelson, when he came to Quebec\nas a very young naval officer, lean over a\nlittle wearily, as it may seem. The actual\nhouse to which was brought the dead\nGeneral Montcalm after the battle on the\nHeights of Abraham may be visited.\nHere is a convent as secluded as in the\nMiddle Ages : there a monastery : over there\na battery of antiquated cannon. And above\nall towers the Chateau Frontenac, modern\nin every detail of hotel service or equipment, yet wedded to the romantic charm of\nAncient Quebec by the subtle skill of clever\narchitecture. Almost might you expect\nthe clarion call of a herald to announce\nyour party as you enter the great arched\nportals. Above might well be men-at-arms\nlining the battlements. Within, though in\nthe midst of the acme of modern hotel\nequipment, you might almost find yourself\nordering a tankard with \" Ho, Varlet ! A\nFlagon of Sack.\"\nWhile at Quebec time should be allowed\nfor visits to Montmorency Falls, 185 feet in\nheight, Kent House, at one time the summer residence of H.R.H. the Duke of Kent,\nand Ste Anne de Beaupre, containing the\nshrine of the mother of the Blessed Virgin. These pictures illustrate the\ncomfort of the train journey\nacross Canada. They show a\nCanadian Pacific Dining Car\u00E2\u0080\u0094the\nLounge Car attached to transcontinental trains\u00E2\u0080\u0094a Drawing-\nRoom in a Sleeping-Car, and {lower\npicture) a Standard Sleeping-Car\nA STANDARD Sleeper consists of so many sections\nper car\u00E2\u0080\u0094varying according to type. Each section\nconsists of two comfortable seats, facing each other.\nThe aisle runs down the centre of the car.\nAt night the porter in charge of the car converts this\ninto sleeping space by sliding together the seats to make\nthe lower berth, letting down the upper berth, inserting\nthe headboards between each section, adjusting the coat-\nhangers and clothes nets, and making up with bedclothes. In front of each section is hung a heavy curtain,\nwith a thin inner one if desired, and this ensures\ncomplete privacy. A small ladder is used to gain access\nto the upper berth. Both upper and lower berths have\nreading lights.\nA Compartment is exactly the same as a section, except\nthat it is a private room entered from the corridor by\na door. It also contains wash-basin, etc.\nA Drawing-room is exactly the same as a compartment, but also has a sofa berth and a private lavatory.\n5 The Beach at St. Andrews\n(At side) Algonquin Hotel\nINTRODUCING St. Andrews-by-the-\nSea is like extolling to an audience a\nworld-famous person. The smiling little\ntown slips down between the St. Croix\nRiver and Passamaquoddy Bay, a stone's\nthrow from the coast of Maine. It is also\na widely-recognized social centre, and the\nhotel is patronized every summer by leading society people from all over Canada\nand the United States, many of whom\nhave their own palatial cottages. The\nAlgonquin Hotel commands a glorious\nview of the bay that washes St. Andrews\non three sides.\nTennis courts, bowling greens and putting greens are kept in perfect condition.\nBathing? Of course ! The repentant\nghost of Katie Mcintosh calls you to her\ncove. To obviate tidal variation, a dam\nhas been constructed and this ensures a\nsafe and even water-level. Golf is,\nperhaps, the most popular diversion, and\nwith reason, for St. Andrews has probably\nthe finest seaside golf course in Canada.\nSaint John is the largest city in the province of New Brunswick and is also the\noldest incorporated town in British North\nAmerica, being founded by de Monts as\n\"Arcadia\" in 1604. Of its harbour\nfacilities it is justifiably proud. It has one\nof the largest dry docks in the world,\n1,150 feet long, and has a large trade with\nthe West Indies and Europe. Amongst\nitems of interest should be mentioned\nthe Reversing Falls, Cobbett's Well, the\nMartello Tower, and Rockwood Park. 1\n1\nK.\nWrS^I\nfltl\n* II\n1 If ::l\"\npp.\ni:\n1 U |||\n#, ||\n6 4j\n1 \" 1 '\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nThe New Pines Hotel, Digby\n(At side) Bullock transport in Halifax\n\"v-Ki<4---^>\n\u00C2\u00AB*\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nTHE Province of Nova Scotia is one\nof the finest playgrounds in North\nAmerica. Its peerless summer climate,\nits historical background, its unspoiled\nscenic loveliness, the diversity of its\nattractions and the comfort and inexpensive-\nness of its many resorts make holidaying\nthere a delightful experience that will be\neagerly repeated.\nArrived at Halifax, even the short drive\nfrom station to hotel will impress you with\nthe picturesque harmony of ancient and\nmodern buildings. The Citadel, the only\none of Halifax's many forts open to visitors,\nrises 271 feet above the town and overlooks\none of the finest harbours in the world.\nBetween Halifax and Digby is situated the\nwell-known \" Evangeline \" country, scene\nof the dramatic story immortalized by\nLongfellow.\nThe New Pines Hotel, Digby, is Nova\nScotia's premier summer resort. Swimming,\ntennis, golf, bowling alleys and billiard-\nroom are among the many attractions.\nWithin easy reach of Digby is Annapolis\nRoyal, established in 1605, and its old\nfort constructed at that time is still in a\nvery good state of preservation. Other\npopular trips are those to Bear River and\nSmith's Cove.\nYarmouth, at Nova Scotia's south-west\ncorner, lies 240 statute miles from Boston,\nwhich is the usual starting point for tourists\nfrom the Eastern United States. It is a\nbusy clearing-station for both passengers\nand freight. Otta\nParliament Buildings and\nBig Ben of Canada\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nOTTAWA, the capital of the Dominion of\nCanada, stands on a high bluff looking\nacross the river to the Laurentian Mountains, its site characterized by a grandeur\nappropriate to its national significance.\nHere is the meeting place of the Senate and\nHouse of Commons, the residence of the\nGovernor-General, and headquarters of the\nvarious administrative departments of the\nGovernment. The Parliament Buildings,\nlargely reconstructed after a disastrous fire\nthat destroyed them during the war, are a\nstately Gothic pile; from the centre rises\nthe beautiful Peace Tower, containing the\nworld's largest carillon of bells.\nThere are many other government buildings in Ottawa worth seeing, such as the\nRoyal Mint, the National Gallery, and the\nVictoria Museum. In the Lower Town is\nconcentrated an enormous pulp and paper\nindustry. The city is circled by miles and\nmiles of charming boulevards and driveways, with many parks.\nOttawa itself is a comparatively new city,\nhaving had but little fame until Queen\nVictoria, in the early sixties, chose it as a\nkind of \" compromise candidate \" to avoid\nthe clash between rival claims of the\nprovinces of Lower and Upper Canada.\nQuite close to Ottawa is one of the\ngreatest playgrounds both in winter and\nsummer\u00E2\u0080\u0094the Gatineau Valley. Here are\nsplendid fishing and hunting facilities, and\nthe scenery rivals that of Switzerland,\nwhilst the valley is a paradise for those\nseeking recreation and amusement.\n8 \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nMain Cabin,\nChilet-Bungaiow Camp\nFrench River\nj\nFRENCH River is in the heart of the\nprimitive backwoods country, and\naffords English visitors a chance they\nmight not otherwise get of seeing a little\nof what bush life is like. Perched on a cliff\noverlooking a broad river that sweeps down\nbetween grey-blue rocky walls is a group of\nchalet-bungalow cottages. The group of\ncottages is the famous French River Chalet-\nBungalow Camp, situated within 200 yards\nof the station, the camp commands a\nmagnificent view of the main channel of\nthe French River.\nFor the benefit of those who do not know\nwhat a Chalet-Bungalow camp is, let us say\nthat it has nothing at all to do with tents.\nOn the contrary, it is like living in one's\nprivate house, without the bother of meals\nor servants. Each little bungalow is self-\ncontained and cosily furnished; some have\ntwo rooms, some one. Porches and deep\nwicker chairs make it easy for you to live\nthe verandah life; illumination is electric\nlight, not candles, and maid service relieves\nyou of all work.\nWhen the bell rings for meals, you seek\nthe club-house with its spacious dining and\nrecreation rooms. Afterwards writing-\ndesks tempt the energetic, while the comfortable wicker chairs about the great stone\nfireplace of the lounge-room satisfy all\nlongings. From the verandah little winding\npaths lead away to the bungalows, to the\ndock, to the station, and to the tennis court.\nIn the evening, the recreation room is in\npopular demand for dancing.

FISHING and golf are the major activities at the Camp\u00E2\u0080\u0094and such fishing and\nsuch golf! Fishing ? The vicinity of the\ncamp is an angler's paradise. In eddy and\nbackwater, among the sedges skirting the\nshore, in the shadow of huge boulders\nthat block the channel, lurk wily old\n\" muskies,\" great northern pike, large\nand small-mouthed bass, pickerel, and other\ngame-fish, worthy foe for any angler.\nAnd as for golf. You don't take a car.\nIf you are energetic, you pack your clubs\nin a canoe; if you are not, you take an outboard motor-boat or the camp launch and\ngo ashore at the first tee. And if you are\nneither a fisherman nor a golfer; if you\nneither canoe nor swim nor play tennis,\nthere is the quiet and rest of Nature to\nbanish the cares of city life.\nThe camp has a float, diving-board and\nbath-houses. At the foot of the links is a\nbeautiful sandy bathing beach. Amongst\nthe woods are some delightful walks, while\na variety of short canoe trips can be made,\nand launch trips are arranged daily.\nThe guides who work for the camp are\ncarefully selected, and for the most part are\nIndians, Ojibway and Nipissing, from the\nPickerel Reserve. They are of particularly\nfine type, and upon a reasonable interest\nand knowledge of wild life being shown,\nwill lose the taciturnity which is an Indian\ncharacteristic, and speak fluently and eagerly\nof the life they know so well.\n12 PP y0PmPm:PP'sy\nGeneral view of Toronto\n(At side) The Provincial Parliament\nBuildings\nToronto\nTHEY call Toronto \"The Queen\nCity,\" and she is enthroned in the\nhearts of her citizens. Her arms embrace a\nbeautiful curve of Lake Ontario, and she\nwears her Island Park like a jewel on her\nbosom. Others of her jewels are superb\nbuildings, supreme among which is the\nRoyal York Hotel, largest hotel in the\nBritish Empire, well known as the social\ncentre of one of the friendliest cities in the\nworld to its visitors.\nFrom the high tower of the Royal York\nall the wide panorama of Toronto may be\nviewed, revealing a vast extent of residential\nand of industrial areas, and a down-town\nsection distinguished by roomy streets and\nsplendid modern structures. An extensive\narea for industrial uses, reclaimed from the\nLake, is rapidly building up. The National\nExhibition Grounds cover 350 acres with\npermanent buildings, and each year over\ntwo million visitors enjoy the Exhibition.\nThe Amusement Park entertains its thousands every day, with every device in\nmodern gaiety creation, and a perfect\nswimming and bathing equipment.\nToronto is an educational and publishing\ncentre, and her University\u00E2\u0080\u0094with Hart\nHouse, a very nerve centre of culture\u00E2\u0080\u0094her\nArt Galleries, Museums and Libraries give\nlight and leading far and wide in Canada.\nNotable churches also, she has, fine\ngolf courses and race tracks, baseball\ngrounds and ice rinks.\n13 TO leave Toronto by Lake Steamer for\nNiagara is to gain a fine and characteristic view of the \" Queen City's \" boldly\nserrated sky-line. This, and a peep at the\nIsland Park pleasure haunt which lies like\na water-side holiday centre within twenty\nminutes of the city's business hub, add local\ninterest for the visitor to Toronto en route\nfor Eastern Canada's world-recognized\nshow-piece, Niagara Falls.\nAfter the wide Lake, and the deep placid\nchannel of thefNiagara River at Queenston,\nthe terrific turbulence of the rapids in the\nGorge, and the sinister-seeming swirl of\nthe Whirlpool, gradually prepare the visitor\nfor the stupendous vision of the Falls\nthemselves. No two people ever see\nNiagara exactly alike : no one can express\nin words the impression experienced. Some\nsee only the sublimity of the tremendous\ncataract: some dwell on the reckless\nadventurousness that would drift over the\nbrink in a barrel; and some study the\ncommercial aspect of the Falls in power\ndevelopment.\nAt night the Falls are illuminated with\nmulti-coloured flood-lighting, million-candle\npower strong, made by their own force.\nThe sight is theatrical in effect, intensifying\nthe majesty of the scene in its natural\ngrandeur when the flood-lights fade. That\na phenomenon so little altered from its\nprimitive state should be so richly surrounded by the comforts and charms of\nmodern civilization is an aspect of interest;\nand the countryside about Niagara entertains its visitors with kindly vistas of town\nand village, as well as with historic scenes.\n14 a\nashfngton Boulevard\nfrom Michigan Avenue\nDetroit\nDETROIT is famed throughout the\nworld as the headquarters of the\nmotor trade in the United States, and it\nmight well be said that to a very great\nextent the city owes its rapid growth to this\nindustry. However, this has not spoilt the\naspect from a residential standpoint, as, with\nits unique park attractions, it is one of the\nmost beautiful American cities. Visitors\nmust not think that the industrial activity\nhas, in any way, detracted from the interest\nof the city from a holiday point of view,\nthe fact being that it has added to the\nmany and varied charms of Detroit and its\nenvirons.\nDetroit was founded in 1701 and is\nsituated between Lakes St. Clair and Erie;\nit has the Detroit River running within its\nboundaries for 11 miles, and the River\nRouge wends its way for a distance of\n5 miles. Visitors cannot fail to be interested\nin the large areas of native forest growth,\nthe many miles of lakes connected by canals,\nand the large zoological park and aquarium.\nSport has not been neglected; athletic\nfields, baseball grounds and golf courses\nare to be found at convenient points, whilst\nthere are free camps for the accommodation\nand enjoyment of those seeking relaxation\nfrom hotel life.\nDetroit possesses the distinctive feature\nof being "Advertisements"@en .
