The Happy Men in Hospitality.

The Canadian, as any one will admit
who has been his guest, possesses In
an eminent and most enjoyable degree
the virtue of hospitality. In MIN are
happily blended the best characters
tics of the Englishman and the Ameri-
can. The Englishman, hearty as the
welcome which he extends to a guest.
still compasses his house and his heart
round about with barriers of reserve
and suspicion, which it is not always
easy TO %surnount, or to throw down.
The American on the other hand, for
all his prompt ~couroesies and willing
ness to oblige and to entertain, is
often apt to carry what we might call
the hotel and business atmosphere into
his acquaintanceships. He e~ntertains
royalty, but it often seems as if he
grudged the time and the personal at
tention which are requisite in order
that the guest may enjoy himself to
the utmost. The Canadian, as we
have already SAID, blends in a happy
measure the best traits of his British
%progenitor and his American neighbor.

his wish that government officials
should take no active part in political
