w nat beautiful ana wonderful
country Canada is" writes Mrs. Louis
/ A. Kemp, formerly Miss Belle Ansley,
Of Americas, who is touring the Do
minion on a visit of some time. eve
have Just left Toronto, with its mag
Tfificent residences, ITS numberlesa
factories, with the wheels buzzing
and turning over every minute of the
day, radiating prosperity with every
revolution 1t is worth while to
stand on the busy street corners and
watch the eager workmen as they
pass along the way, happiness beam
ing from their faces, and wit, a
stride which indicates q pleasure in
their work The children, too, go
about the highways with their little
! baskets filled with fruits and flowers
which they offer for ready sale to
/ the visitors within the city gates.
Money seems ABUNDANT, and con-
tentment reigns supreme.
Guelph, the birthplace and, boy
hood home of Mr. Kemp was among
the stops which were made, and the
hospitality dispensed reminded me
more of the true Southern congenial-
itv than anything have seen on my
trip" she continues. Everyone
seemed determined to Guido the other
! in the effort to make us happy and
our stay a delightful one His old
| friends and schoolmates gathered
about the verandah in the daylight
hours, and in the coy reading rooms
at evening, and good cheer was para
mount everywhere. And the best
things to eat! Every housewife is a
splendid cook, doing her own work
about the home, and the homes are
as clean as can be. 1t is delight to
be among people who take such
great civic pride in their homes, for,
they say, through the identifying of
their homes, is the city made beauti-
| full.
"From Toronto our course directed
us to Montreal, which, if possible, is
more beautiful than Toronto. The
people seemed to take special de-
| light in exhibiting their splendid city
to tourists, and took us to many
places which otherwise we might not
| have discovered in the short time.
! One thing struck me as ludicrous, and
that was the daily use of the old
| French coach carriages which meet
trains and convey the passengers to
| their destinations. OF course, there
| were many automobiles, but the
coaches and carriages were there in
full force, and people seemed to en-
| Joy the slow riding which they afford.
ed. Every coach was filled with
laughing people, as they went about
| the streets of the city to view the
splendid sights.
another thing, also, which amaz-
ed me, coming from strictly prohi-
bition country. Every hotel has its
| bar, where people go to get their
wines or their harder drinks as they
prefer. And yet / saw very little
| drunkenness Withal.
"Of course, we went by Niagara
Falls, and saw the grandest of all
natural sights. From there we went
| by boat to Canada, which proved a
| delightful experience to me, because
| Ill our travels up to Niagara had been
! bv the hot and dusty trains. Eight
| delightful miles were travelled on the
| Niagara river, and the remainder of
the way on beautiful Lake Ontario.
We reached Montreal by the st. Law
renee river. | wish / could tell just
how beautiful this historic river is,
| but it has to be seen in all its varying
| tints to be fully appreciated. Words
| cannot describe its wOndrOus lights
and shadows as seen by sunlight and
again by moonlight.
