Sugar Bush Becomes Center
Of Gay Canadian Parties

MONTREAL. April 13.-Warm
sun and melting SHOWS are marking
the arrival Of spring around Cam
adas metropolis these days and
with the coming Of "printemps." a.
the rench-Canadian calls it, the
colorful cid "sugaring OF" parties
have returned in full bloom.
For in the springtime this part
Of French Canada turns its mind to
the out Of doors and social activi-
ties for the most part center around
the busy maple-sugar bush. "sus-
airing Oh" parties, French Canadian
affairs. are pleasantly vague in
their mode of operation. All that
sne requires is plenty Of people and,
Of course, a sugar bush, with pos
sibly the addition OF an old-time
fiddler who can master "Allouette, y
"Vive La Canadienne" and one or
two other folk songs of New France.
The party then repairs to the

sugar. Entertainment on such Q
party, with the possible exception Of
q fiddler or two, Is entirely SELF
made and refreshments consist Of
. hearty outdoor meal with q
backwoods dish like baked beans
and bacon usually predominant on
the menu.
During the course of the party q
patch is cleared on the snow, the
old surface being removed to leave
the clean under snow showing and
onto this Is poured the boiling sirup.
The cold chills 1t rapidly into sweet,
sticky maply ta11y, which can only
be enjoyed by this procedure.
So popular has the maple sugar
season become that railroads run
special "sugaring party" trains to
the maple groves near Montreal
and Quebec.
Plans are under way to have an
800-tree maple bush planted on top
Of Mount Royal, in the very heart
Of Montreal, 50 that visitors to the
city might enjoy sugaring-o par
ties within easy reach of local ho-
te}s. The sugar bush on Mount
Royal would be part Of the projected
plans for the tercentary celebrations
planned In Montreal for 1912.
