waters.
There was time when the traV-
eler in Canada was fortunate to
find even the poor shelter of an
Indian wigman. Later log house
or fort stood for perfection in ac-
commodation. Today the Wayfarer
may pick and choose between tour
ist cabin and skyscraper hotel. He
might enjoy the novelty of a
Mic Mac lodge in New Brunswick,
but would certainly prefer the COM
fort and service of such hotels as
the Algonquin at st. Andrews, which
is situated on a promontory over
looking Passamaquoddy Bay, and in
Prince Edward Island the homelike
atmosphere and perfect cuisine of
the CharlottetoWn.
These hotels are out two of those
in the chains operated across Can
ada by the Canadian National and
Canadian Pacific Railways. Most
of the hotels mentioned in the fol-
lowing paragraphs are connected
with these system, but there are so
many other fine hotels that space
will not permit of listing them all.
In Montreal, for instance, there is
the Mount Royal, the Windsor, Ritz
Carlton, Queens, Ford, De La Sale
and others. In Toronto the Royal
York is operated by the c. P. R,
and the King Edward Ford Prince
George, alexandra Palace and a
dozen more could be mentioned for
their comfort and convenience.
Along the St. Lawrence at Pointe
au Pic Murray Bay is the chateau
like Manior RiCheleu In the Lau-
rentianS many resorts cater to a
winter clientele as we'll as a summer
one. The Grey Rocks Inn at st.
Jovlte, the Alpine Inn at Ste. Mar
guerlte, Chateau Cochand, Domaine
dEsterel and score of others are
typical.
Bungalow Camps Also
For Those Preferring Them.
If the vacationiSt is wandering
about lovely Nova Scotia and pic
tureSque Cape Breton, his Journeys
will more than likely take him to
Halifax, there to stay at the Nova
Scotlan or the Lord Nelson. If the
Annapolis Valley eXertS its charms
then at Kentville the CORVALLIS Inn
will shelter the traveller. At Pictou
the PictOu Lodge, at Digby the
Pines and at Yarmouth the Lake
side Inn represent the eastern YER
sion of those delightful lodges and
chaletS which are sprinkled through
the Rockies.
In Quebec City one cannot miss
the Chateau Frontenac of the C. |
P. r. chain any more than the trav-
eler in Ottawa could pass by with
out noting the turretS and towers of .
the Chateau Laurier, which is a
Canadian national hostelry. In OF |.
tawa, too, there is the Lord Elgin, /
now under construction.
Bungalow camps in Ontario are .
legion and of the railway operated .
ones there is the French River camp
near Georgian Bay, Minaki in the
Lake of the Woods country, and just
beyond, near Kenora, the popular
Devils Gap Lodge.
In Western Canada grain eleva-
tors are not the only tall structures
that break the skyline; there are
big hotels there, too. In Winnipeg
the Fort Garry and Royal AleXan-
ORA, in Brandon the Prince Edward,
in Saskatoon the Bessborough, in
Regina the Hotel Saskatchewan and
In Edmonton the Macdonald have a
friendly welcome for the traveller.
On the way to the Canadian
Rockies the vacatiOnist may stop
over at the PalIser in Calgary,
there to come to final decision as
to whether his choice of a noun
tain resort shall be Banff or Jasper.
Many Travellers solve the problem
by dividing their time between Jas
per Park Lodge and Banff Springs
Hotel, both of which are situated
in scenic national parks. +
Vancouver offers its visitors the .
comfort of the Hotel Vancouver,
while Victoria, not to be outdone p.
in hospitality, presents the Empress |
Hotel, where guests may pick flow
erS and play golf throughout the |
year.
All across Canada reels whirr, !
paddles dip. tennis balls zoom over |
nets and golf balls arc from perfect |
greens to not so perfect sand-traps |
BY train, by automobile, by steamer
and by airplane, the tourist trek to
Canada is gathering volume. Multi
form are the attractions of this
great playground country on which |
the summer sun now shines.
