A DAY IN QUEP.EC. 
 
 The tourist who has but one day to spare for Ci^ue})ec, 
 is naturally anxious to crowd into it as much as pos- 
 sible, and for him a rather arduous programme may be 
 j)repared. 
 
 The Citadel is always the first " point of interest," 
 and to save time it is well to drive there, securing a 
 carriai^o whose driver can tjilk f^nirlish. 
 
 The road up to the Citadel is somewliat like a maze, 
 and you are driven througli a chain gate that is worthy 
 of notice, ])ut at the inner gates a sentry l)ars the way, 
 and to proceed further, you must go on foot. You are 
 given in charge to a soldier who makes it his business 
 to tell the weiglit of the different guns, to call your 
 attention to the one cai)tured at Bunker Hil), to 
 inform you concerning the nature of the different 
 buildings within the enclosure, and finally, to lead you 
 to the King's Bastion, the liighest part of the Citadel, 
 from which a gun is fired at noon and at half past nine 
 4it uioht. 
 
 The view from that point is said to be unequalled in 
 America. Where else can one see such a panorama ? 
 the wide stretch of harbor with the mountains beyond, 
 the scattered white villages of the St. Charles valley, 
 and nearer still the tin-roofed houses of Quebec itself, 
 packed tightly together upon tlie steep slope, as if for 
 mutual support. 
 
 But if you have only one day to stay, you must not 
 lingei- long over that lovely prospect. You must be 
 content with a distant view of the long drawn out 
 village of Beauport leading to the falls of Montmorenci, 
 with but a field-glass inspection of the church at Ste. 
 Anne de Beaupie, and quickly return to the Citadel 
 gates where your driver, or " carter " as he is called 
 
»> 
 
 here, awaits you. DriviiiL,' down Citadel liill ho may 
 sii^j^c'St that you ah"uht anil walk nlong the rampart. s 
 for a slntrt distauce, joitiin^ liiin lower down at St. 
 Louis (late. 
 
 By so doiujj; you will have another ningnilicent view 
 of river, mountain and ]>lain, which never look <|uite 
 the same when se(Mi fromdilVerent points. You cannot 
 avoid noticiiiLf liow close upon the street all the houses 
 within the walls are huilt, how each has its douhle door, 
 and is clup-lxiarded over the stone or brick u])on the 
 side next the east wind, which is ramjtant heio in 
 winter. 
 
 Throu<;h St. Louis CJate you drive, past the <,'randly 
 situated new Tarliament Jiuildings on the ri«ht, and 
 (u the left the Skating IJiiik and Drill Ilall. lu front 
 of the latter is the Short-Wallack Alonument, which 
 commemorates the fact of these two gallant soldiers 
 losing' their lives when rendering assistance at one of 
 Quebec's many large tires. 
 
 So on^ut the Clrande Alice to the toll-gate where 
 your driver will mak(^ a detour to the Plains of 
 Abraham to show you the spot, upon which is erected 
 a monument with the inscription : 
 
 " HERE DIED WOI-FE VKTOinoUS, SEIT. 18Tir, 1759. " 
 
 If you are of an imaginative turn of mind you can till 
 in all the details of that biief, brilliant battle that 
 changed the destiny of North America. 
 
 A mile or so further out the road, if time permits, 
 you can be driven into the grounds of Spencer Wood, 
 the residence of the Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec, 
 beautifully situated on the bank of the St. Lawrence, 
 and if you choose to walk over to the edge of the cliff 
 you can see the ravine up which Wolfe brought his 
 men to take Quebec. 
 
 Time tlies, and you must hasten back to town, 
 crossing from the St. Louis to the Ste. Foye Head by 
 
 |i 
 
 1^ 
 
 ■s-.r--aa«»-'.;f^.'

 . 
 
 the winding', trL't-bordt'ied lielvrdeiv. Diivint,' in the 
 Ste. Foye Koiid one jijets to know by sight iit least, th;3 
 Ini'ge suburhs of St. Ifoch's and St. Sauveur, with their 
 s])uciou.s ehiii'che.s, and tlien; is always the lovely 
 mountain tV.iine npou the horizon. TheR* is an in- 
 terestin«^^ ninninnent upon this road erected to (Jenerals 
 Levis and Murray, in memory of the aLtem[)t by the 
 French to re-take (Jjuebec in 1700. 
 
 It is time for lunch when you get to townag.iin nnd 
 afterwards you will stroll into th«' venerable l>asilica, 
 or j)er(^hanee into Kenfrew's large fur store opposite, 
 which is known as oiui of the sights of (^ueb^c. This 
 tirm buys its pelts direct from tlw Indians, and the 
 employees can tell many stories of the customs of that 
 primitive peo])le, who have become almost extinct in 
 Eastern America. 
 
 Take a promenade on the DulVerin Terrace over- 
 looking the river, siud l»ranch off into the CJovernor's 
 Gardens wlieie is the joint monument to Wolfe and 
 Montcalm. The elevator at the end of the Terrace will 
 shoiten your descent to Lower Town and will land you 
 in Little Champlain Street, that narrow, phmked alley 
 with high roofed houses on either side. Still more 
 (jiiaint is Sous le Cap, which can )>e reached by taking 
 the turn into Sault au Matelot Street, from Alountain 
 Hill. You can drive through this street ])rovided there 
 is a guarantee that you meet no other vehicle. There 
 are the same high, French roofs with j.eaked windows 
 in them, and here and there a [U'op reaching across the 
 way, frail enough sujiports, if t\\^ sturdy clitf which 
 protrutles itself at intervals should take it into its head 
 to advance further. 
 
 The Lower Town is the point of departure either by 
 boat or train, and even if you have seen all that c m be 
 seen in one day, you will go away with a firm belief 
 in the delightfulness of what you have not seen, and 
 with an equally firm determination to come again. 
 
TWO DAYS IN QI^KnEC. 
 
 II 
 
 If you have two days to span' for Quebec, you will 
 arrange the prograiiiiiie of the first u little diilerently. 
 On your luorniug drive you need not cros? from St. 
 liOuis to Ste. Koye lioad by the llelvedere, l)ut can 
 continue out the former to the crossing which takes 
 you round by the village of Ste. Foye, whose huge 
 church is a striking mnrk on the hillside as seen from 
 many miles to tin* noith jind cast. In this way you 
 will pass the two principal cemeteries of (^)uebec, notable 
 for the beauty of their situation, on the high bank over- 
 looking the St. Lawrence, will drive through the 
 picturesijue handet of liergerville, and have passing 
 glimpses of the many tine residences on the St. Louis 
 Jload, whose extensive, well-kept grounds, remind one 
 of English country seats. U])on the cross road leading 
 through Ste. Foye, there is a considerable rise in the 
 ground which enables one to get an extra jnH'p, to stand 
 on tip-toe, as it were, and thereby to see more of the 
 wide i)anorama of river, mountain and valley, than has 
 been possible all along. Driving in by the Ste. Foye 
 Road, one who is interested in churches, may take time 
 to alight at the imposing structure of St. Jean Baptiste 
 in St. John Street, which is next to the Basilica in 
 importance among the French churches of the city. 
 
 With a second day in view, the traveller may well 
 leave over his visit to Sous-le-Cap and Little Cham- 
 plain Street, and also his inspection of the furs in G. 
 It. Renfrew & Go's until the afternoon of the second 
 day, and on his first afternoon spend more time in the 
 Basilica, where the pictures are worthy of attention. 
 Some of them were sold for a song in France at the 
 
5 — 
 
 i 
 
 tiiiiu of the Pt'volutioii iiinl arc Siii«l t<» 1»l! j^LMiuine 
 works of i^'i'eat inask-rs. He may ulso visit the St- 
 iiiiiiaiy Chapel and have an liour or so for Laval Uni- 
 versity where tliere is a museum and i)ictur(* <;!dlery, 
 the hitter partieuhirly interesting. These iire open to 
 the public free on Tliursday afteruoonj, and on other 
 days by payment of a small charge. 
 
 If the weather he tine, the morning of the second 
 day cannot be better spent tliin in taking the walk all 
 round the ramparts. Thi«< is e* uugh for a whole fore- 
 noon, because, though not a long distanc', it is a some- 
 what fatiguing ramble, mj nd down ".nil ; and in pIat(!S 
 it becomes a scrandde, ovev ' its of wall and across 
 cannon ditches wliere the \(3ry iiarndess-looking old 
 guns so ])eacefully repose. \ ou want plenty of time 
 too, to allow of a seat here and theie to enjoy the 
 lights and shadows on the distant hills view(;d from 
 different points. The mountains have a kaleidoseopii; 
 habit of sliding behind one another, of jo.stling each 
 other to peer over <'ach other's shoulders and many 
 other little tricks which njuder them fascinating in the 
 extreme. 
 
 There are none of the original gates of the city left 
 standing, and those on Palace, Hope and Mountain 
 Hills, have never been restored ; but the present three 
 — St. John's, St. Louis and Kent Gates, are pictures<iue 
 in themselves, if somewhat out of keeping with the 
 old grass-grown walls, and from the top of each, oik^ 
 gets charming views of the oddly planned streets of the 
 Upper Town. 
 
 The walk on the ram})arts will include the Grand 
 Battery and will wind up with a turn on the Terrace, 
 and a longer rest in the sheltered Governor's Gardens 
 than was possible in the sojourn of a day. On many 
 evenings in the summer the band from the Citadel or 
 from a visiting "man-of-war" plays upon the Terrace 
 to the delight of thousands of promenaders. 
 
THIfKE DAYS IX QUEI5EC. 
 
 On the third day, tlio toinist tVi-ls inclined to sinvad 
 his wings a little, and it will he (|i;ite in order to sprnd 
 the forenoon in visiting the I'mi .iis shrine of Ste. Anne 
 de Beanpi-e. There is a tram Ity the (^UilK'Ct^ Charle- 
 voix li'ailway, which gives one a pleasant ride along 
 the shore of the Sr. Lawrence helow tiie cliff. On one 
 side is the river, while npon the other is the string 
 of white- washed cottages dotting the slope the whole 
 way to Ste. Anne. From the train there is also a 
 charming view of the Falls of Montmorenci, nnd look- 
 ing np at them, one can realize their great height which 
 is said to he one hundred feet more than that of 
 Niagara. Ste. Anne is reached in about an hour, and 
 the church is within ji few yards of the station. 
 One hour is allowed there, ]'lenty of time to see the 
 •sacred relics, the pilgrims who come to be cured by 
 them, the pyramids of crutches, etc., left l)y the cured, 
 the old original chapel of Ste. Anne, and tne Scala 
 Sancta which the faithful ascend npon their knees. 
 
 lieturning to town, the afternoon may well be spent 
 in taking a drive through Chaniplain. street, and on by 
 the lower road out to Sillery, or farther still to Cap 
 liouge, and back by the St. Louis Koad, allowing time 
 to drive through the beautiful Mount Hermon Cem- 
 etery on the way home. On the way out, in Champlain 
 street, one is driven over a considerable rise in the 
 ground made by the fatal landslide of 1889, and look- 
 ing up, can see where the great slice was taken off the 
 
{ 
 
 ^7- 
 
 cliff at that time. Driving along under the clill tlie 
 information is thrust upon the least observant that 
 
 "HKIJK MONTCO.MKIIV FEU,." 
 
 This is the only mark left of the i^merican attack 
 iipon Quebec, excei)t a notice in the wall of a house on 
 St. Louis Street to the effect that it has been built upon 
 the site of the small dwelling, into which the body of 
 the American general was carried after liis fall. 
 
 Sillery and Cnp Kouge ave both interesting fi'om a 
 historical point of view, to which any reader of Parkman 
 ca'i testif3% but were it not so, the drive to th-se jjoints 
 is one of the most beautiful around Quebec, which is 
 .saying a great deal.

 FOUE DAYS IN UUEBEC. 
 
 On the foiirlh day yon will be nnable longer to refrain 
 from taking a trip to that fair Isle of Orleans, which 
 has smiled u\) at you from so many dilferent points. 
 If you can spare the whole day for it, so much the 
 better, for then you will have time to visit Maranda's 
 Cave, an ideal picnic s])0t upon the South shore ; and 
 you can return to town in the evening when the sunset 
 tolors on mouLtains and river are things to dreatn of, 
 and the old city itself, looming up through the mists, 
 appears to be enveloped in the ghosts of her jiast. At 
 anv time of the dav, Quebec from the Island boat is a 
 ' sight not to be missed, showing as it does the com- 
 manding position held by the old town at the gateway 
 of the St. LaM'rence. 
 
 If the fouith be your last day in Quebec, the Island 
 must not al)S0]b the whole of it, but half a loaf is better 
 than no bread, and an afternoon spent there will leave 
 the lorenoon free for the inspection of more of the old 
 historic buildings of which (Quebec is full. The quaint 
 little edifice No ob St. Louis Street, now a barber's shop 
 was once Montcalm's head quarteis, and a little farther 
 out St. Louis Street, Camiibell's livery stable marks 
 the site of the doctor's ollice to which Montcalm was 
 carried only to die. His remains were afterwards 
 interred in the Chapel of the Uisuline Convent in 
 Tarloir Street direjtiy opposite. The brave soldier's 
 sepulchre was a hole in the rock, made by the bursting 
 of a shell.

 The Ursuline Chapel is opened to visitors on appli- 
 cation to tlie portier and contains some inteiesiin<4 
 relics. At one *side of the altar is the grating behind 
 which the cloistered nuns sit, to listen to the service. 
 
 No. 59 Louis Street is the house which the wicked 
 Intendant liigot gave to the unscrupulous Madame 
 Pean, and wliich in tliose days was considered a palace. 
 Any one interested in the footprints of the past, will 
 be certain to have his attention directed to the " Chien 
 (rOr"in the eastern wall of the Post Oftice, which 
 keeps green the memory of the sturdy merchant foe of 
 that same wicked Intendant. 
 
 Tliere are two squares of great interest in the Upper 
 Town, that opposite tlie Basilica being the site of the 
 old market place — while upon the adjoining ground 
 stood the old Jesuit College. 
 
 The " Ring " as the Place d'Armes is familiarly called 
 was the court vard of the old, origiual fortress of 
 Quebec, the Chateau of St. Louis, u])on the site of 
 which has been erected the grand Chateau Frontenac 
 Hotel. The splendid accommodation now provided for 
 tourists will make Quebec even more popular than it 
 has been in days of yore. There is something for every 
 one in this old town, historical ground for the antiqua- 
 rian, ample scope for the student of languages, charUi- 
 ing walks for the botanist and geologist, endless sub- 
 jects for artists, both literary and otherwise, and last 
 but not least, an opportunity unequalled in Canada for 
 the purchase of furs, at tiie warehouse of G. K. Kenfrew 
 & Company.

FIVE DAYS IN QUEBEC. 
 
 V 
 
 The fortunate possessor of five days in Quebec will 
 undoubtedly devote a wliole ojie to tlie Falls of Mont- 
 morenci, drivinij tliere tlirouuh th:; straij^lin^ villa<:e«tf 
 Beau port. 
 
 It is a hilly road, hut the Canadian liorse lays back 
 his ears, uiakes a dash at every hill, and trots up and 
 down with no semblance of a brake on the wlieels l)ehind. 
 If you have chosen a coupe, a vehicle of wliich the cover 
 can be thrown back, you will thoroughly enjoy the 
 study in houses afforded by the Canadian dwellings, 
 each with its steep roof from which ])ioject one or more 
 tiers of windows. Every house juts out a iittle beyond 
 its neighbor in its desire to dod»'e tlte east winil. To 
 your surprise you are told that this long street reaching 
 to the Falls, is inhabited mostly by farmers, who have 
 built their houses close together for warmth and con- 
 venience in winter time, when only one road is passable. 
 The farms extend in long, narrow strips behind the 
 houses, sometimes stretching far back into the country. 
 
 The Falls themselves you have already seen from 
 the train going to Ste. Anne, but you will 1)3 utilike 
 most people if you do not rejoice at the prospect of a 
 nearer view, and descend the long flight of steps to be 
 wet by the spray, and become more in sympathy with ' 
 these pine woods and this tumbling mass of water. 
 The surroundings of the Falls are all beautiful, but 
 unless you insist on your driver taking you there, he 
 will probably never mention the natural steps, which 
 
 f

 stand in tlie same relation to Montniorenci as tlio 
 Eapids do to Niagara. The vigorous river is seen eut- 
 ting its way throngli the dee}), rocky gorge in its impa- 
 tience to hurl itself over the cliff', and the terraces so 
 formed in the rocks ou either side are the natural 
 steps, which you must not ftiil to see. It is a charm- 
 ing spot with its own historical associations — like 
 every otlier jdace about Quebec ; and if you wi.^h to 
 linger late, you can return by train, but lovelier by 
 far is the drive back perchance l»y moonlight. The 
 electric lights of Quebec shining in tlie distance througli 
 the evening haze make it truly the most wonderful "of 
 cities "set on a hill, which cannot be hid."

SIX DAYS IN QUEBEC. 
 
 If your stay be of this duration the mountain air 
 will have liad its bracing eifect, and in spite of tlu 
 amount of sight seeing you liive done, in spite of the 
 liills wliich you have climbed both inside and ouLside 
 of the city, you will feel quite equal to rising at six or 
 seven o'clock in order to visit the Champlain Market 
 in Lower Town before breakfast wlien, on mu'ket 
 days, llie buying and selling are at their lieiglit Most 
 of the produce has l>een brought from parishes up or 
 down the river by the market steamers wliich lie lliree 
 or four abreast along the quay. Tlie open ,spacj out- 
 side of the large stone market building is planked 
 over; and upon it tlie "habitiints" sit with their iiieeji 
 stult spread out on the boards aroi-ml them. Tiiere 
 they gesticulate and vociferate to assist their patoisif 
 with an energy indescribable. 
 
 This part of tlio Lo^-er Town of which you have 
 already had a bird's eye view from the Terrace, has a 
 past as well as a present interest, for it was in this 
 neighborhood that Champlain erected the first building 
 of Quebec in 1008. Not far olf is the oldest church in 
 the city, perhaps also the oldest in Canada — Notre 
 Dame des Victoires. 
 
 After breakfast you will be ready for a drive, and 
 this time it shall be out to Jeune Lorette in a Cileche, 
 that jaunty, hooded, two-wheeled veliicle peculiar to 
 Quebec, whicli reminds one of a covered buggy on 
 
 J

 l.S 
 
 stilts. Its lioi*,'ht makes it ratlier hard to descend 
 from, and therefore it were best not to take a caleche 
 except for an uninterrupted drive. 
 
 On the road to Jeune Lorette the characteristics of 
 Frecch C?inada will be apparent to the least observant. 
 At the villatje itself dwell the last remnants of the 
 Hurons. They have intermarried largely with their 
 French neighbors but the Indian features and habits 
 still predominate. 
 
 There is a very pretty water fall in the village, and 
 less than a mile farther on is the reservoir, formed by 
 the damming back of the St. Charles iJiver, which 
 provides Quel)ec with water. That is a delightful spot 
 to partake of the lunch which you have doubtless 
 brought with you, and if you be of an adventurous 
 turn of mind you may take a canoe and paddle all the 
 way up to Lake St. Charles, one of those lovely slieets 
 of inland water within easy driving distance of Quebec. 
 Ketmning from Jeune Lorette you may pass through 
 the vilhiue of Charlesbourg and will return to town 
 with enough remainino- enersry for an evenintj stroll on 
 the Terrace, to watch the lights spring out in Lower 
 Town and in Levis over the way.

SKVKN DAYS IN QUEBEC. 
 
 If you spend a week in Quebec, one of your days 
 must of ni.'cessity be a Sunday, and there are many 
 oliurches from wliich to choose. 
 
 The Enulish Trotestant Cathedral which is situated 
 on a stattdy square near the Terrace, and surrounded 
 by Itcnutiful linden trees is a tine old l)uildin<,' and 
 contains two tattered tings which create a roniantio 
 interest. Thev were left there by the 69th Iieuiment 
 of the British Army when it was presented with new 
 colors in IS 70. 
 
 One of the spectacles on Sunday mornings is the 
 assembling,' of the Canadian regulars in the (Cathedral 
 Square, after service, and their quick march off to the 
 Citadel headed by the regimental band. 
 
 St. Matthew's Church out on St. John Street is 
 surrounded on three sides by an interesting, old burying- 
 ground, in which near the street is a tom))-stone erected 
 to the memory of a brother of Sir Walter Scott. Among 
 tlie lioman Catholic Churches the Basilica has of course 
 the best music ; but those wlio want an English speaking 
 preacher must yo to St. Patrick's Church the large 
 edifice upon McMalmn Street. 
 
 A sermon from nature may be found in a Sunday 
 afternoon walk ujjon the Glacis where one can not be 
 driven. Strnlling along the heights one is elevated 
 physically ami spiritually by the sight of those peace- 
 ful, blue mountains upon the horizon, and the quiet 
 Howing St. Lawrence far below. Even the Martello 
 
 r 
 
 ;.

 Towers no longer sufrgest wnrs nor rumors of wars, for 
 in lliese times of ] ence they do but keep watch upon 
 tlie squads of red-coated gcdfers, who during tlje week 
 pursue their httle white balls over the historic Plains 
 of Aljraham. 
 
 If you can tear ycuirself away from that "happy 
 hunting ground," tak.* a turn down Lachevrotiere Street 
 and hear the nuns sing their vespers at four o'clock, in 
 the chapel of Le Bon Pasteur. 
 ^ There are two Tresliyterian, one Methodist and a 
 Baptist Church at which morning or evening service 
 may be attended ; and some part of the day you will 
 be sure to find your way to the Terrace, for an airing 
 there seems indispensable upon Sunday to every re- 
 sident of Quebec even if he be but of one week's 
 standing.

EIGHT DAYS IN QUEBEC. 
 
 So far the fittention of the tourist hds been confined 
 to the North side of the river, and before tin's time he 
 has probably been tempted to take a run over to Point 
 Levis and to ramble up and down that queer, old town, 
 which for steep streets, fine views, and French speaking 
 population rivals even Quebec itself. 
 
 A more complete expeHition may be made by takint,' 
 the Island boat as far as Sc. Joseph landing there and 
 walking or driving back to Levis, returning thence by 
 the ferry. 
 
 In this way a pleasant forenoon may be spent visiting 
 the modern forts on that side of the river, instructive in 
 themselves and altogether delightful from the charming 
 prospects they command. 
 
 The afternoon's drive should be out the St. Louis or 
 Ste. Foye Eoad to " Sandy Banks," a steep descent to 
 the level of the St. Charles valley, from the top of 
 which the wide stretch of countrv is seen to threat 
 advantage. The drive can be continued around a loop 
 of the Little Biver, as the St. Charles is familiarly called, 
 iind its varied scenery, the frequent glimpses through 
 the trees, of the shallow, stony stream with its high, 
 wooded banks are a complete change from the grandeur 
 of the mighty St. Lawrence. 
 
 There is an old-f,<shioned Catholic cemetery upon 
 that road, where the " fourteen stations " are marked by 
 as many iron crosses and the appropriate pictures. 
 
 The return to town is through the large and thickly 
 populated suburbs of St. Sauveur and St. Eoch's each 
 with its huge parish church, that of the former having its 
 ceiliog decorated with some extremely realistic pictures.

 NINE J)AYS IN QUEBEC. 
 
 For the ninth day in Quebec, a drive is recommend- 
 ed to Chateau Bigot, the country resilience of the 
 infamous French Governor already mentioned. 
 
 This will take you through the village of Charles - 
 bourg, one of the most conspicuous of the " cities of 
 the plidn." The Chateau is a ruin, not much to look 
 at, but full of historical associations, and it has a "ood 
 right to be haunted, if ever a ruin had. It stands in 
 ii field on an open space surrounded l)y thick woods, 
 and the diive there and back, especially in a caleche, 
 in September when the leaves are beginning to show 
 the first signs of Autumn is a thing that will not soon 
 be forgotten. 
 
 If this expedition occupies the forenoon, the after- 
 noon may be devoted to a sail up the liver, and a 
 landing at New Liverpool to see the fine pictures in . 
 the church ; or a tiip farther on to Chaudi^re, though 
 it would take more than a day to exhaust the aitra-.'- 
 tions of the latter place with its wonderful water fall. 
 
 If the afternoon should be wet as afternoons have a 
 trick of being in this mountainous distiict, there is 
 always G E. Kenfrew's to fall back upon —Renfrew's 
 withitspolitest of staffs who speak French and English 
 equally well, its large wotk rooms full of the prettiest 
 Canadian maidens, and its drying room filled with the 
 finest skins that the Hudson Bay legions and the 
 Labrador coast can provide. 
 
 Queen Victoria herself fell a victim to the spirit of 
 envy when she saw the exhibit of Renfrew & Co, at 
 
 2 
 
 * mmmm.v'1 «-i«w«r .1 
 
~ 18 - 
 
 the Indian and Colonia' Exhibition in London, and 
 she became a customer to a large extent. The framed 
 document in the elevator car testifies to whom it may 
 concern that G. K. Kenfrew and Company are bona fide 
 " FURRIERS TO THE QUEEN " ; and the different Govern- 
 ors of Canada and their suites find that loyalty, taste 
 and economy induce them to follow her illustrious 
 example. 
 
 The sleigh robes presented by the ladies of Canada 
 to the Duchess of York upon her wedding were, as a 
 matter of course, purchased from G. II. Renfrew & Co ; 
 but the firm is prouder to call attention to the medals 
 obtained at the different World's Fairs, which adorn the 
 outer wall of their establishment, as they would the 
 breast of a veteran.

 TEN DAYS IN QUEBKC. 
 
 The drive to Lake Beauport and back l)y Laval, is a 
 whole day tiip, but it will be a most iuemoral)le one 
 to the man who is fond of the wildest lake and 
 mountain scenery combined. 
 
 The allotted time has sped and nothing has been 
 said of spending a whole day at Grande Kivi^re, the 
 next station on the railway beyond Ste. Anne, from 
 which one can drive through most picturesque woods 
 to the lovely falls on the Ste. Anne river; nothing of 
 St. Augustine and Lake Calvaire which are beyond 
 Cap Rouge ; nothing of the steamer trip up the Sague- 
 nay which takes but two days from Quebec; nothing 
 of the many charming watering-places down the rivei 
 which becomes salt just below the Isle of Orleans; but 
 it is pleasant to leave a town with the feeling that you 
 have not half exhausted its resources. 
 
 In time you will get into the habit of making a yearly 
 trip to Quebec, to combine business and pleasure by 
 enjoying the beauty of town and country, and preparing 
 for the assaults of winter from the extensive stock of
