leave someone in charge ot your children for a few days then you can appreciate what a hectic two days we spent last fri day and saturday preparing for a trip to the canadian weekly news paper association convention quebec city paring down preparatory jobs to a minimum wo sttled for doing the washing lron- g shopping and baking and so our chat with yon had to wait till this week j perhaps a good many of you have already visited quebec city but for us it was tho first visit wo even enjoyed the daylight part df our trip from toronto to montreal which we had been led to believe was quite boring but to us was quite lovely with occasional glimp ses of lnke ontario and tho countryside so beautiful with its autumnal colouring x the most unusual thlngsr5out quebec city outside of its quaint- ness was its weather wc could hardly believe our eyes when wc looked out of the window ourrirst morning there to find a regular midwinter blizzard rasing atid it snowed hard all day hardly any one hod come prepared for such weather and the stores there did s landoffice business in overshoes the chateau frontcnoc where the convention was held is a lovely old hotel from its windows situated high on the cliffs of the upper town you have a perfect view of the st lawrence with boats of all shapes and sizes constantly plying its waters the city of levis on the opposite banks and directly below quebec city the turretted roof tops of its high narrow buildings closely clustered along the winding streets as the lights came on and shone on the snowcovered roof tops that first night quebec looked like a scene from a beautiful christ mas cord come to life the streets of quebec are ex tremely narrow unci one is con stantly aware of the ancient atmos phere of the city the old houses and buildings have been well pre set ed as has the historic citadel from behind whose walls the at tacks of invaders were repelled the citadel is usually open to the public only during the summer months but as a- special dispensa tion the press party was allowed a tour of inspection we must have walked a good two or three miles seeing the old fort from without as will as within inside the citadel it was hard to realize that what looked like blank stone walls stud ded with the odd rifle hole and topped by eaj th and tfrass were really continuous buildings which housed the troops a beiutlful cha pel has been restored and renova ted and one of the buildings is now being used as a museum modern troops ar blllotted in the citadel which is being constantly renova ted inside but a great effort is being made to as much like th tion ts possible from one of the gun emplatc- n ents situated on one of the high est corners of the citultl tin n v is an excellent view of wolfe s cove ind the plain of
