White Gives No. 3 Travel Talk. Edlitor James,_My last two letters took you ta Capilano River and Stan- ley Park, and now if you wiil corne with me I will take you to another beauty spot that helps make- Van- couver farnous. I neyer realized before that'three score yearàsênd ten is scarcely long enough to do this world and do it properly-it is sa very big and beautiful withal. While 1 arn not yet within speaking distance of the age limit, 1 must admit having' crossed the Great Divîde and now look down on the other sîde, but the beauty neyer fades, and the people stili are interestîng., On Saturday miorning Uncle Jack Pound telephoned ta our party to b e ready il 6v-6 hours to 'go to Wigwan Inn. Where is Wigwam Inn? asks the inquisitive one, and, I said, I was as ignorant as a pig's foot on that point. But when -Uncle Jack says "Go" that setties it. Tickets were al Iready and the boat pulls out at 10 a. m. Our *oints were a bit stîff from a longhike the day before, but the hurry of getting ready makes one feel like a child again, a__i1ittIe squagbbling over the quickest way ta get' ready-snatching a bite ta eat while hurrying for our good ciothes, slam on th e new hat, take a look at my tangue, feel my pulse, and tickle my tonsils with myifinger to see if my stomach would "back-fire". These prelirninaries over I arn ready for"a ride on the briney deep. This is the 'lf e for me. No dishes ta wash, no bread to bake, no butter to make, just up and away. Oh ! it is good to get out of your sheil once, breathe the.pure air, watch the sun chase the mountain shado)ws, and rest, absolue; rest. When the Ferry boat pulled into the slip, Uncle Jackwas there to meet us, and we were soon in the presence of our boat, with the horrid naine of, "Lo Ollibee". I asked Uncle Will what it meant, and> he said it was, Latin for "Get in and keep your rnouth shut". If wasý not just fa my liking but appeared saf e. The docks were f ull of fishing, boats, Japanese mostly, and packed together like sardines9. The propellers of the great ocean vessels, going and comn- ing, keep the water in a boat-rocking, motion, sa the boats grînd against each other and groan as they risc and fail by the action of the waves. The wharf is iined with Japs of a ages, sizes and sex, masculine an f emmne and neuter, saine with hats, sorne without., Their faces are not handsome, and perhaps in conse- quence of this are neglecfed. They, are here for 'fish, and I grab)(-a lne from one of the females- (which action seems to be the, only English they understnnd )-and start to fish too. I get a bite and up I pull a "percli" wigglîng and twvisfing for dear 1f e. The little Jap grabs the fish and wifh 5a sort of surgicai in- strurnent exfracts the hook, and inys the fish nway for future attention. The gulîs are here in thousands, just floating around for a "meal ticket"., The lualibuf boats land here, and theni the de-horning or de-liending and de-failing of the fish goes on, and pounced on b,,, the hungry gulis, and PUBLIC SCHOOL CADETS thus they get their daily rpeion.

THýE RVj'AI1R SHQP îTemperance-st., Bowraunville. 1 Rhine.' The only objection I have to such places is, that it makes one dissatisfied with our home environ- ment. The chief attraction here is its beautiful waterf ail, called the "Bridai Veil"'. As there is no copy- righit on the name, it seems to be ap- plied to every waterf ail tbat fails so far that hall its volume goes into spray before it strikes the rock be- low. But this is the real "Bridai Veil" from which ail the others de- rive their name and' then fade into insignificance. A quarter of a mile walk over a rocky road by a beautiful creek brings us »o the fails and it is no exaggeration to say i tis an inspiring sight. Just at the base 'of it the "Veil" hangs over a cernent dam, which hoids the water for domestic use and gîves power for electric light. The view of the fails and its setting is superb. We stand about 200 feet away, but the air is.so full of spray the observer would soon be soaked to the skin, An unbrella don't gîve the protection its narne would irnply, because the moisture is so driven by the air currents, that you are puzzied to know whether to hold it over your head or under youi' feet. The water bas a direct fali of about 150 feet but just back of the fail it cornes down an incline a thousand feetor more and shows up to great beauty from a certain view point. My husband tried to induce me to clirnb the rocks to a higher point, which unfolds a better view, but I refused to go on the ground that rny happiness was complete. I had ail the vision of beauty I could stand where 1 wns and wanted to be alone with Nature and my own thoughts. As the eye of the flesh takes in the awfui grandeur of the mountains towering away and away up into the blue sky, and the beautiful waterfali keeps the rocks busy with echoes that neyer cease, your heart seems to go out to your Creator with a love neyer f elt bef ore. There is no sermon that can make you so humble and in- crease your admiration and reverence of God so much as to stand face-to- face with these rare beauty spots of Nature, and lîsten to the voice of Naturels God. I love it and so love to put my hand in His and know that lue ever leads me on. As we pick our way back along the creek under dripping rocks, that over-hang our road, 1 wonder how fish can ever get up such rapid running water, and I ask Uncie Will if he can tell me. "Why" he said "that's easy, they just crawl up on their hands and knees".' I shied a rock at him, but he just ducked in time to save his anatomy frorn what might have been. The worst thing about British Colum- bia is you dislike to leave it; but we must, and so we turn our backs on another beauty spot, perhaps, for- ever. The sbril caîl of the boat whistle tells us, to get on board-our time is up. That night 1 drenmed of mount- ains, rivers, moss-covvered trees, mir- ror lakes nnd thundering cataract- but this last, might have been my husband snoring!11 Gertrude M. White. We WMl W.
