This Saturday group, in holiday mood, was assured by the travel minded stenographer that it wouldn't rain, even though popcorn clouds hovered menacingly on the horizon. " I bought this coat last summer, but been out of its case," she commented. If there was a pessimist in the crowd, not one -voiced the old cliche, "There's always a first time." The talis-held good to her promise for the sun shone brightly all day on the C.N.R.'s Thousand Island tour of the St. Lawrence Seaway. i Settling themselves in the seat ahead of me, the gingham clad girl and her companion tucked bags of potato chips, two Brownie cameras, a paper back novel and a pair of overgrown purses between the folds of their billowing crinolined frocks. I asked them how they had learned about the packaged tour. Daddy, the extrovert said, had gone to Vancouver as a delegate to a convention last summer, aboard the "hotel wheels". He had planted the seed of a yen for travel on fertile soil when he decided wanted his daughter to have the broadening advantages of journey by train. Even though it came in capsule form and had to be paid for out of a junior sized salary the tour, she decided, was a good one. Daddy learned about it through a dodger picked up in the station. Edoh time the Newsy came through the coach the girls bought pop to wash down their potato chips. When we arrived at the dock, after a breezy bus trip from Kingston to Ganan-oque along a portion of Can-Trans-Canada Highway, they gorged on hot dogs and □p purchased at the coffee shop. I envied them their young constitutions that could stand such punishment and their intestinal capacity watched the water taxi bobbing at the dock on the choppy, emerald sparkle of the great water-Aboard we dipped and wallowed in the wake of numerous smaller craft as our boat nosed its way for four hours among those fabulous islands. We cruised through narrows between rocky shores, under the International Ivy Lea bridge and skimmed through the channel where islands were sunk to make it possible for seagoing ships to travel safely through the buoy-marked seaway. I wondered, as I viewed the Gay Nineties architecture of Helena Rubenstein's summer palace, huw many of my dollars squandered on her beauty preparations, were spent on the upkeep of acres of rolling lawn on her privately owned island. Boldt castle, like the Taj Mahal in India, visual evidence of the adoration of a husband for his wife, is probably the most spectacular of the many amazing homes that cling to such promontory real estate. Dollar signs must have danced before the eyes of our steno friends when the tour conductor said Boldt, an American hotel tycoon, had spent five million i on his St. Lawrence playground. The castle aver been occupied. His wife died early in the century before the monstrosity was pleted. Now owned by the Noble estate, it has degenerated into a tourist attraction. It costs 60c to view this monument, erected to satisfy one man's conceit. Luckily, charity benefits from the contributions of the curious. There was still one anticipated adventure left for my young companions. This was a meal in the dining car on the "homeward bound journey. If daddy had gorged on the perfection of diner steak dinners at the expense of his lodge, daughter was prepared to be on the same travel footing with her parent. She had apparently ■budgeted for this luxury. Not even the allure of a roast chicken special distracted her from her intention to splurge the last of her spending money on a filet mignon, medium rare. A little wiser, a little more assured, the girls detrained contentedly at the end of the tour with four aspirn tablets from my purse in their stomachs trying their best to subdue a battle between gallons of pop and the cut of a prime bit of beef.
