I like the story of Kipling's First Winter at Brattleboro, told to me by his friend, Miss Cabbot. Said she: " Coming from India, he had never seen snow in his life. When he got out in a sleigh on the Vermont Hills, he was like a child in the ecstacy of his delight. I, never saw him so thrilled by anything as he was by that first sight of snow."

But, since the poet has shown the way, all, in time, must come to feel a thrill of pride in our title, * The Lady of the Snows." . It is interesting to note the origin of this which has become the almost universal name for Canada. One of the hills surrounding Mount Royal is "Cote des Neiges," the Hill of Snows. It is surmounted by a little chapel dedicated to Notre Dame des Neiges, Our Lady of the Snows. This chapel is recalled in a poem by Thomas D'Arcy McGee, from which it was conveyed to the wider { Anglo-Saxon world by Rudyard Kipling. With a false idea about our winters, and our cold, we used to blush about this season and say, *" Hush! Hush!" when they mentioned our snow, as though it were a thing of silence, When the ice carnival was first suggested at Montreal, William Van Horne admonished George Illes, its promoters, against any such baneful notion. " Don't you dare to talk of such a thing, George. Ice carnival, pooh ! | Ice is the word that's got everyone scared of Canada. Why, bless my soul, I want to have pictures of them dropping down with sunstroke in the streets of Montreal." In most things, with stragge prescience, Van Horne was right. Here he was wrong. Time is steadily proving that the winter, once regarded as our greatest foe, is Indeed our greatest friend. Without the winter, and without the snow, there could be no Canada. Without this season, which 80 many dread, there could be no No. 1 Canadian hard wheat, to claim pre-eminence for our dominion. It is cold that does it. A few years ago the frost line began with the forty-ninth parallel. Canada was looked upon.as a forbidden land, a frozen solitude.
