There was a need for an illustration to brighten and balance the page. So we looked through the fyles. The photograph of the new Canadian Pacific engine came to light first, but, while it illustrates the largest passenger engine in the British Empire, our readers already knew all about it. Put it on one side ! Then we saw the picture of the ox which is engaged in shunting freight cars at Trieste. This we thought we could tie up to the engine in some way, but when we saw the photo- graph of the elephant at Kandy, we thought that it would be much better and easier to write a feature on, say, “power” or “World‘ transport”! The African Zulu with the Ricksha would have helped a story of this nature, but when we saw the beautiful curves of the Lunghwa Pagoda and the graceful lines of. the Moon Arch in the garden of the Jade Tree Studio at Shanghai we thought that perhaps we could make an appeal of sorts to the cultural side of our readers. But the office boy was very keen on the locomotives, the make-up man thought he could design a better laruout with just the animals. and our fair-haired stenographer considered the architecture more artistic. We compromised by deciding to make a three-column instead of a two-«olumn lay-out and using them all. What then remained was to tie them up in some way, so we got out our best-looking photo- graph of the “Empress of France,” andâ€"there you have a complete short story. One gets aboard a Canadian Pacific train first and at New York boards a Canadian Pacific steamship for the ports and sights of the world. 'The “Empress of France” doesn’t really belong to the Set, because this year she will not make a cruise, but, here she is last year at Rio de Janeiro. The “Empress” is replaced in cruise service by a “Duchess”. Not that this makes a great deal of difference to your editor, but there are many, readers of this page too, who will spend Christmas in the Holy Land, and chewy-- blossom time in Japan. They will tour the West Indies in comfort in January or February. The? will spend the winter in luxury travelling round South America and South Africa, round the world or round the Mediterranean.
