What a difference a few weeks
can make do this country!• It is
no wondler that Canadians carry
on, a lingering, tongue-4tied, , love
affair with their natfVe land.
,And 'they do. Believe ane, they
do, ,although you'd never know
it from casual observation. They
may .sally to Florida and. Mex-
ico mid , Europe,, but unost "of
them would be • sad beyond ens
durance ..if' they weresuddenly
told they were to banished ifor-
ever . from .Canada.
iAbaurt eight weeks ago, • we,
drove .okIt''tto %visit friends at their
cobbage. /It was 'the Lush,. bosomy
end sof summer; and the even-
ing 'air Was itropical. We slowed
to cross theAbridge; and the
ever-present, ever -intent anglers
peered. : With ,patience. at :tihe.
black little 'river, and the birds
,chortled and the frogs krumphed.
Along the (beach; golden 'girls
walked, and brown'urchins paid
d!led, and fat . ladies slumped in
deck chairs, and teen-agers nook-
ed sophisticated, and dogs ran
.over sleepingold gentleinen,, ` and
'people waved ' and water. " lapped
and 'motors reared and• hot :dogs
smnielled good ..•

. When We . arrived, • our friends,
about a, dozen `'of ,them, ;sprawled
under avast, ,sighing pine tree,
drinking ,;: chilled sauterne and
eating dill , 'pickles: ; Their . chil-
dren and ::ours, froitn todd'1ers to
,bantam deldngsuents; •prowled arid
squabbled and. begged ;biters. ' of
pickle ' and. demanded . one , :last.
swim, ' and ,laughed and' Cried
and wet their diapers and ;both-
ered their nioms ' .
sOurt 'Over. ' the lake, the sun,
almost gone, 'had a moment of
hysteria, slashing ..: color across.

,kering its blue, loak'ed' up• long
ingly, • and the.' Sim flung across'
it, distarinfully, a few scarlet and
:Said 'streamers... .
Just the otlierTnige# we went 'back`
to the same beach for dinner with
some friends at their ,cottage. The:
air was :fairly curdling.. The c a r
heater felt ;good, When we reached.
the little !bridge, dere were "no
fishermen; but we stepped to lock
at the late geld sun on the little
black ,river. Amid high, away up,
went over a w very V of geese, • a.
lovely sight. ' .
Ailong the 'beach .'there: was no.
Sign of !life. Steely water around
green - clurped , .'islands. Silver

It was lonely. and iblesak and beau -
'When we inane to the .cottage,
away down die Shore road, and
saw the yellow .• shits shining,. it
was a good feeling. Inside, there
was a great, 'glowing: fire, a warn!

good, rich smells of rye and %writ-•
ey'and perfumed women.
