'Still rower are those who have learnt
the jova of the Canadian winter sea -
eon, but there has come to be a grati-
fying increase each year in those who
come to participate in Canadian win-
ter sports.
The people of the American ton-
tinent who have been wont to read of
the winter sports of Europe with a
certain amount of envy, aro just com-
ing to realize that north of them, easi-
ly aeceesib'e, is it series of Norways
and Switzerlands stretching from
coast to coast, offering the mist mag-
nificent order of winter revelry and
the greatest variety of sport. Those
who once have indulged in Canadian
winter revelry become devotees and
return annually, .The number is grow -
Mg, but there are still too few with
any appreciation of the pleasures of
the winter season in Canada.
In the past Canada has been content
to disregard the violent misconcep-
tions which have widely prevailed
about her winter end plunged reck-
lessly into hibernal gaiety without a
care that other pe-op:es were ignorant
of her pleasures. Of late years, how-
ever, there has been a pronounced
movenient to make the Canadian win-
ter known as it really Is and further
to bring people from other lands to
share in the joys of the season. In
effecting this end winter sports have
become to some extent centralized,
and to many.party of the country,
carnivals, concentrating the joy of the
season into brief time, feature the sea -
eon.
Outstanding among these is Quebec

Similar gaiety, in only less btlartaus
form, is in evidence over the rest al
the Dominion. Montreal, in summer;
has become the Mecca at thousands of
tourists. It is at leaat equally attrac-
tive in the winter menthe, when its
peculiar location offers facilities for
the greatest variety and most enjoy-
able of winter pastimes. The great
Laurentian area, a natural play-

its countless mountains and lakes, op-
portunittes`for the more vigorous out-

the .season makes possible. In con-
sldering the severity of the Canadian
winter and Its attendant ice and snow,
people are apt to forget that enthusi-
asts travel long distances and go to
considerable expense to indulge in the
winter sports of Norway and Switzer-
land. Canada, both in topography and
climate, is several Norways and Swlt-
