Ontario we spent several days recently at Toronto's Royal York Rotel. The original hotel building, which is one of the largest in the Beitish Em- pire, is familiar to most Western Ontario people. Rowelier, the new wing, which has been under con- struction for many months, and which will be open for the first time next week, is a. revelation: Canada from, sea to sea, its• at- mosphere, history, traditions and residents, are vividly portrayed in a distinctive Canadian decorative theme. The addition contains 400 rooms and will cost about .$10,000,- 000, From strikingly-designed public rooms, named and decorated for the provinces and territories of the Dominion, to the Canadian Room, the largest of its kind in the coun- try and the keystone of the theme, a decorative ",pattern of Canada" is mended in a score of varying. and dramatic fortis. To capture a true Canadian at- mosphere, native wood panellings, tooled leather hides emblazoned with authentic western cattle brands, French-Canadian tapes- tries and previecial and native handicrafts are utilized in an exe pressive interplay of texture and color, producing a totally Ca,nadian impression in a setting of elegance.
