18 TOURING QUEBEC AND THE MARITIMES \

committee, took us to “Spencerwood” the palatial resi— dence of the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec. Here Lieutenant-Governor and Mrs. Carroll, with Mrs. Tasche- reau, wife of the Premier of Quebec, honoured us by a cordial welcome to Government House. While refresh- ments were being served on the spacious lawn overlooking the St. Lawrence, an orchestra lent added charm to this joyous féte.

We were then treated to a sight-seeing drive of two hours around Quebec, by our hosts. We went to Levis Bridge, Battlefield Park, the Parliament Buildings, whose motto is, “I remember well,” The Basilica, The Laval Monument, ,St. Louis Gate, the house where Montcalm made his headquarters, Notre Dame des Victories, Church of Norman architecture, and Little Champlain Street, typical of the very quaint, narrow streets in Quebec.

It willvnot be an easy matter to forget dinner that night at the Chateau Frontenac, after the drive around old Quebec. Those of us, who sat near the French windows in the dining room, feasted on the magnificent panorama unrolled before our eyes, as well as on the delectable victuals provided by the Chateau.

In the absence of Premier Taschereau, who was unable to be present at the dinner, the Hon. Jacob Nicol, Provin- cial Treasurer, honoured us by his presence and gave an excellent address. He emphasized the fact that two great races in Quebec, with points of difference between them, lived side by side as brothers, each one giving of its best to a united and prosperous Canada.

Rev. W. H. Stevens and Rev. A. D. Mathieson spoke words of welcome, which were responded to by Mrs. James McKinney of Claresholm, Alberta, a former member of the Alberta legislature, and the first woman to be elected to any legislature within the British Empire.
