     residence in the Province. Either city is such a radical change from the 
     
     noisy, bustling, overheated cities of America that it at once fascinates the 
     
     tired traveller Day by day he becomes so increasingly charmed with the 
     
     clear skies, the bright, sunny days and cool nights, as well as with the 
     
     health-giving, invigorating atmosphere that he finds it almost impossible 
     
     to tear himself away from such an elysian habitat. From both Char- 
     
     lottetown and Summerside the most delightful excursions can readily 
     
     and easily be carried out.

     fishing and bathing. Good motor, sail and row boats can be hired at 
     
     very reasonable rates. The S.S. Harland, a safe and comfortable steam- 
     
     boat, plies on these waters and nearly every afternoon makes an excur-
