PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND

me

HERE is something very distinctive about Prince Edward Island with its brilliant atmosphere, its c depth of color, its luxuriance of foliage. One almost thinks he is in the tropics in that intensely clear air, every object shows so vividly and colors seem to breathe. The Island seems to have been steeped in sunshine, giving the earth its deep red hue, the foliage its luxuriant green. It is a veritable garden province and its rolling hills are dotted with happy homesteads and farms. Charlottetown, the Island’s Capital is a prosperous city of about twelve thousand inhabitants, just emerging into the name and appearance of metropolitan status. It has many things to recommend it to the tourist and sightseer. It is a busy city, situated upon a magnificent harbor, and its wide streets and avenues of shade trees, not to mention its substantial architecture, give it an aristocratic appearance. But the chef d’oeuvre of the city is Queen Square with its Legislative Building in the old colonial style, flanked on either side by the Court House and Post Office. Then facing the square are rows of handsome business. blocks. Thereare few churches in Canada that surpass in magnitude St. Dun- stan’s R.C. Cathedral. It is a. magnificent structure and the architectural feature of the city. ; St. Pauls (Anglican) and St. James (Presbyterian)

are also fine edifices. A TYPICAL SUMMER SCENE
