2 6o A SPORTSMAN'S EDEN. 



Line to Quebec (10 10s. each for saloon accom- 

 modation), and thence to Victoria, Vancouver's 

 Island, by the Canadian Pacific, the cost of 

 this part of the journey being at present only 

 15 8s. 3d. each for first-class passengers. To 

 this fare, however, must be added the cost of 

 living on the train, which you may reckon at 

 75 cents a meal, the meals being served in the 

 dining-saloon. Two meals a day are about as 

 much as the ordinary digestion can compass, 

 though a luncheon-basket to console you at mid- 

 day, or whenever the dining-car is not available, 

 is a very necessary adjunct to a perfect travelling 

 equipment. Of course these rules as to food do 

 not apply to anti-tobacconists or teetotalers. I 

 presume a double allowance of the food-supply 

 should meet their requirements. There is one 

 other expense for which allowance must be made, 

 i.e., the sleeping-compartment, without which, to 

 my mind, the trans-continental journey would be, 

 for a lady, intolerable. The cost of a double 

 berth is about 12s. a day, and for this travellers 

 get not only a comfortable couch at night, but a 

 couch or arm-chair by the window during the 

 day. 



If I have forgotten anything, gentle reader, 

 which you or your husband want to know, for- 

 give me, and accept this advice as my amende
