A drive of between two and three miles from the railway station at Cacouna leads to the pleasant resort of that name.
Cacouna has been called the Brighton of Canada, its bathing on smooth beach, tennis, boating, walking and driving attracting many here to spend the whole summer. It is a dangerous place for bachelors, so great is the display of youth and beauty. In the words of the French-Canadian gradually mastering the intricacies of the English language:
“You can pass on de worl’ w’erever you lak,
Tak’ de steamboat for go Angleterre,
Tak’ car on de State, an’ den you come back,
An’ go all de place, I don’t care——
Ma frien’ dat’s a fack, I know you will say,
Wen you come on dis countree again,
Dere’s no girl can touch, w’at we see ev’ry day,
