How Sweet
The Chief Confectioner or the Canadian Pacific Liner Empress of Scotland decorated the buffet of that ship's Dining Saloon by making a scale model of the 25,000 ton ship entirely of sugar. Lights shine through the portholes, the mastheads and the green and red port and starboard lights indicate that she is ander steam. Harry Astley designer and builder constructed the ship in his spare time-spread over five days-and is planning to enter a scale model of the new Canadian Pacific hotel in Toronto, the Royal York, at the next exhibition in London. He already holds two cups as the prize decorator in star at the annual competitions held by the American Hotelmon's Association in New York. These entitle him to the title American Champion-which is absurd, because Harry, like Canadian Pacific sailors whether they are on the bridge or in the bakery, is from Liverpool.
