A museum is also provided for the lover of art in its higher forms, with displays of foreign art, hobby shows, caricatures, and inimitable baby pictures. Exhibits arc changed once a week, provided the committee, which is very busy, gets around to it. The Dining Salon An atmosphere of delightful informality prevails at meals on board ship. Here the connoisseur of good food may find his favorite delicacies to delight his palate, including foaming mounds of soft, white mashed potatoes, delicately cooked fruits, and freshly made sandwiches. A specialty of the expert chef is luscious prune sauce. Here, more than any other place, the passengers become acquainted, and friendly fun is the order of the day. Diners attract the attention of friends with a bit of bread or a lightly tossed slice of ice cream. The food (and drink) is only part of the peculiar genius of the line for making the traveler utterly happy. And speaking of the latter item, foaming, sparkling Milk 31 is the favorite beverage aboard ship. Advice to Passengers Concerning clothing, the traveler is warned to be prepared for all contingencies. As well as coping with hot and cold weather, the tourist is expected to keep abreast I 8 ]

THE HESPERIAN THE LIBRARY has an car for music. The orchestra features special modern arrangements of such touching ditties as “My Hero. Another exclusive feature is the language classes in which the passenger is taught foreign tongues to such a degree of conversational perfection that upon his arrival on foreign shores the natives are often able to discern that he is speaking their native jargon. Certain useful phrases arc memorized, such as “John, shall we go shopping? “Waiter, bring me some tea,” and “Have you seen the Follies yet?” The spacious conservatory provides a rare retreat to those “friends of our native landscape” who never feel quite at home when more than two miles from the great open spaces. There the lover of the great outd x rs may learn such useful bits of nature lore as how to tell a cactus from a velvet plant without making the sitting test. Special Services An innovation, designed to keep the male element engaged in some useful occupation. is the cooking class, where the embryo chefs prepare delicacies that arc quite beyond the imagination. Because of the efficient first-aid corps in connection, it is the boast of the department that there has not been one casualty, the most serious disorders being cold sores from eating grapefruit, and acute indigestion from fudge. Strictly private telephone communication is maintained with the great outside world and the passenger is able to converse with anyone and be assured of a quiet, strictly private conversation without any interruption. Indeed, some suites are provided with private phones, the lines being opened at the option of the general office. This is, of course, very rare. Connections with land may also be made by cable with sj ecial rates for standardized messages such as “Send me more money and “Come home at once, the dog :n

Bulletin It is rumored that the drama association of the ship has obtained exclusive rights to the current New York production, “Sun Up” and will present it some time during the next ten tours. Some difficulty has been encountered in the production and casting of this play, some of the members of the original cast having died of extreme old age and blasted hopes. Concerning Tours Two types of tours arc offered, the escorted and the unescorted. The former offers a well-planned itinerary with every hour of the passengers’ time accounted for. These trips are conducted by experienced men and women who have made the journey many times and know the ropes. Such tours may easily be made in four years; however, unescorted tours arc offered optionally, during which the traveler may roam through the Elvsian fields of education as indolently as he pleases.
