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.

In such a case there is always the gym where the tourist becomes suddenly aware that he is not only a tourist but a combination of speed demon, contortionist and army private. The combination of plain and fancy exercises, quick dressing and discipline is perfect training for playing “jai-alai. If the reader knows what that is (and he probably doesn't) he has the reason it was chosen above a wide field of other strenuous sports such as football and ping-pong. Another fine form of exercise, more mental than physical, although it involves more or less physical activity too, is that of dodging the various persons selling things, collecting dues, or borrowing. Avoiding this species of pest becomes a fine art. The dues collected fall into two classes, the legal and the plain nuisances, and the collectors of both arc equally insistent and hard to deceive. In fact, those amounts assessed that arc not exactly compulsory arc easier to part with than class dues and other legal assessments. The exercise, however, lies in thinking up artful subterfuges for dodging these insistent souls who swoop down on the unwary traveler, laden with tags, papers, books, banners, food and other more or less tempting things, and demand that the cash be coughed up on the dot. How It Works Following a sort of morbid desire growing out of wanting to take the clock apart at the age of five, every man and nearly every woman wants to know immediately DINING SALON
