COOKS TOURS.
Some years ago it would appear preposter
GUS for anyone to suggest trip to Europe
d
changes all things, and today any young
lady may travel alone with as much safety
as If she were accompanied. Tourist agents
have made this possible. Thomas Cook &
Son. the pioneers in this enterprise have an
experience that every one of their patrons
benefits by. In their circular letter they
say
Modern facilities for rapid and luxurious
travel, together with intelligent organiza
ton and the adoption of the cooperative
principle, have made possible such an
economy Of time and expenditure as would
have been impossible a few years ago since
we originated and introduced our series OF
vacation trips to Europe many thousands of
tourists have taken advantage of the
| system.
1.-THE itineraries are most comprehensive
and embody the results Of more than fifty
years experience The steamers which win
| convey the parties to Europe are of the first
class the Cunard Line having maintained
since 1910 the highest reputation for the ex-
cellence of its service. 1 he conductors who
| viii accompany the parties are gentlemen OF
experience and culture, perfectly familiar
| with the route and with the requirements of
| tourists.
The personally-conducted system entirely,
relieves the tourist Of all the responsibility
| and anxiety incident to foreign travel, with
| the constant change OF language and GUS
| toms Only places and objects of import
/ ance and interest are visited, and no time Is
spent In places without interest to the tour
| ist The transfer of baggage and the engag
ing of hotel and other aeeCRafHedStao -tha

| the principal cities and other details being
provided for, the members of our parties can
! devote their whole time to sightseeing and

| "The arrangements for these parties will
| be faithfully carried out in every particular.
I Mt VIII ifh tha arfio hp q
| commodated are personally known by us to
be comfortable and thoroughly reliable, and
| the rate, includes three meals per day
| throughout. The arrangement by which
| the conductor assumes the responsibility of
all fees to railroad and hotel servants, and
1 for sightseeing. will be found great con-
venience, as it tends to prevent good deal
| Of imposition. Stewards fees on the ocean
| steamers, however, are not included, ex-
| perience having shown that these are of SO
personal character as to be best left to the
| travellers own discretion.
