OF the room is an arched skylight Of
stained glass.
The cabin galley and PARTIES are a.
Dig as those in hotels on shore. A dozen
couples could dance a livlIy two-step on
the top of the big square range without
knocking against each other Besides,
there are a half-dozen other ranges grill

In the line of statcrOOms are those wnicn
have only a single berth. They are for
the travelling bachelors, male or female
and fill a decided want.
Until one comes to the steerage the
Celtic does not differ decidedly from
other big liners but once the third-class
quarters are reached her superiority Is
obvious. She has the finest steerage
qua, ters of any vessel afioat, and the
passengers who came over on her first
trip thought some mistake had been
made. That Storage passengers should

TACT that married couples could have
staterooms to themselves, and families

library amidships, both Of which are
deliberately furnished The tables in the
second cabin are well supplied with
china and silver, and the service is as
