differ Amidships there is less motion.
Many prefer outside stateroOms. These
rooms are generally higher priced than
inside ones. But let 1t be remembered
that an outside room. whether opening
on a promenade deck or underneath

one of these rooms you will probably
be disturbed by the noise made by the
cleaning of the decks in the wee small

those who prefer walking out OF doors
to sleeping within. Again. the strong

Immediately on seeing that your bag
gage is in your stateroom provide your
self with steamer chair and have 1t
placed as advantageously as possible.
Take heed not to have it where you
will obtain whiffs from the galley. The
odors are apt to be uppermost In your
mind when you should be taking deep
breaths Of the salt air. Take the pre-
caution to have your name on your
steamer rug and pillows.
If you wish to take advantage of the
salt water baths each morning, arrange

bath hour.
