Abost A Trip Abroad

The Mediterranean has ever,
been the center of a fascinating
civilization, and in recent years
the number of people of culture
and refinement who visit its shores
for recreation and study is rapidly
increasing.
Among the many who organize
parties for such trip it is quite
generally conceded that Mr..
Frank Clark has developed the
art of cruising to as near perfec-
ton as it is possible to do.
Many years ago he introduced
the plan of chartering ship for
the entire trip, avoiding the many
dist Iomforts and inconveniences
incident to change of steamers
AT various times other steamers
have been used, but the particular
fitness of the White Star Line
steamer "Arabic" has been so
clearly demonstrated that this
year Mr.. Clark has chosen her as
the best adapted for comfort
able, satisfactory trip, and the
cruise leaving New York Febru-
ary 4th, 1911, makes the sixth
time this splendid ship has carried
the CLARK Cruise to the Orient.
II we are advised, pamphlets
giving a suggestion of what is
planned for those who accompany
Mr.. Clark. will be sent BY mail.
If more complete information IS
desired, we will send by mail copy
Of illustrated itinerary as well as
a diagram Of the steamer with
price list of rooms.
If you are planning a trip for
the coming winter or spring We
desire to ask that you carefully
consider Mr.. Ciark's most fasci-
mating tourIl He writes reserva-i
nons are already being made and
asks that arrangements for space
be made at once, ., ,.-- .,,
