| way or Fifth avenue. A suit of four
Fooms-a parlor, bedroom, dressing
room and bath-may be had in the
season for about $1,000 for the trip
There is practically no limit to the
number of rooms which may be threwn
into a single suit, and it is not I'M
common Tor as much as $1,000 to be
paid for suit for a single crossing
In case the ship selected is a five day
boat the rate will therefore range from
$500 to 5000 a day. The suits may,
however, be occupied by two and in
some cases three persons without ex-
ira charge.
In these rooms the decorations have
been designed by artists of taste and
experience. The cOl0rs are SO selected
and applied that the general color
scheme of the different cabins will be
perfectly harmonious. Naturally only
the richest materials are selected. In
some cases the cloth is especially de-
signed and woven that the harmony
may be perfect. 1t is in the bathroom,
however, that one finds the most in
genious luxury Here you will find
bathtubs of rare marbles, the finest of
Venetian mirrors, the walls and cell
ings completely tiled in elaborate de
signs, the fittings of polished metals
There are probably no finer bathrooms
in the world than are to be found in
the imperial suits of these great lin
ers. Every detail is worked out with
the greatest care. The bathtub will be
carved in some appropriate design. the
water, hot or cold, fresh or salt. will
run from dolphins' heads carved in
onyx: the towel racks will be of the
finest cut glass and silver
1t is difficult to imagine how luxury
could be carried further on these boats.
One of the newest of the liners, the
Amerika, is fitted with a complete
Turkish bath and a swimming pool
and an electric light bath in addition
to the regular accommodations There
is, of course, the barber shop, a model
in its way, with assistants who will
visit you in your private suit if you
choose. There is a gymnasium equip
ped with every manner of mechanical
apparatus, so that one may enjoy a
horseback ride. a camel ride or mas
sage of any kind on the seas.
Farewells at the sailings of Euro |
pean steamers are no longer tragic, as
in past times, as no one nowadays ex-
poets to be drowned and as a trip to |
Europe is regarded as hardly a more
serious undertaking than a visit to |
ones relatives few hundred miles
from home
1t is most amusing to witness the
leave taking of milady. 'sGoodby, good /
by! she cries. waving little per
fumed handkerchief. Write me lots

The Olympic, new White Star giant
now building, will be received in the
harbor next June with an almost
Rooseveltian blaze of glory. while her
sister ship, the Titanic. will follow in
August. These ships are TO be the
argest and most completely equipped
Tessels afloat. They will be about sev
enty live feet longer than the Lusita
lia. Some Of the features that will be
included in these new vessels will be
lew to ocean travel and will rival the
oest that can be accomplished in the
most extravagant hotels on land.
There will be a sports deck on which
will be arrangements for golf and roll
r skating. in addition to the games
Llready familiar to the voyager. Be
ides this there is to be provided for

gymnasium, swimming pool deep

decorated in oriental style, will prob
bly, be on the same deck as the gym
