DINING ON SHlPB0ARD.
Different Now From What IL Was
When Dickens Visited Us,

Wnen 1tCkeH8 bibl<oo w.
When Dickens came over to America
some seventy odd years ago there was
one large table in the dining room for
the passengers. The first officer sat at
the head, carving the turkey with all
the grace he could command between
lurches of the good ship, trusting to
Providence that the gravy would not
slop over. The passengers sent their
plates along the line and waited for
their helpings.
Today the dining room Of q large
ship looks like the dining room of
fine hotel. 1t is just as exquisitely ap
pointed and has every god thing to
eat that can be found on land. In
fact, one of the new ships has res
taurant named after a famous one In
New York. and the two keep in touch
by wireless so that the menus. day by
day, are the same. Think of having
your dinner arranged by wireless
your macaroni by Marconi!
The dining room is divided up into
a number of small tables. so that you
can have your own party, with only
half a dozen of you. with your own
waiter, instead of sitting at long Ia
BILE and passing your plate. as Dickens
did.
The development of the wonders of
cold storage has done more than any
other one thing to make life on the
ocean wave one long round of joy.
Cold storage gives you the best in the
world to eat and every day of the
year. A world traveller was telling me
the other day that he had eaten grape
fruit every morning ali around the !
world The ship on which he sailed

made in New York, and 40 days later,
when he arrived in San Francisco, he
was still eating New York ice cream
