By ROTARY ANN

On Board the Cameronia, June 5.- to catch the point of Harry Lauder s 'Oh, how I hate to get up O Sunday morning" or "Oh, how like to lie a bed" the same thing. On this boat an English one, the bathroom steward came in as usual at 6;45 a. III. to an- nounee your Bath ready" After the salt bath one scarcely has time to dress before the bugle sounds for breakfast, o'clock. On the Gamer onia there are two dining rooms regu- larly used for first and second class passengers, but since Rotary has the entire boat except steerage chartered, both dining rooms are used for first class. Even at this it takes two services fin each Your Birmingham party-for good or bad-drew places in the regular first-class dining room at first service. There, at adjoining tables, the place of honor, Birming hams seven representatives have ap- peared promptly at each meal. The steward says that unless we have some rough weather he fears a short age in our food supply.
