Nancy smiled. but there was no an

Intuitively the girl felt that the older

she felt that Nancy looked frivolous

was too late to worry about that now,
thought Nancy. She was here. and she

WHAT'S WHAT
BY HELEN DECIE

Young women, whether travelling

little more CirCumspect about making
acquaintance than II they were expert
enced and discerning dowagers. Yet
even unChaprrOHed girls who are sens-
bic and wel-COnducted can be more
unconventional aboard ship than any
where on land They should not at
tend late suppers without a chapcrony,
~ al rign, Lut. aside from these slight
restrictions, they are free to enjoy every
moment Of the day and evening in their
floating hotel
Nearly all the passengers drift into
acquaintanceship after the first day or
two. Bridge parties, dances and shuttle
board games help to widen acquaintance
with little or no formality OF intro
ductions, so that when the destination Is
reached and home addresses are ex-
changed everybody feels that real
friends are separating, even though the
congenial "shipmates" may never meet
again on land or sea-
