When the season arrives, early In January, for tourists to direct tEeir travels to the semi-tropies. nothing seems more attractive to me than a visit to beautiful Havana"
 Mrs. D. F. Bonner. who is to make her initial trip as "chaperon" with the Bonner De LHxe Tours" this ssa- son. was the speaker, and she was en- thusiastic about tho charming party which her husband. MT. D. F. Bonner. is planning to take to Cuba, leaving here on January 12, 1922, and which she has been invited to chaperon.
 T have always been so busy with my home affairs and my babies shat have never before been able to ac- cept my husbands invitations to chaperon any of his de luxe tours |" Mrs. Bonner continued. although he has promoted the most delightful af- fairs for the past 10 years, conse- auently I am thrilled to death at the beautiful trip in anticipation, for really believe that Cuba now is the most attractive and charming of all foreign countries.
 Tn the first place de luxe con veys the idea of the kind of trip Mir. Bonner has planned" Mrs. Bonner continued, land as he personally conducts every one of the Bonner De Luxe Tours, and Mir. D. R. Riden- hour Is th4 resident manager, they are de luxe in every sense of the word. The best accommodations and the best advantages are afforded on all the Bonner De Luxe Tours and those who wish to see Havana under suspicious circumstances can do so with us.
 We are to make the trip by New Orleans" Mrs. Bonner continued, and that quaint old city is a delightful starting point with it's many his toric attractions, and, best of all, we stay in New Orleans long enough to see many interesting points. The French market. the site of the old French opera house (now burned), the delightful old coffee houses and the exotic restaurants and cafes. the old Creole quarters that George W. Ca ble has written so charminEly about afford delightful entertainment dur ing few days in this quaint city.
 "Our passage will be on one of the palatial steamers Of the SouJn6rn Pa- cific line. giving us a chance to have a glimpse of the Father of Waters the Mississippi river. for nearly 100 miles before entering the gulf, and the steamer, modernly equipped and beautifully arranged, is like a float ing palace as we wend our way to- ward beautiful Havana
 "All boats enter Havana harbor, 1t is said, in the early morning, so that Moro Castle may be viewed for the first time by daylight, the rising sun casting its radiant rays upon this historic old edifice,' said Mrs. Bonner, land from the moment we put our toes upon Cuban soil until we leave there is & never ending joy and hap piness. The famous Old Prado, the Malechon (sea wal), the Vedado (the fashionable residential section of Ha- vana), Marianao by the Sea. the great auditorium where the Cuban national game of Jai-alai' Is played. the Ta- con teatro (the Internationale) and all the wonderful hotels, the drives, the amusement parks and everything else combines to make visit to Ha- vana perfectly charming.
 The little low-necked phaetons and their funny little horses and drivers, the narrow streets--Obispo street be- ing just wide enough to allow one of these queer little vehicles to pass
