LONDON. January 20.-The expert
ment of the Cunard and other big
shipping companies in advertising
third -class round trips to Canada and
the United States this summer for
5000 is attracting an entirely unex-
pected class of travellers.
The original idea was that the
cheap trips would attract clubs. fam
lily parties and local social organiza-
tions, parties of teachers and pupils,
ETC.. but most of the inquiries are
coming from the Darby and Joan"
middle-class, comfortably off type of
children who have settled, perhaps
many years, in the United States OF
Canada.
The idea of third-class trans
atlantic passage to these people would
hitherto have been anathema, and
they would not have dreamed OF sub
mittins to the "indispity" Of being
"herded with emigrants," and fac
ing the unknown terrors of Ellis
Island. Yet their means would not
permit first-class trips, so they have
had to defer the long -hoped-for visit
TO their sons and daughters.
Since the announcement of the new
cheap trips, however, comfortable
looking elderly men and women have
been siding semi-apologetically up to
the polished counters of the big ship
ping ofices in the West End of Lon
don, and asking for details of the
rd-cIass trip. Many of them are
retired business folk and mechanics
who can readily afford the $500 rate,
but who would not consent to lay
themselves open to the reputed rigors
of an emiErant ship.
All of them particularly inquire
whether there will be any fuss or de-
tentien at Ellis Isand, which has An
Ill reputation among middle class
Enelishmen. Some Of them have not
seen their children in thirty or forty
years, and now they are looking for
ward to the trip, as long as they will
not be regarded as emigrants.
