DO you remember the legend OF the LoreIei?
Anyone who has ever taken a trip down
the River Rhine can never forget passing
the rocky crag where the beauteous maiden i
reputed to have sat, combing her golden hair and
Turing sailors to destruction. As the steamer
passes the rock, usually those on board begin to
sing the famous Lorelei song that tells 70 graph

Of course, to Us today, the story of the
Lorelei seems quite outmoded. For we moderns
have quite a different type Of Lorelei. For sirens
are still in style, YES, indeed. They always were
and they always will be. Ii is merely the tvne

a costal boat or a transatlantic liner has on
board its own particular siren. She IA usually
the type of girl who likes admiration and the
