The Travellers Notebook
By Jacques Futrelle, Jr.

~ ES1GNED primarily for the
Empress of Britain's globe
circling passengers, fasci-
- mating list of travel litera-
ture has been compiled by the Ca
madam Pacific Co. and placed in the
hands Of those who plan to sail from
New York on January 9 to see the
world on 130-day cruise. The read
ing was chosen especially to provide
background for the adventure that
lies ahead in strange lands-the thrills
in life and customs, oddity and
beauty, color and, yes, smells.
The books form creditable library
of their own, for 81 are suggested.
Several are old friends, having been
read when they were best selling f1c-
ton, some are crammed with ina
nutshell facts, and others are delight
fully written treatises on special char
| acteristicS of the countries. These
magic pages become almost a world
cruise in themselves Surely it would
take 130 days to digest this copious
| literary fare.
