Il suites instead of simply unro-
mantle numbers. For instance,
on the lie de France they bear the
names of towns in the country sur
rounding Paris "Fontainebleau, "
Versailles" "Chantilly," to name a
few. On the Normandie, the worlds
largest ship, soon to make its maiden
voyage to New York, the more sump-
tuous suites have been given names
of towns in Normandy.
There are IA de luxe suites on the
new liner of them "grandes suites
de luxe and 10 other suites consisting
of salon, bed room and bath. These
latter. designed for two or three peo-
pie, are called "Honfieur," Mont St.
Michael" "Dieppe," "Jumieges," LIE
Havre," 'Fecamp," "Bayeux," Allen
con-" "Coutances" and 'Lisieux."
These 10 apartments are on the
main deck, where are located also two
of the larger suites, "Rouen" and
"Caen," each consisting of salon, din
ing room, pantry, baggage room and
four bed rooms, each with private
bath, accommodating maximum Of
seven persons.
RUT it is in the two "grands apparte-
ments de luxe" "Deauville" and
"Trouville," that passenger accommo-
dations attain an almost palatial
standing. These are located aft on
the high sun deck. one on the port side
and one on the starboard, and each is
made up of salon, dining room and
pantry, baggage room. three master
bed rooms. each with private bath, and
three additional bed rooms, which can
be used either for additional members

sula and back to Montreal Is In the
neighborhood of 1000 miles.
In the course of such journey the
traveller encounters many delightful
French Canadian towns and villages,
little spoiled by the changes which
have taken place in other parts of the
province. For this area Of Quebec
has but recently been opened up for
the tourist and remains as simple and
picturesque as it was a century ago.
One of the first known parts of North
America, many of the people who live
here are direct descendants of those
hardy French pioneers who came to
the New World with the first wave
of immigration two centuries ago.
The language spoken is for the most
part French. although English Is also
spoken and generally understood.
Excellent sport, both hunting and
fishing, may be enjoyed, and some OF
the salmon rivers are already world
famous, and rightly so.
MONTREAL makes an ideal starting
point also for trip through the
eastern townships. Here will be found
the same scenic beauty for which the
province is everywhere famous, roll
ing hills, many lakes and rivers and
rich agricultural districts. A differ
ence will be noted, too.
Less French perhaps than other
parts of the province, the eastern
townships display a character which
Dc ~ h1avl of Eronrl1 rono-
dian, American, Scotch and English.
1t was here that many American
families settled after the War of In
dependence. Here, too, settled Eng
lish and Scotch settlers in the more
peaceful days that followed, and into
this area in more recent years have
flowed, too, constant stream of in
dustrious French Canadian families
Many of the villages are reminiscent
of Vermont, Connecticut and Massa-
chusetts. In many respects they are
pure New England"
In the eastern townships Is found
the largest rural population in Que
bee, and a number of thriving indus
trial towns, including Sherbrooke, St.
Hyacinthe, CRANKY, Drummondville,
Richmond, Thetford Mines and VIC
toriaville.
There are many alternative motor
routes through this section. Round
trips may be planned out of Mont
real to include most of the interest,"
ing industrial and historical centers,
but the usual route is through the
heart of the district via route l to
Sherbrooke and Quebec City, a dis
tance of 245 miles. Following this
route the tourist has an opportunity
of seeing Magog and the beautiful
lake on which it lies; Memphre-
magog; Sherbrooke, the most impor-
tant industrial center in the district,
with a population of some $4,000 and
over so different industries; Thetford
Mines, home of Canada'S asbestos in
dustry. and the center from which
comes no less than IS per cent of the
entire worlds asbestos requirements.
Reaching Quebec the motorist has
the option of many different routes
back to Montreal. He may take one
of several roads back through the
heart of the eastern townships, or If
he prefers, he may follow the st.
Lawrence back via Trois- -Riveres to
the metrOpoliS

TLANTIC CITY, May 49,
n With every preview indicat-
II ing that bathing suits for
4 \ women will be Scantier than
ever this Summer, Atlantic
City will stage appropriate ceremo-
nies to mark the beginning of the
1885 beach season May 80.
Under the direction of Leonard
Asch of New York, creator of some
Of the most advanced bathing suit
styles, a score of beautiful girls will
stage a pageant depicting the evolu-
ton of the present-day ocean attire.
Secure in the official approval of
Mayor Harry Bacharach obtained sew
eral months ago at special preview,
Asch will present the halter suits,
flimsy net creations, South Sea Is
land designs and very abbreviated one
piece knit suits.
a ANNETTE KELLERMAN, who IS
a years ago startled America by her
efforts to emancipate women from
heavy, all-coverage beach suits, and
was arrested here and in Boston for
appearing in full-length black tights,
will preside at the ceremony of ''un-
locking the ocean" She will be greeted
upon her arrival here at the Ambas-
sador Hotel by Ada Taylor Sackett,
Sunday school teaching aquatic star,
who became a national figure IL years
ago when she defied resort authorities
and appeared on the beach without
stockings. Within two years the wear
ing of stockings was discontinued by
all woman bathers, despite efforts of
city rulers to enforce the regulation
requiring they be worn.
THE official taboo against males
- going shirtless is still in effect,
and all of the men participating in the
pageant will be compelled to wear
Jerseys. Considerable controversy has
resulted from the decision of Ventnor
smart residential suburb of Atlantic
City, to permit topleSs bathing suits
for males this Summer.
Plans are now being formulated for
establishing a historical exhibit of
beach modes since 1890, to trace to
startling changes in bathing attire,
especially those of the last few years

The city provides ample accommo-
dation for tourists. from the man who
insists on the luxury Of the ultra
modern hotel down to the family
man" content with more modest quar-
ters. The city itself and its imme-
diate environs possess an Old World
atmosphere and French Canadian
character. Within radius OF so miles
there are many points of interest that
can be reached in a day by car, bus or
train. Some of the most beautiful
resorts in the Laurentians, offering
golf, horseback riding, swimming,
TERMS and every kind of outdoor
recreation. are within easy striking
distance of the city.
pOUTE II, striking north for ITO
miles to Mont Laurier, then west
and south again by the Gatineau VAL
ley to Hull and back to Montreal by
way of the Ottawa River, has become
one of the most popular of all motor
tours out of Montreal. This route
makes a complete circuit of the Lau-
rentian Mountains through its most
beautiful parks, and at many points
along the route stops may be made for
side trips into the lakes which every
where abound and where fishing is
the best to be had in this part of
Eastern Canada. For those intent on
sport, experienced guides at Mont
Laurier and other points are always
available, with equipment if needed
for extended trips into the big game
districts away from the main high
ways.
In the course Of the journey many
delightful French Canadian villages
are encountered where excellent ac-
commodation is provided by local inns,
hotels and frequently by the local
farmers AS is common in other parts
of Quebec, rug weaving, spinning,
wood carving and other handicrafts
are still practiced in the Laurentians
and many articles of great artistic
and practical value may be bought
at reasonable prices. The round trip
from Montreal to Mont Laurier and
back by the Gatineau and Ottawa
Rivers is approximately 450 miles. and
can easily be undertaken in the course
OF weeks holiday.
One of the most popular scenic
routes of North America, the highway
down to the lower st. Lawrence and
around the Gaspe Peninsula, also has
its beginning at Montreal.
To Quebec City from Montreal is
an easy days journey. Crossing the
st. Lawrence at this point to Lewis
on the south shore, the highway
swings east again down the broad
stretches of the mighty river. passing
many delightful seaside centers en-
route to Ste. Flavie. The distance
from Quebec City to Ste. Flavie is
about 200 miles. From this town the
new famous Gaspe Belt Highway
traverses the charming Matapedia
Valley, skirts the Bale des Chaleurs
and winds its way around the Gaspe
Peninsula, through Perce, Gaspe vii
lage and back along the northern side
OF the coast to Ste. Flavie. The Gaspe
Belt Highway is $50 miles long, of
hard-packed gravel and with the ex-
ception of a few miles follows the
water all the way. The entire jour-
iley from Montreal, around the penin-

Para ell General Gales han pasado va los dias de los ia
carandosos onomasticos, en- que sc yolcaban los grandes

que Ell la politca (y muy especialmente en- la politica
mexicana) las retiradas no Sc aceptan como muestras de

dfos de Cajeme, y ambos ~erigieron de nuevo SUI flamante
