Seated beside a card table spread with a buffet lunch, he was once more Roosevelt the Charming, swift with his comebacks, "wowing"' his audience with his retorts to every question. Had he fulfilled his desire of catching a "denizen of the deep?" No, indeed, but he had caught a "fish he did not recognize and was taking it back on ice to have the Smithsonian Institution tell him what it was. Where would the President cruise next?

There are closets with sliding glass doors for towels and clothes. There are shadowless mirrors. The bathroom denizen may stand on a given spot in the floor and see his weight indicated on the wall in front of him. The bathroom, not of porcelain which may crack or "craze," is of rough- surfaced iron, | in. thick, coated with enamel. A color may be baked...
