Thus last week no transatlantic line had its "Coronation sailings" yet solidly booked in any class. Out-of-town agents, by paying a small deposit, are permitted to book and hold any number of cabins in dummy names until about ten days before a given ship sails, do not lose this deposit in any case as it stands to their credit if the reservations are given up.

Remorseful, but liking her low, raking lines, he decided to sail her 3,000 miles to New Guinea. All for it were three footloose companions.

Today it is a sporty, front -steering ice-racing machine with 75-ft. sail area, manageable by a girl, thrilling enough for a man, inexpensive (150-$250). light enough (125 Ib.) to be disassembled and hauled about by auto. While not so fast as such legendary performances as Kittie...
