A SHORT SEA VOYAGE

MAKING THE BEST OF IT,

Having embarked and been conducted to your cabin, you will spend a little time '.'digging yourself in" and getting acquainted with your stewardess. When packing, do not forget to irclude a really warm wrap and a paii of rubber shoes for deck wear.

Your next concern should be to ap proach the chief steward as soon as h< has'finished dealing with the incoming passengers and arrange where yoi would like to sit in the saloon fo meals. Naturally,'if there are an; passengers on board who travel fre qucntly in that particular ship the; have the prior right to seats at. th captain's table. But, contrary, t liner .etiquette, there is no reaso why you should not ask to sit there i you wish. If there is room your r< quest .will be granted. On coastin voyages it is not necessary to dress fc dinner.

Last, but not least, comes the que] tion of tipping. There are two peop whom you will not overlook—yoi stewajiless and your table stewar The bathroom steward, too, should r eeive a small tip. The amount of tl tips will naturally be regulated by tl number of days and nights you a oil board.

You will, however, appreciate th; i* is your stewardess who brings yoi early morning cup of tea and mak y(.ur bed, and does much for your pc soual comfort, and if you should a bad sailor, she it is who is yo friend in need —so you will, no doul be moved to reward her according services rendered.
