You will dance on moonlit decks to the rhythm of a col lege orchestra no feet have yet resisted. You will swim in salt water in an impro vised deck tank. You’ll play the delightful deck games that youtn-on-a-lark devises. And there’ll be bridge,— and conversation; — and sometimes lost sleep! But of course you have your choice between missing sleep and fun. Do you realize how very inexpensively this can be done on big Cunard ships such as the CARONIA, CAR- MANIA, SCYTHIA, LACONIA, LANCASTRIA and TUSCAN1A? You are berthed in a com fortable, clean cabin, you have good food, nicely served, with ample deck space and you enjoy the company of your own kind of people . . , because they are others like you who feel the adventurous call of traveling Tourist Third Cabin.
