We saiied from St. John on April 12. It is quite a chore preparing for a trip acros the ocean. Not the least thing one bas ta do is ta pur- chase a remedy for seasicknoss. Gettmng sick is one o! those things that is done by the very best people when the Atlantic winds blow and the wavos mounit, and the ship rails. O! course, one has to keep up with the Joneses if at ail possible. Hence the popular- ity o! remedies supposed ta aid you in holding your food in the re- Sceptaclo nature made for it. Long before one buys any medi- crne, h1%wever, it is wiso ta find out if any accommodation is avail- able on any ship. There's a big rush ta Europe these days, aànd lucky is the person wbo can se- iSure bertbs if he doos not begin his search at ioast three rnonths before he wants ta sail.

Yau will be surprised at the number a! queer things they want ta knaw about you befare givîng yau lbave ta enter a foreign cou ntry. They ask for a wom- an's birth date and they type it an the passpart in big letters. Even going ta Britain it is noces- sary ta have a passport which costs $5 per persan.
