It was luncheon hour, just alter the big liner had left the Liverpool docks. and the cynical second officer at che head of his long table, surveying the cuptain's table near by, crowded with women, turn fo a man next him and said, with a sigh of relief: one_--compensation--that Stead of captain: hseve all the fool women who cross sit- fing at his table.

I'm sure it's very strange that I can't this trip," or "But I've crossed with Capt. X three times, and he's a personal friend. I shall speak to him about it;" and others of like tenor, Says a writer in the New York Post. The successful were smiling compes- édly and wore their prettiest gowns to dinner until they vanished into their cabins, the victims of the first storm. Why is it, one wonders, that almost tue initial thing a returned: woman tra- veller has to say about the voyage is: "And we sat at the captain's table," as if that were the height of the voyager s ambition. [{ is probably only one of the id osyncrasies that belong to women on ship-board, where, perhaps better than in most other places, these come lo light. As is usual the world over, brass buttons prove as attractive on ocean steamships as at an army post or on the policeman's beat, From Bridget in the kitchen to a lady of the haut monde, the natly suit of blue with the sheen of well-burnished metal plays havoc with the feminine contingent. So one of the types to be found on every ship is the woman who scrapes acquainlance with each uniformed man on board, and retails to admiring friends on Janding her Mirtations with the doctor or purser. To the student of human nature who finds the promen- ade deck an excellent field for observa- ticn, it is often a marvel that these be- sieged _genttamen respond with so nuch gallantry !o the advances that their admirers make openly. Undoubt- edly they must grow weary of never- ceasing adulation, and one can only conclude that they regard such gallan- fry as part of their method of carning a salary. CHATTER OF THE INDISCREET. Among other feminine foibles noted by the observing ocean voyager is the tendency to indiscreet chatter, If there is one place more than another where walls have ears it is on board ship. Even in the kind of summer cottage where partitions exten but three- fourths of the way to the ceiling it is nc easier to learn the most intimate details concerning your next-door neigh- bors. "Do you suppose," queried an inquisitive lady to a stewardess as she wuited for her bath to be filled, "that the stout woman in the room next to mine colors her hair?" "She does, madam," came an icy ycice from the next bath, rising above the hiss of the steam and the splash of the water, "and if you remind me later THl give you the name of the place in New York where I have it done. Your own needs improvement, I've noticed," But lessons like this have little or na effect upon the careless, Two wo- men in their steamer chairs were warned by a third that they were di- rectly underneath the windows of 4 stateroom, and that what they said might be . overheard. "What of #7" was the reply. "These people will never see us again." Feeling that way, wilh regard to one's fellow passengers, it is strange to dis- cover, among other types, the woman who aims at knowing as many pcople cr. board as she can scrape acquaint- ance with. She is in direct contrast to the opposite sort. who avoid meet- ing people as far as is possible with- cu' rudeness, "I never meet any one on board, except my table mates," said the wife of an American consul, who eresses frequently, On the other hand, there are those made seme of their pleasantest friends among their fellow passengers. The truth is that a reasonable amount «f friendliness is desirable, but that it 1s well fo beware of rushing into sudden intimacies. BY THE THIRD DAY OUT. By the third or fourth day out, the keen-wilted will have classified her fel- low travellers into the desirable and the undesirable, and will be glad ¢f opporiunilies for pleasant conversation with those desirables that chance throws in her way. The good-natured are apt to be victims of the bores who. infest the seatas well as the land. "How do you manage to do it?" asked a. distinct- ly vexed woman of her friend in the text steamer chair.
