Picking Their Company
Many persons who expect to cross
the ocean but once or twice in a life
time take care that they shall travel In
good company when they do cross re
marked the clerk In the steamship of
fice Every day we receive letters
from prospective voyagers asking for a
list of persons already booked for a
certain steamer If the list contains a
number of names of International re
pute the small fry engage passage on
that boat If not they choose one
where the company is more select
Somehow they fancy it will add inter
est to the account of their travels if
they are able to say that they crossed
the Atlantic on the steamer with
Prince This or Count That and when
ever possible they make a point of se
curing passage on a boat which carries
a lot of prominent persons New
