The smoking room, where tem-
porarily missing husbands will be
found, is placed forward on the
promenade deck, immediately aft
of the pilot house. The mascu-
line character of this apartment
will be made apparent by its
hardwood finishings, tiled floors
and large, comfortable, leather-
cushioned chairs.
There are twelve rooms of
three berths each, to accommo-
date the intermediate passengers.
These are located aft on the spar
deck and are models of comfort,
convenience and neatness.
The steerage is forward on the
spar deck, with sanitary, com-
fortable and convenient arrange-
ments for 57 passengers.
The twin ships are noteworthy
in jKjsssesing the largest cargo
carrying capacity in the coast-
wise trade; they have, also, every
known devize for facilitating the
prompt loading and unloading of
freight. The placing in commis-
sion of these two large vessels
speaks volumes for the expand-
ing needs of the Savannah Line's
trade.

The winter frigidity cf New
York must be guarded against;
the balmy southern breeze allow-
ed full entrahce. Electricity has
solved the problem; it will cool
and ventilate the ooats ip Sum-
mer, and in winter the ventila-
tion system will be no l£ss per-
fect.
Fully loaded, the draft of the
“City of St. Louis,” like that of
her sister, will be 18 ft., 6 inches.
The holds below the draft line
are divided into water-tight com-
partments, making the vessels
unsin kable. They will carrv
ten suites de luxe of the “City
of St. Louis.”
These suites will contain each
a large bed-room and a private
bath; the latter dainty as white
tile and enamel can make them,
and furnished with hfit and cold
water, both salt and fresh. The
bed-rooms will possess high ceil-
ings, delicate tapestries, brass
beds, writing tables, settees, and
the daintiest of linen and bed-
ding.
It appears that the “Savannah
Line" has taken a shrewd look
ahead and furnished the sea-go-
ing traveler with luxuries he had
not, as yet, thought of demand-
ing for himself. It is safe to
predict that the sister ships will
create a clientele of their own,
too dainty and luxurious to travel
North or South in a stuffy Toll-
man. when ocean breezes and a

the passengers to whom a trip
Nm*th or South upon her was the
well-considered event of a life-
time.
Enter,* in haste, the new day
in which such a trip is one of the
joys of each recurring year.
Hence the “City of Montgom-
ery,” and now her sister, the
“Citv of St. Louis."

And certain it is, that no passen-

menu a better sauce than the
hunger engendered by the salt
sea breezes.
