• The Swedes Love Superfluity
  By Susan Smith
  Author of 'Made in Mexico,' 'Made in America,' and 'The Glories of Venus'
  Illustrations by Sue Williams
  The Swedes love superfluity ... so one of my books on Sweden states --- one of the five hundred or so I seem to have collected in my room in Stockholm. Each one of them is more than a volume, it is a 'tome', as the Germans so love to say. Why do people write such immense books about Sweden, forgetting that there is a charge on all luggage over fifty kilos for the traveller? My books rise up on the floor like a great wall of Visby.
• Exotic Journey
  By Charles T. Trego
  Tonight we're in Hue, capital of Annam. We'll be here two nights for it's a tremendously interesting place. Our hotel is on the River of Perfumes! These names will drive me into sentimental hysteria! Just across the river is the forbidden city, surrounded by a colossal wall moat. The palace of the King of Annam is in this city. The King is in Paris just now, but he left his brace of wives and concubines behind.
• Don't Miss These!
  By R. Coldwell
  It is so easy to cross the ocean and miss, by a day, an important sports event, or native festival. it is just as easy to plan ahead and included these events in your itinerary. This article is presented in the interest of a richer experience for any of our readers going abroad this year.
• A New Paradise in the Balearics
  By Virginia Van Paterson

• Knitting: The New Deck Sport
  By Ruth Seder
  The smartest gear for shipboard is a hand knitted sweater worn with a tweed skirt. And we know of no better place to knit one than on shipboard, where you can have long, uninterrupted hours with your needles and yarn.

  A Premier, A Sportsman, and An Author
  Pictorial on Who's traveling on the Cunard Line
• Travel Guides and Companions
  In the old days of 'Keeping Up With The Joneses' such things couldn't have been. The populace wouldn't have been interested in reading travel books interspersed with 'thus you need spend only ten cents for this whole evening of wonderful entertainment,' or 'this was the best third class trip I have ever taken in Continental Europe.' Emphasis was all on paté de foie gras and trains bleus.
