While the Canadian Pacific has excellent facilities for independent travel, there are so many attractive features about a cruise that it is easy to decide. Every detail for your comfort and entertainment is arranged months in advance by experts who know every angle of cruising. From the moment you go aboard, the Empress is your home for the entire trip. You can put your clothes away in your stateroom and send your empty trunks to the baggage room. There is no continual packing and unpacking on a cruise—just the few articles required for the excursions on shore. There are no hotel or train reservations for you to worry about, as everything has been attended to. You also avoid the discomforts of having to travel on small local steamers to say nothing of the delays frequently experienced as a result of their uncertain departures. Our arrangements for sightseeing in high-class motor cars are ideal and you are not at the mercy of unscrupulous drivers. Furthermore, you see everything that is worth seeing and no time is Wasted on unimportant places. For those who like to be free to find their own way "around town", time for independent action is usually arranged at the principal ports, in addition to the regular cruise program of sightseeing. Then there is that congenial companionship and those delightful friendships which predominate on a cruise. Everyone is carefree and happy, and when it comes to the end of the cruise you reluctantly say good-bye, wishing in your heart that you were just starting out. And with all these advantages your expenses are considerably less than to make the same trip independently. People are more and more coming to appreciate the great convenience of the modern apartment house, where all responsibilities are carried by the management, and family life is conducted with none of the cares of maintaining a private house. And so it is with travel. People of means, some of whom have private yachts, prefer to go cruising in the big ocean liners, where all the cares and worries are on the shoulders of an efficient organization and the traveller is left free to indulge in the pleasures of cruising. Cruising has truly become an institution of present-day life. '-- II Ti ml mi i Miami m CANADIAN PACIFIC The Cruise With included Excursions At each port there will be a comprehensive program of sightseeing and trips into the interior will be made at several places, as outlined in the following pages, all of which are included in the fare for the cruise. At each point visited a competent staff of guides will be on hand, the best motors or carriages available and special trains engaged, and where noted, meals and rooms at principal hotels provided for. Every detail has been carefully planned and arranged in advance to make every moment of the shore excursions count. New York Jb or the Empress of Scotland cruise, embarkation will commence at 10 a.m., February 3, and the ship will sail at 4 p.m. For the Empress of France cruise, embarkation will commence at 9 a.m., February 13, and the ship will sail at 12 noon. Members may make their deck chair reservations at the Information Rureau any time during the ship's stay in New York. k\. m&& m at* *m mi mi 'm^Jm. wsz: '^9Kk^ &. A thrill awaits you at the first port—Madeira—sliding down the mountain 8 MEDITERRANEAN CRUISES Madeira FUNCHAL EMPRESS OF SCOTLAND FEBRUARY 10 and 11 EMPRESS OF FRANCE FEBRUARY 20 and 21 Jl erhaps because this is the first of the sunshine ports, or perhaps because it's so unexpectedly novel and charming, Madeira is likely to remain the gayest flower in your bouquet of cruise memories. After two hours of skirting its rugged shores, at sundown we swing into a startlingly beautiful harbor cradled in purple mountains, with the pink and blue and white toy-town of Funchal climbing in terraces from the quaint stone quay. Little boats swarm around, and diving boys beg for silver. One will dive from our deck, under the liner and up on the other side, a truly impressive feat, for a dollar. Tonight we will attend a ball given for the English and Portuguese winter residents. Getting there offers the first of Madeira's exclusive thrills, a carroe ride. A carroe is a cross between a bobsled and a four poster bed with canopy and chintz curtains. Two bullocks furnish the motive power. A boy runs ahead and a man runs alongside, both shouting Portuguese warnings around sharp corners and up narrow walled streets, with laughing children showering tropical flowers into your lap. It's a tremendously flattering sensation. The Casino is perched on a cliff in a lovely tropical garden. Thousands of multi-colored lamps twinkle from every bush and palm. The warm night is scented with roses, heliotrope, bougainvillea and azaleas. It is fairyland, and in the Casino, lighted with immense crystal chandeliers, is more fairyland. Next day we may explore the treasure-filled 14th Century Cathedral, the old castle and fort, the markets. Then we take the rack-and-pinion railway up the wild, tropical mountainside to the Terreiro da Lucta Chalet and a stunning view of terraced valley and fairy-like Bay. The climax of all this novelty and fun is the slide back to town in the wicker basket sleds called carrinhos-do-monte. An exciting, laughable experience, and absolutely safe. Two men run alongside to guide the sled down the twisted corrugated path, between walls festooned with tropical vines, past women washing in the wayside streams, by quaint doorways and balconies. The four miles is made in twenty minutes and every foot will be a memory. The afternoon will be free to shop for the exquisite embroideries and lace that make this island famous, to lounge in the out-door cafes of the lively Prac da Constituicao, and to visit with the friendly Madeirans. who, as one woman said, just seem to adopt us. C A N A Dmi A N PACIFIC Cadiz SPAIN EMPRESS OF SCOTLAND FEBRUARY 13 to 15 EMPRESS OF FRANCE FEBRUARY 23 to 25 C<adiz is the busy port from which Columbus sailed to discover America, and where Americans land to discover Spain. It is a pleasant little city of 70,000, its houses calsomined in rainbow tints, rising out of the blue sea on a five-mile finger of land. Although this was the first Spanish settlement on the Atlantic, the "Tarshish" whose ships brought "gold and silver, ivory and apes and peacocks" to King Solomon, its countless sieges have wiped out nearly every trace of antiquity. It is sheer joy to ramble through the picturesque streets and promenades; 1838 Cathedral; rare Botanical Gardens; Academy containing masterpieces by Murillo, Rubins, Zurbaran, Valesquez; Capuchinos Convent; and mammoth Bull Ring. Carriages will be provided for visiting the points of interest in Cadiz and luncheon will be served at the hotel. One day will be devoted to an excursion to Seville by special train, leaving Cadiz in the morning, arriving Seville about noon. Seville, capital of sunny Andalusia, storied city of Carmen and Don Juan, of bull fights and fandangos and fiestas. But, as everybody knows, her mantillas are worn in the privacy of gorgeous patio-ed homes, her castinets and guitars are heard chiefly at carnival time. Some wag has said, if you want Spanish atmosphere you must go to Hollywood. But if you want the real Spain, come to Seville, the gayest, most attractive city in Spain. Down in the old Moorish quarters are streets too narrow for vehicles, donkeys so laden that only their heads and feet are visible, whitewashed walls flushed with Andalusian sunlight, grilled balconies and roofs ablaze with flowers. In the awning-covered market place, crowded with fruit stalls and picturesque citizens, the chaffering and gesticulating reaches an operatic pitch. And under the bright awnings of the Calle de las Sierpes, smart shopping arcade, the fashionables of Spain parade, shop, lounge in front of their clubs, and gossip round the tables of sidewalk cafes. Seville's Cathedral is St. Peter's only rival in size, so vast "that Notre Dame of Paris might walk about erect in the middle nave." Ninety-three stained glass windows, dazzling jewelled vestments, priceless paintings by her native son, Murillo, bronze sarcophagus of Columbus, and forest of graceful pillars, make this the most impressively beautiful Cathedral in all Christendom. 10 TLAND MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE FROM N 'ED JORDAN j OF GALILEE <</ ^ PLACES VISITED Included in Cruise Fare COUNTRIES NEW YORK U.S.A.

The Alcazar is the palace of Spanish kings since Ferdinand's conquest of the Moors in ]248. Its mosaics and fountains and gardens, its lacy stone arabesques, and richly adorned chambers, are almost equal to the Alhambra in beauty and story-interest. Motor cars and carriages will be provided at Seville to transfer members from the station to the principal hotels for luncheon, and in the afternoon for visiting the various places of interest. Dinner will be served at the hotel and special train will leave at 7.30 p.m., arriving Cadiz about 11 p.m. Facilities will be available for members who wish to spend an additional 24 hours in Seville at a slight extra charge—see page 78.

And there it is, looking just like its pictures, but instead of the.famous sign there are rows of galleries, the famous gun emplacements. The Bock is about 3 miles long, % mils wide, rises to 1400 feet, and is crowned with a signal station. This impregnable stronghold is literally honeycombed with tunnels and gun galleries, 105 miles of them, and bristles with heroic history. A modern, lively little town clings to the lower slope. Here we see our first bare-legged Moors in flowing robes and red fez, Spaniards, colorful Hindus and Nubians, squads of soldiers, military officers, and typical London "Bobbies." This is our first taste of the Mediterranean's fascinating racial medley. In quaint old curtained fiacres we wind in and out over The Bock: to the fortifications, sub-tropical Gardens, ancient Moorish Castle of 711, erroneously dedicated to the God of Peace, and Bosia Bay's marvelous view of the harbor. One's free time in the afternoon may be spent in a trip across or around the Bay to the gay little Spanish resort of Algericas for Tea, or in bargaining for Oriental treasures brought here, duty-free, from Morocco, Egypt, India, China, Japan, and everywhere—at the lowest prices of anywhere. The Sleeping Giant—Gibraltar—as it appears in the morning mist 13 so o a u O o S 3 I MEDITERRANEAN CRUISES Algiers ALGERIA EMPRESS OF SCOTLAND FEBRUARY 18 EMPRESS OF FRANCE FEBRUARY 28 Algiers shines like a celestial city, poised between turquoise sea and sky. Around the harbor, on a high'scalloped terrace, runs the grand Boulevard de la Bepublique, with its facade of handsome stone buildings as uniform as a row of huge marble honeycombs. Above these rise the flat roofs and minarets of the old Moorish city, then the lavish villas and hotels of Mustapha Superieur, the modern European suburb. Crowning the highest point is the Kasbah, citadel of the Deys, with the snowy peaks of the Atlas mountains for a back-drop. It was France who, only a hundred years ago, finally rid the seas of the terrible Barbarossa pirates and turned their stronghold into an African Paris, French shops, famous restaurants and hotels, chefs, and all. Yet immediately behind this smiling front one steps back ten centuries into the real city of the Corsairs. Streets so narrow a man on a donkey would block the way. Shadowy Moorish doorways and overhanging balconies. Shafts of blinding sunlight, and dim culs-de-sac. Mouldering hole-in-the- wall shops. A jostling bedlam of donkeys, goats, children;veiled women, Moors,Bedouins, sheiks; squabbling, smoking, snake- charming, sleeping, eating, praying. Picturesque, yes and smelly! B ut you wouldn't have missed it for the world. A city of violent contrasts and conflicting emotions; that sets your senses to pounding with her mystery and color; that entrances you with her gem-like villas, smart international crowd, and Arabian Nights' setting.

And yet, here it is, Spam's little Paradise in the Balearic Isles. No one hurries; there are no dirty, pitiful beggars; no discourtesies; no striving industry; no social problems. Happy idlers sleep in the caressing sun all day. A black robed watchman with a lantern still goes around calling the hours of night. Drinking water is still hawked through the streets in ancient stone jars. An enchanted atmosphere of friendliness, light-hearted peace and serene indifference to progress pervades the place. Even the ubiquitous donkeys seem happier, healthier, cleaner here. Palma, the Capital, with her bright colored houses and tropical gardens, looks like a great bouquet in the blue bowl of her harbor. Gay felucas and nondescript craft bob gently at the wharf. Along the water-front bronzed fisher-folk in red caps and richly hued old velveteen suits mend their nets, and lunch, and gossip. Palma's two architectural gems, the massive buttressed Cathedral, and the delicately lovely Lonja, reflect their weathered golden glow in the still water. While up the mountain side climb narrow Moorish streets that twist between superb old palaces through whose doorways, hospitably open, one catches tantalizing glimpses of the fountains, flowers, graceful arches and balconies of luxurious patios. There are several clubs and hotels in Palma and many things to see, besides the 13th Century Cathedral built by Jayme the Conquistador. The ornate baroque beauty of the Casa de Cort and Church of San Felio. The Moorish baths, for Palma was to the Moors what Pompeii was to the Bomans. Porco-Pi's marvelous cave and aquarium containing that fabulous creature, an octopus. Bellver, the veritable ideal of a medieval castle—moat, grating from which to pour boiling water on unwelcome callers, draw-well, great fireplace that roasted oxen whole, and everything. Magnificent motor roads dip and soar over the luxuriant mountains to Valldemosa, Miramar, Soller—what names! What places! What a contrast to Algeria! This being our first visit here we may expect a special welcome from the friendly Malloreans. 17 CANADIAN PACIFIC Palermo SICILY EMPRESS OF SCOTLAND FEBRUARY 21 EMPRESS OF FRANCE CALLS AT MESSINA JT alermo, at this writing, is one of the most intensely picturesque places in the Mediterranean. But dear knows what will have been accomplished by this time tomorrow. So let us see it today, while February's almond blossoms perfume the soft warm air. To understand the Sicilian temperament, one must realize that they have been born in the haunts of gods and giants, cradled in the bosom of earthquakes, fought over by Phoenicians, Goths, Greeks, Arabs, Normans and others, and nurtured under a blissful tropic sun. In Palermo's modern section are European shops, smart hotels, and local grandees in Paris frocks. But up in the old section is all that exhilarating flow of oriental life that artists and writers love. A lad in embroidered coat and gay shirt, dictating his ardent love to a professional letter writer. Angelina in bright shawl .and voluminous apron, lighting candles before a corner shrine. Gesticulating Sicilians in a market odorous with centuries of fruit and vegetables. Goat-herders driving their flocks from door to door, the poor goat often scrambling up several flights of stairs to be milked directly into the housewife's pitcher. Vendors festooned with trinkets. Bambinos and baskets of vegetables dangling in the air on the way up to top floor apartments. A peasant family in a gaudy cart with Bible stories painted on the panels, and fantastic ornaments of cock feathers nodding two or three feet above the horse's head. Aside from the brilliant mosaic of Sicilian life, there are sights worth crossing several oceans to see. The Byzantine Cathedral. The Boyal Palace, begun by the Saracens two centuries before the Normans came in 1060. The National Museum, if only for a look-in. The Capella Palatina, with a chapel literally covered from floor to dome with jewelled mosaic and gold. And the famous Cathedral of Monreale, built in 1176, the days of Tancred the Crusader and Manfred the King. Its magnificent cloisters, its acres of Saracen mosaics, and its views from the old gardens, make this one of the beauty spots of the world. Carriages will be provided in the morning for visiting the points of interest. Luncheon will be served at the leading hotels and in the afternoon there will be a motor trip to Monreale. 18 -*;*$.■ CANADIAN PACIFIC Messina SICILY EMPRESS OF FRANCE MARCH 3 EMPRESS OF SCOTLAND CALLS AT PALERMO " J. he most beautiful spot in the world." You hear it oftenest perhaps of Taormina. Her lure is that of superb vistas, of exquisite fragments of the past, and of earthly beauty that intoxicates. The approach to Messina, her nearest port, is one of the thrills of our cruise. Stromboli, an island volcano, rises sheer from the sea, a dark cloud of steam hovering over her cone, a regular eruptive thunder bursting from her heart which, Sicilians say, is the abode of Aeolus, god of winds. At night the scene is magnificent, awesome. Periodic outbursts of flame issue from her reddened mouth, and livid serpents of lava wind down her sides. Stromboli has been erupting harmlessly for 2000 years. The Straits of Messina, through which we pass twice on our way to and from Naples, are immortalized by Ulysses' ancient adventures and lately revivified by Halliburton's modern imitation. Here we see the once dreaded whirlpool of Charybdis and the rock of Scylla, a beautiful sea nymph changed by jealous Circe into a ravenous monster who seized and devoured sailors. Messina is modern. We shall hurry away by special train to Taormina, which still has a "Street of Octavious Caesar. "Public fountains where barefoot women fill graceful old Grecian urns. Townspeoplein the gay ancestral costume. Flowers of every conceivable color. Artists. One main street lively with tourist shops. Gorgeous old palaces and monasteries converted into hotels de luxe, where we shall have luncheon. Much history has flowed over Taormina in 2200 years but, as Clara Laughlin says, nobody wants to hear about it. Sufficient unto the day are the opalescent tints flushing sea and mountain, the music of the distant surf, the dreams hovering among the crumbling arches and grass- grown tiers of the ancient Boman amphitheater. Away to the south, snowcapped Etna innocently waves her plume again, while Vulcan forges more thun-. derbolts in her rumbling throat. charming young *icily • lli< 20 ITALY EMPRESS OF SCOTLAND FEBRUARY 22 and 23 EMPRESS OF FRANCE MARCH 4 and 5 W hen the early Bomans rebuilt the town of Parthenope, named after the siren who drowned herself in despair at failing to lure Ulysses to his doom, they called it "the New City," Neapolis. In the last few years, Naples has again become a new city. Modified somewhat but not lost is that intensity of smell and color and joy beloved of visitors. Naples is orderly, industrious. "Viva Mussolini," as the house signs now say. But the incomparable Bay is just as it always was, its power to thrill undimmed. its beauty divinely indescribable. The crescent city, like an ephemeral rainbow floating in limpid space, the vivid dome of Italian skies, the cobalt sea studded with isles, and Vesuvius steaming over all. The most beautiful Bay in the world. But if much of the glamour and romance of Neapolitan life has faded, the visitor's life is easier. Streets are no longer jammed with beggars and goats and children. Shops and hotels are better, more reasonable. A new motor road reaches to Pompeii. And new excavations daily add fascinating details to the life of this early Boman pleasure resort, destroyed by Vesuvius in 79 A.D. The new discoveries are being left in their original places. So that now we see the home furnishings, the baths,the shops, even the bread left baking in the oven, almost as it was an hour before it was buried nearly 2000 years ago. One might as well go to Cairo and not see the Sphinx, as come to Naples and not see the Museum, the Villa Nazionale, and the Forum buzzing with news of the day. There are many other sights in Naples unless one prefers such feasts of beauty as the famous Amalfi Drive; Sorrento the magnificent, where troubadours in their old-time costumes still dance the tarantella and sing the wooing songs of Italy—"0 Sole Mio," "Lucia," "Funicoli, Funicola"—as only Italians can sing on a perfumed Mediterranean night. Memories that thrill and ravish so long as memories last. Motor cars will be provided for a half-day drive around Naples. Another half-day will be devoted to an excursion to Pompeii. There will be an optional excursion by special train to Borne and Florence, rejoining the ship at Venice—see page 80; also optional excursions to Caserta and Vesuvius—see pages 80 and 82. For additional optional excursions to Amalfi and Sorrento, etc., see details of second call at Naples on page 46. CANADIAN PACIFIC Venice ITALY EMPRESS OF SCOTLAND FEBRUARY 26 and 27 EMPRESS OF FRANCE MARCH 8 and 9 " J. hroned on the turquoise of her wide lagoon, Venice sits dreaming of her ancient splendors. In the rippling harbor her islands shine like pale amethysts in the morning light, and the color of her palaces is mirrored in broken beauty on the bosom of the sea." You have heard about her gondolas, and canals that take the place of streets. You've seen paintings of her Doges Palace, and read rhapsodic stories of life in her gilded setting. Yet still Venice dawns upon you as fresh and irridescent as a bubble. Unprofaned by neighboring commerce. Transcending all expectation. Venetian mornings are made for scooting about in a gondola; for exploring the matchless Basilica of St. Marks and the Campanile; for visiting the pink and gilt Doges Palace, looking through the arches of the loggia across the magic isles to the daring, sophisticated summer resort of the Lido; for taking pictures of The Bridge of Sighs, of Santa Maria through a forest of painted gondola posts, of the Bialto, thronged as in the Merchant of Venice. Afternoons are for feeding the pigeons in the sunny Piazza; for buying exquisite Venetian lace and beads; for opera and the pictures in the famous galleries; and for tea in the Boyal Danieli, another doge's palace, favorite hotel of English Sirs and Ladies, French stars, enraptured artists, Italian officers, and other important personages. But evenings—ah, that's the time to drift idly upon the Grand Canal, so still that the pink and cream buildings seem to rise from the limitless depths, while sky and water blend from azure to gold and rose, from rose to amethyst, and indigo. As the songs of the church bells cease and the lights come glimmering out across the lagoon, a mandolin chimes in with the soft lapping of the water, and floating concerts glide by, the gondolieri holding hands to keep the boats together. Whether you drift on here, or dance in the smart hotels, or seek the coffee houses of the lively San Marco where a dozen bands play, you'll never be the same again. Venice bewitches you. Members will be conducted by guides to the principal points of interest, and there will also be a three-hour gondola ride. Luncheon and tea will be served at the hotels on the first day. The second day will be free for independent action. 24 Doges Palace and Bridge of Sighs—Venice CANADIAN PACIFIC Dubrovnik JUGO-SLAVIA EMPRESS OF SCOTLAND MARCH 1 EMPRESS OF FRANCE MARCH 11 J. he walled city of Dubrovnik seems the crystallized dream of medieval romance days. One half expects the great gates to swing open and an armored knight to come dashing forth on a white charger—which wouldn't be practical, of course, because Dubrovnik's mighty ramparts rise straight out of the blue Adriatic. Shut within the mellowed walls are the red tile roofs, narrow streets, stately cloisters, quaint old markets, of a city that miraculously held its independence against all Mediterranean powers, from Epidaurus to Napoleon, and is still called Bagusa in spite of its new after-the-war name. There are architectural wonders to be visited in the morning: the Palace of the Bectors, the Sponza or Mint, the Cathedral, the Franciscan and Dominican monasteries. But, oh the costumes and color and "atmosphere" of Dubrovnik! Weather-beaten peasants with twinkling eyes, gorgeously embroidered vests, red sashes and pancake turbans. Olive-skinned, dark-eyed beauties in full skirts, brilliantly embroidered jackets, and beaded girdles that make wonderful souvenirs. Pigeons fluttering around the sunny piazzas. Shops dazzling with silks, embroideries, hand-wrought jewelry and armor. The harbor is a jumble of masts and colored sails and painted fishing boats, each with a crew of buccaneers straight from the chorus of the Jolly Boger. Dubrovnik the most bewildering and satisfying splash of "local color" outside a musical comedy. In the afternoon we take a water stroll along the shores of the lovely Dalmatian Biviera, and up the magnificent Bay of Kotor which many travellers declare excels the fjords of Norway. Wonderful old palaces, crumbling Boman fortresses, quaint villages, cling along the rugged shores of this winding mountain channel. Where it widens into a Bay the little medieval town of Kotor (Cattaro) nestles at the foot of snow-capped Mount Lofcen, and way up somewhere among the eagles' eyries jugo-siav in Native Costume is the stormy land of Montenegro. 26 -a* CANADIAN PACIFIC Corfu GREECE EMPRESS OF SCOTLAND MARCH 2 EMPRESS OF FRANCE MARCH 12 -Here is another new port, to surprise the many who cruise with us year after year; a port so neglected by the tourist tide that few know where to find it on the map. Corfu is the verdant little island off the coast of Albania, in the Ionian Sea. She entered history's pages in 664 B.C. with the first recorded naval battle, and that against her mother city, Corinth. Her people are Grecians who look like Italians, and many bear titles dating back to the days of Venetian occupancy in the 18th Century. Corfu's charm for us lies in her quaint customs; her pastoral beauty immortalized by the old Greek poets; and her opalescent blends of color —from the drowsy green-and-gold Bay lapping musically at the cliff- bound shore, to the delicate pinks and blues of the Albanian mountains. For customs, new-born babies are dipped in wine and tagged with amulets. Shepherds wear the classic sheepskin coats, white cotton leggings and sandals with high-pointed, curved-up toes. Women and children help till the vineyards. Peasants and shopkeepers "barter" their products, the entire family joining in the staccato transaction. For sights there are the interesting city of Gasturi, with its old .ruined Citadel overlooking the harbor; the Boyal Gardens of the King of Greece; the white marble palace, Achilleion, of the unfortunate Austrian Empress Elizabeth; and, on a short drive through the heart of the island, the medieval convent of Paleo Castrizza, and the ancient stronghold of St. Angelo, with a glimpse of the tiny isle Pontikonisi said to be the ship of Ulysses which Poseidon turned into stone. Tlii'- tiny Island of Pontikonisi. off Corfu, is familiar to many through Bosklin's famous picture "The Island of Death" Keystone View Co. 28 CANADIAN PACIFIC Athens GREECE EMPRESS OF SCOTLAND MARCH 4 EMPRESS OF FRANCE MARCH 14 xes, it's just as you have dreamed of seeing it. Unmodernized. Unspoiled. But incredibly lovelier. There beyond the prow of our Empress as she glides into Phaleron Bay, rises the rugged Acropolis with the slender columns of the Parthenon shining white against the violet hills. Landed in the little port we speed by motor car through pastoral countryside to the city, then straight to the shrine of our dreams, the ancient citadel. Only on the west side is it accessible. We enter through the Buele gate and ascend the broad marble stairs up which once wound triumphal processions with their spoils of war and sacrificial offerings. To the right stands the exquisite little Temple of Nike, Goddess of Victory, wingless, lest victory depart from Athens. Within the Propylaea, that marvelous double-winged gateway, still stands a forest of shrines and statues. Here is the beautiful Erectheum with its famous porch of marble maiden pillars, the Caryatides. And crowning the summit of the Acropolis, that glorious yellow marble Parthenon. Not the oldest, nor the largest of ruins. But the most impressive bits of beauty that ever came from man's hands. Far below spreads a marvelous panorama. The marble city of modern Athens, and beyond, the bays of classic naval encounters. Nearby is Mars Hill, where the Apostle Paul preached to those "who spent their time in nothing else but to tell and to hear of some new thing." Across the little stream Ilissus, on the spot where the first marathon runner gasped out his news of victory, lies the marble Stadium where 60,000 view the modern Panathenaic games. The royal palace and gardens. Theatre of Dionysius where were played the classics of Sophocles and Euripides. Temple of Zeus. A thousand trophies of the "Golden Age" that you must see and hear the stories of. Apart from the Athens of mythology and history and art is the decidedlymodernAthens of sporty races, gambling casinos, dance places, smart shops, theatres and hotels and lifeandmusic andexcite- ment. One may have a very gay time indeed in Athens. ■Ifffllp^iil _^ Th« Parthenon is one of great attractions Athens 30 CANADIAN PACIFIC Constantinople TURKEY EMPRESS OF SCOTLAND MARCH 6 and 7 EMPRESS OF FRANCE MARCH 16 and 17 1 he early riser catches the choicest views, this morning, as our Empress passes the guardian castles of the Dardanelles and noses up between Asiatic towns and castles and fortresses. On one side, the excavations of ancient Troy, immortalized by Homer's "Iliad." Beyond, the place where Leander swam the Hellespont to his lovely Hero. Gallipoli, with perhaps a glimpse of a transport and cruiser sunk during the Great War. Then the thousand domes and minarets of old Stamboul silhouetted against a sunset sky. A scene of unfailing, breath-catching beauty; one of the fairest on earth. Constantinople, like all Gaul, is divided into three parts. On the Asia side of the Bosporus is Scutari. On the European side is the modern Pera-Galata with its beautiful embassies and marble palaces, its hotels and shops and theatres. The famous Galata bridge, where one may watch the nations of the earth come and go, crosses the Golden Horn to Stamboul. This is the old Byzantium. Moslem, but without her red fezzes and veiled women. Stamboul dates back to 660 B.C. Here are the Great Wall and Subterranean Cisterns, the old Sultan's palace with its Bagdad-ian hangings and evil tales. Here is the Great Bazaar, a maize of tortuous streets crowded with Turks and Nubians and Moors and donkeys and carts, its 4000 tiny shops hung with gorgeous silks and rugs, scimitars and fezzes and glittering jewels. Millions of dollars change hands here every day. A dazzling, irresistible place. Here too are the countless mosques that point their white fingers to heaven and from which flutter down the frequent "Haya ila el salah" calling the faithful to prayer. The most popular objective of visitors is the great Mosque of St. Sophia, where they don felt slippers and shuffle around in the "dim religious light" among the 107 soaring columns (eight from the Temple of Diana at Ephesus, eight from the Temple of the Sun at Baalbek). Aya Sophia was rebuilt in the sixth century at a cost of over sixty million dollars, and looks every cent of it, although the gold leaf now begins to crumble and its richest treasures have gone to the conquerors. Motor cars will be provided for a comprehensive drive in and around the city, and luncheon will be served at the leading hotels In the afternoon a visit will be made to the bazaars. 32 CANADIAN PACIFIC Beirut SYRIA EMPRESS OF SCOTLAND MARCH 10 EMPRESS OF FRANCE MARCH 20 Jjeirut was founded by Saturn, father of Zeus. To the north, along the Biver Adonis, gods and goddesses celebrated their loves. On the inner harbor, a ruined church marks the spot where the sun-god, or Perseus, or maybe St. George, slew the dragon that exacted an annual sacrifice of the city's most beautiful virgin. At least, so mythology says. Authentic history begins with the invasion of Barneses II of Egypt, and of Sennacherib of Assyria, whose inscriptions are carved on the cliffs of Dog Biver, just outside the city. From the cape you can see Tyre and Sidon, on a coast historically ancient before the time of Abraham. All of which pales into insignificance at the sight of our first camel caravan and our first Bedouin camp. Arabs call this "The Left Hand Land," and left-hand it seems. The Syrians write from left to right, nod up instead of down, men greet each other with a kiss, keep their hats on in the house but take their shoes off, wear the skirts while women wear the trousers, and are called by the name of their first born son. The city itself seems European, but packed with Oriental life. Beirut is the educational centre of the Near East, its schools and missions giving modern education to 20,000 Syrian youths. In the brilliant Syrian sun the mountains of Lebanon, which almost back the city into the Bay, seem flooded with color, from their snowcapped summits down the deep purple gorges and silvery olive groves to the yellow sands of the beach. Motor cars will be provided for a half-day drive around the city and through the Lebanon Mountains. Half a day will be free for independent action. Behind the first range of Lebanons, Baalbek. The ancient Heliopolis of the Greeks. City of the sun-god. Temple of Bacchus. Colossal structures, visible for twenty miles. Eighty-foot columns, graceful as the Parthenon. 1000-ton blocks of stone, the largest ever quarried by hand. Behind the second range of Lebanons, Damascus. Oldest city in the world. Most untouched by Western influence. Moslem bazaars, customs, life, just as they were centuries ago. The Apostle Paul's "Street called Straight." A teeming, fantastical. Oriental city. An optional excursion will be available for members who desire to motor from Beirut to Baalbek, Damascus, Biver Jordan, Capernaum, Tiberias, Sea of Galilee, Nazareth and Jerusalem, rejoining the ship at Haifa—see page 82. 34 CANADIAN PACIFIC Palestine, The Holy Land EMPRESS OF SCOTLAND MARCH 11 to 17 EMPRESS OF FRANCE MARCH 21 to 27 X alestine is a land whose aspect and associations must profoundly stir the imagination and reverence of every visitor. For most of u's it is the emotional climax of our cruise. For all of us it will make the Bible glow with new meaning and reality. Vociferous, fezzed and pantalooned boatmen swarm around our ship as we anchor under the shadow of Mount Carmel, where Elijah challenged the 400 prophets of Baal. Just north are the rugged battlements of Acre, landing place of the Crusaders. And four hours away is the religious Mecca of the world. Jerusalem is a city within walls. Built on four hills, 2500 feet above sea level. Over 4000 years old. Destroyed and rebuilt at least sixteen times. For 1000 years under the devastating hand of Moslem. Yet today an amazingly accurate picture of Biblical times except that it is pleasantly cleaner, less littered, under General Allenby's regime since the Great War. The streets of David and Damascus divide the city into quarters, occupied respectively by Mohammedans, Armenians, Christians and Jews. Passing through the dark narrow alleys, surging with a hetero- genious mob of Arabs, camels, donkeys, and bearded patriarchs, it is easy to see, in imagination, the Gentle Saviour stopping to touch the eyes of poor blind beggars; to feel something of the boundlessness of a love that offered itself to unlovely, suffering humanity; to appreciate the courage that proclaimed so revolutionary a message to so passionate, frenzied a people. Outside the Jaffa Gate is the up-to-date, clean, bustling city of Tel-Avid, centre of the Zionist movement that is fast restoring the wastes of Palestine to their ancient milk and honey fertility. It is impossible to mention half the absorbing places we shall see in and around Jerusalem. There is the beautiful Mosque of Omar, on the site of Solomon's temple and of Herod's Temple which Jesus cleansed of its money-changers. The ancient Wailing Wall from which rises, at all hours, the fervid sobs and wails of venerable Israelites bewailing her vanished glories and praying for the redemption of Jerusalem. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, originally built by Queen Helen, mother of Constantine, and filled with sacred memorials. The magnificent view from Olivet, where Jesus wept over Jerusalem. 36 CANADIAN PACIFIC At all hours of the day, the faithful may be found at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem Bethlehem, peaceful little City of David, with shepherds on the Plains of Jericho, as of old. Lovely old Garden of Gethsemane, with probably the same gnarled olive trees that bowed above the agonizing Saviour. If, during the tumultuous years, some confusion has arisen regarding certain historic locations, there is no uncertainty about most of them, and all are within reasonable proximity. We will leave behind us in the Holy Land perhaps some of our illusions but assuredly a little piece of our heart as well. The Jerusalem excursion will be conducted in two parties. Members leave Haifa in the morning by special train for Jerusalem, arriving there shortly after noon. Two and a half days will be spent in Jerusalem with accommodation and meals at the hotels. All points of interest will be visited; motor to the Mount of Olives and Bethlehem. There will also be an included motor trip to Gethsemane, Bethany, Jordan Valley, Jericho, Dead Sea and the Biver Jordan. The remaining time is free for independent action at Haifa or for taking optional excursions. The following optional excursions will be available: By motor car from Haifa to Tiberias, Sea of Galilee and Nazareth—see page 84. By special train from Jerusalem to Cairo—see page 90. By special train from Jerusalem to Cairo, thence Nile Biver steamer to Luxor, Thebes and Karnak—see page 86. 38 CANADIAN PACIFIC Cairo EGYPT EMPRESS OF SCOTLAND MARCH 18 to 28 EMPRESS OF FRANCE MARCH 28 to APRIL 7 iVlosT fascinating and varied city in the world, Cairo. Not the oldest nor the largest. But to and fro on its streets pass Egyptians, Bedouins, turbanned Hindus, and curly-haired blacks, in their vivid robes. And in its modern section the fashionables of all nations live in splendor and gaiety exceeded nowhere on earth. We land at Port Said, meeting place of East and West, once the wickedest port in the world. Four hours by special train brings us to Cairo. Here it would be thrill enough just to sit on the terrace at one of the luxurious hotels, watching the picture-book types and talking to the serio-comic dragomen across the rail. But curiosity pulls us into the street where the jubilant vendors swarm- around, shouting and dangling their treasures in our very faces. First, to the Citadel, built by Saladin in 1166 of stones pilfered from the Pyramids. And what a view! Of labyrinthine streets and mina- retted mosques, of round-domed tombs and triangle sails on the green Nile, of yellow Libyan desert and Pyramids bathed in sunset glow. Within the Citadel is the luminously beautiful alabaster Mosque of Ali, and nearby is the Mosque of Sultan Hassan with the tallest spire in the world. Then to the bazaars and "Streets of Cairo." Here, the wealth of the Orient in dazzling profusion. Snake-charmers performing on the side-walks. A jostle of camels and donkeys and goats. Arabs in flowing robes and ladies veiled to the eyes. Egyptians and Nubians squatting around hubble-bubble pipes. An exciting, colorful, magic sight. But chief of all thrills is the trh5 to the Pyramids, oldest, stupendous of Earth's monuments. We motor over the desert charming Mena House resort and from there go camel-back sand-cart. The camel ride is half the fun of the trip and no trick at all, if you can remember to lean backward as the silly beast rises to his hind legs, and forward as he straightens up his front legs. The pyramids are overpowering, serene, unseeing, indifferent to our presence as to the ages, secret, mystifying! Nearby is the Sphinx, "a fabulous monster which asked you riddles you couldn't answer and then devoured you for punishment—which hardly seems fair." Among the things not to be missed are a night in the desert, a 40 most to the by 01 The Sphinx showing forcpaws which were recently excavated CANADIAN PACIFIC moonlight sail on the Nile; the old Boman fortress of Babylon with its Coptic (Christian) churches; Mosque of 'Amr (oldest in Egypt) with its many interesting features including "The Needle's Eye" through which all true believers and honest must be able to squeeze; and the National Museum of Antiquities with its mementos of 7000 years, and the El-Azhar Mosque where 7000 Mohammedan youths sway and chant at their Koran. The pleasure of visiting Egypt may be greatly enhanced by a trip on the Biver Nile to Upper Egypt in steamers which rival in comfort the finest hotels or private yachts. Into the Valley of the Kings, near Thebes which is on the west bank of the Nile opposite Luxor, have come, at intervals during the past 100 years, archaeological expeditions financed and directed from different parts of the world. Many of them have made important discoveries, but the greatest of interest to-day is the recent discovery of the tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen. The program in Cairo covers four half-days of sightseeing, and the following optional excursions will be available: By sleeping car train from Cairo to Luxor, Thebes and Karnak, thence Biver Nile steamer to Assuan and the First Cataract —see pages 90 to 94. By sleeping car train from Cairo to Luxor, Thebes and Karnak —see pages 102 to 105.

There will be an optional excursion by motor car over the famous Amalfi-Sorrento Boad—see page 105. Leaving Naples, the road winds up the back of the mountain and eventually Amalfi is reached where luncheon is served at the Hotel Capuccini Convent. The view from the balcony of this hotel is not to be excelled for scenic beauty. The steep rugged coast and the azure blue of the Mediterranean complete a perfect panorama. Sorrento, where tea is served, is visited on the return trip and the scenic effects reach a climax with a view of Vesuvius and the curving shore of the Bay of Naples. Facilities will also be available for those who wish to leave the cruise at Naples and travel overland to Paris via the Italian Lakes with a conducted party—see page 106. For the included excursions at Naples, see details of the first call on page 22. The famous Amalfi-Sorrento Drive reveals the beauty of the Mediterranean shore 46 • CANADIAN PACIFIC Monte Carlo MONACO EMPRESS OF SCOTLAND APRIL 1 and 2 EMPRESS OF FRANCE APRIL 11 and 12 And now for the only place that could climax this cruise of climaxes —the Biviera, world's most fashionable winter resort, at the crest of her glittering season. For the sake of analogy it is interesting to note that Monaco was once a Saracen pirate nest until conquered by the Genoan, Grimaldi, whose descendant still rules this tiny principality. His palace and grounds, Cathedral and Oceanographic Museum, crown the high, flat cape that dabbles her toes so daintily in the lapis lazuli sea. On the mainland, on the original "Plain of the Bobbers," sparkles the ravishing butterfly city of Monte Carlo. Here is the world's greatest gambling Casino, whose architectural glory someone has likened to the frosted castle on a wedding cake. Six millions of dollars change hands here every year. Tonight we see the tense, diamond-studded, international crowd beloved of fictionists, hovering around the gaming tables; may plunge as wildly or as mildly as we please. In the morning motors will be waiting for the most famous drive in all Europe, La Grande Corniche. It ascends to the old Boman town of La Turbie. It swoops and winds; now looking down over cerulean sea and jewel-like villas; now facing up to romantic old cliff-clinging strongholds, with the silvery Alps peeping over their tops; and finally, descending into Nice, the vivacious, in time for luncheon at the hotel. Then to the Promenade des Anglais, to watch theworldflow by! Movie queens and demimondes, Indian princes and diamonded dowagers, the smart, the famous, the amusing, the notorious of every nation, in costumes that will be fashionable next summer. Beturning through Villefranche and Beaulieu along the Cote d'Azur, we end this enchanted, sensuous day with tea on the terrace.

Seasons The enjoyment of a cruise largely depends upon visiting the various foreign countries at the right season for sightseeing, thus avoiding extreme heat and cold. A study of the itineraries opposite page 9 will show that we are departing from this country at midwinter and arriving at the Mediterranean ports in the height of the season, February and March being considered the ideal months for visiting these fascinating sections of the Old World. Xhe Arch of Triumph at Paris—the scene of many an imposing ceremony 50 i s h e « 9 .2* a a s e a « s a e H CANADIAN PACIFIC Stop over in Eur op < J. he cruise ends at Southampton and members will be furnished with: 1 Passage by any Canadian Pacific steamship from Liverpool, Southampton, Glasgow, Belfast, Cobh, Cherbourg, Antwerp or Hamburg. This will permit members to combine a European Tour with the Mediterranean Cruise.

Ri Customs Regulations .ETURNING Residents of the United States must declare all articles acquired abroad, in their baggage or on their persons, whether by purchase, by gift, or otherwise, and whether dutiable or free of duty. Exemption, however, will be allowed by customs officers of articles aggregating not over $100 in value, if suitable for personal or household use or as souvenirs or curios, and whether intended for personal use of the passengers or as gifts or presents to others, provided the articles are not bought on commission for another person nor intended for sale. Articles so exempt from duty must, nevertheless, be declared on the form which will be provided by the purser. Each member of the family is entitled to the exemption of $100 for articles purchased abroad of the character mentioned above. Articles of great value, such as expensive jewelry and sealskin garments, should not be taken on the cruise without first securing from the proper United States customs officer a certificate showing they were taken from the United States. - , CANADIAN PACIFIC Returning Residents of Canada are required to pay Canadian duty on all articles obtained abroad. All Members of the Cruise, regardless of nationality, are advised to be careful when leaving the cruise, to declare all dutiable articles when passing through European countries, including England. The fact that such members are merely in transit does not relieve them of this responsibility. Distinctive Features The Canadian Pacific 1930 Cruises have many distinctive features among which the principal are: Strictly first class—no other class carried Call at Palma Call at Sicily Call at Venice Call at Dubrovnik Cruise around the Bay of Kotor (Cattaro) Call at Beirut for included excursion, also optional excursion to Baalbek, Damascus, Capernaum, Tiberias, Sea of Galilee and Nazareth Seven days in Palestine Eleven days in Egypt Unusual privileges for homeward accommodation for those stopping over in Europe. And the Canadian Pacific Mediterranean Cruises have the added •advantage of the ship and the cruise being owned and operated by the one concern, thus affording a high standard of service throughout under one management. General Conditions X he Canadian Pacific acts only in the capacity of agent for the passenger in all matters relating to travel away from the Empress of Scotland or Empress of France, whether by steamship, railway, automobile, or any other means, and as such holds itself free of responsibility for any delay, loss, accident or sickness occasioned by fault or negligence of any person or company, or from whatever cause. The right is reserved to withdraw the cruise subject to refund of the net fare received by the company. Should it be deemed necessary or desirable by the management on any account to make changes in the itinerary or arrangement, or to omit any section of or port named in the program, such change may be made, and no passenger shall be entitled to compensation on such account. The right is also reserved to decline to accept or retain any person as a member of the cruise, at any time, but in such cases where money has been received the full or a proportionate amount will be returned, according to circumstances. In the possible contingency of quarantine, any additional expenses, living or otherwise, must be defrayed by the passenger. No refund can be made in the case of members wishing to omit any of the included shore excursions. 54 - "0 a a o 0 en a c A ja 9 o CO 13 o a < ia* CANADIAN PACIFIC The Empress of Scotland Xhe Empress of Scotland is the largest steamship on regular service between Canada and Europe. She has already made eight cruises and has proved herself to be particularly well adapted to the cruising service. Her accommodations are club-like, which means luxurious living. Her fuel is oil, which means cool cleanliness. The following details are of interest:— 25150 Tons Gross Begister 37700 Tons Displacement Length 699 feet; Breadth 77 feet Oil Fuel Quadruple Expansion Engines Speed 18 Knots 8 Decks for Passengers Elevator Gymnasium Staterooms The passenger accommodation is distributed over eight decks, but owing to the limited membership, only seven decks will be used on the cruise and six of these are served by an elevator. The staterooms are handsomely furnished and many have regular beds. Not more than two persons will be placed in a room unless by request. There are plenty of single rooms for those who prefer to be alone. Booms with private bath and toilet are provided in abundance, and there are suites consisting of bedrooms, sitting room, private bath and toilet. Plenty of bathrooms are available for passengers occupying the regular staterooms not having a private bath. All rooms have electric fans, and the ship is equipped with modern apparatus for forced ventilation. The air in the public rooms and staterooms is changed automatically everv few minutes without creatine a draught. Dining Saloon The Dining Saloon, situated on Deck F, is a particularly large and delightful room, capable of accommodating 426 people at one sitting, the tables being arranged for small parties of from two to six persons. This room is decorated in the Empire style in white and gold, the furniture being of mahogany upholstered in red morocco. The centre of the Dining Saloon has a large open well extending two decks in height. 56 CANADIAN PACIFIC Lounges The Lounge on Deck C is treated in the Louis XVI style, having a fine lay-light over the centre of the room. A large marble mantelpiece with a handsome mirror is fitted at the after end of the Lounge over the fireplace. The furniture is satinwood and includes many large settees and easy chairs. The Lounge on Deck D is in the Empire style, the decorations being carried out in white. Writing Rooms At the forward end of the Lounge is a Writing Boom in white also of the Louis XVI period. The furniture, artistically decorated, is of the Adam design. There is also a Writing Boom opposite the Cruise Office on Deck F. Ball Room The Ball Boom is situated at the forward end of Deck C, and is a very spacious room decorated in the Empire style, the walls being of inlaid satinwood with ormolu enrichments. There is a very fine floor of parquetry for dancing, an orchestra platform arranged in one corner and a refreshment buffet in the opposite corner. The furniture is satinwood. Card Room—Smoking Room The Card Boom and Smoking Boom are situated on Deck B and Deck C, the Card Room on Deck B being in the form of a broad balcony overlooking the Smoking Boom. These rooms are pleasantly decorated in Dutch style with oaken walls and ceiling beams and tiled frieze and their beauty is enhanced by old ship's lamps of the hanging type. A fine oak staircase with carved newel posts is situated at the forward end of the Smoking Boom, and over it are two very fine paintings. A handsome fireplace, over which are also two paintings, occupies the after end of the room. Leather-covered settees and easy chairs add greatly to the attractiveness of these rooms. Winter Garden At the forward end of Deck A there is a Winter Garden treated in white with green treillage on the walls, large casement windows and a fine dome light overhead. The floor is laid with parquetry and the furniture is of decorated wickerwork. Stone fountains with gilt cupids over them add to the beauty of this room. This room is a favorite rendezvous and is occasionally used for dancing. 58 CANADIAN PACIFIC Palm Garden The Palm Garden, located on Deck C, is also decorated in a treillage scheme of green and white, and furnished with wicker furniture. Promenade Space The three promenade decks provide ample space for deck chairs, promenading, deck sports and dancing. The forward end of Deck C is enclosed in portable glass screens, thus ensuring comfort on deck in all weather. The length of each space is 400 feet, which ensures abundance of room for promenading and for deck chairs. On an extensive cruise of this kind, sufficient promenade space is an essential feature, as a great many people prefer to spend the major portion of their time on deck. Gymnasium The Gymnasium is equipped with the latest appliances for affording health-giving exercise, including electrical horses, electrical camel, pulley weight machines, bicycle machine, weight lifting apparatus, weighing machine, electric massage machine, ribsball, wrist developing machines, chest developers, punching bag, rowing machine, boxing gloves, medicine balls, foils, sabres and spring bayonets. Begular classes are held daily and private lessons may be arranged with the Physical Instructor free of charge. Winter Garden—Deck A—Empress of Scotland 60 CANADIAN PACIFIC The Empress of France Of the large Canadian Pacific fleet of passenger ships there is none more admirably suited for a cruise than the Empress of France. The last word in modernism in her interior arrangements, she resembles a palatial hotel rather than an ocean steamship. She is one of the largest, finest and steadiest ships in the Atlantic service, and is the holder of the speed record between Quebec and Cherbourg— 5 days 14 hours 15 minutes. The following details are of interest: 18350 Tons Gross Begister 27500 Tons Displacement Length 600 Feet; Breadth 72 Feet Oil Fuel; Turbine Engines Quadruple Screws; Speed 19^ Knots Cruiser Stern 8 Decks for Passengers Elevator Gymnasium Staterooms The staterooms are distributed over five decks, but, owing to the limited membership, only four decks will be used on the cruise, and three of these are served by an elevator. The staterooms are handsomely furnished and the majority have regular beds. Not more than two persons will be placed in a room, except by request. There are many rooms with only one bed for those who prefer to be alone. Booms with private bath and toilet are provided in abundance, and there are suites consisting of bedrooms, sitting room, private bath and toilet. Plenty of bathrooms are available for members occupying the regular staterooms not having a private bath. All rooms have electric fans, and the ship is equipped with modern apparatus for forced ventilation. The Lounge—Ball Room is in the style designed by Sir Christopher Wren for the Boyal Apartments at Hampton Court Palace. The centre of the room is 18 feet high. At either end are paintings by George Lambert, the Australian artist, under which are fine carvings in the style of Grinling Gibbons, the well-known wood-carver. Very great care has been taken in the selection of the furniture, and all the colors and materials used in this and all the other apartments are in correct styles and designs of the periods represented. A handsome fireplace is situated at the forward end, and a specially fine mirror at the opposite end of the room. A carved trophy at one end is by Mark Bogers, one of the most celebrated wood-carvers in England. A special charm is given to this beautiful apartment by six large bow windows and a magnificent skylight extending its full length. 62 r-"Mai'J»w|M.4iiiia>»JtijiWM>!jt / 4m CANADIAN PACIFIC The Smoking Room of King James' period, is one of the most handsome rooms on any ship. It is in two tiers, and a special feature is the staircase leading to the balcony. The fireplace is copied from the celebrated example at Old Place,- Lindfield, Sussex. The furniture is copied from the well-known originals at Knole, Kent, the seat of Lord Sackville. The staircases and corridors are also in the early Jacobean style. The Library—Writing Room follows the decoration in vogue in the reign of William and Mary, and is reminiscent of some of the apartments of Kensington Palace. The book-cases in the room are copies of those in Pepy's Library, Magdalen College, Cambridge, which contains the celebrated Pepy's Diaries. The Drawing Room is a splendid reproduction of the decorative art of the Brothers Adam, who flourished at the end of the eighteenth century. The marble mantelpiece is a beautiful example of antique stone-work. This room is 20 feet long by 30 feet wide. The Dining Saloon is a room 60 feet long, 72 feet broad, oak-panelled in Jacobean style, the central portion being open with a spacious gallery all round and with a balcony for the orchestra at one end. Throughout, the wood-work has been treated to give the appearance of time- mellowed oak. A ceiling in low relief-plaster work, and furniture— replicas of antique Elizabethan models—complete a faithful representation of the Jacobean period. Seating is provided at small party tables. Eight alcoves arranged along the sides give an additional charm and coziness to the room. The Kitchens compare favorably with the best arrangements afloat or ashore. The most modern electrical and other appliances enable the staff to supply a perfect cuisine. The Canadian Pacific is famous throughout the world for the meals furnished on its steamships, and that high standard will not only be maintained on the cruise but will be excelled if possible. The Gymnasium is fitted with the latest appliances for affording health-giving exercise, including electrical horses, electrical vibrator, bicycles, sculling machine, electrical massage machine, Dowd exerciser, Swedish wall bars, weighing machine, medicine balls, fencing equipment and bucking horse. There will be classes for ladies and gentlemen and private appointments may be made with the instructor if desired, also appointments for fencing instruction. 64 CANADIAN PACIFIC General Information Fares £ ROM New York and return to New York, fares are from $900, according to location of stateroom.

Management The Empress of Scotland and Empress of France are owned and operated by the Canadian Pacific; the shore excursions are arranged and executed by the Canadian Pacific—one management ship and shore —one standard of service—the best. Canadian Pacific representatives, experienced in cruising, will accompany the cruises to attend to the comfort and entertaining of members aboard and ashore. Entertai nm e n t The hours aboard ship will pass all too quickly, as there will be so many interesting things to do—deck tennis, quoits, shuffleboard, sports tournaments, bridge, concerts, birthday parties, fancy dress and masquerade balls, dancing, gymnasium, lectures, fraternal meetings, camera club and moving pictures. The library will contain a special collection of books on travel, adventure and foreign countries. In addition a representative collection of all current literature will be placed on board, thus ensuring the latest publications being available. The Paris editions of American and English newspapers will be placed on board at various ports. Two high-class orchestras will be carried, one for classical music and the other for dancing. 70 CANADIAN PACIFIC The Directress of Entertainment and the Staff Captain will assist in arranging the various functions. Lectures will be delivered before arrival at many ports, by an interesting globe-trotter, who is thoroughly familiar with the history and customs of each country visited. Facilities The Empress of Scotland and Empress of France have every facility of the modern hotel: stenographer, barber, ladies' hairdresser, manicurist, masseur, masseuse, two surgeons, professional nurses, laundry, valet service, photographer, novelty shop, daily newspapers, etc. The ships are equipped with long range radio capable of maintaining communication with land at all times. Laundr J The Empress of Scotland and Empress of France are equipped with a modern laundry and members' work will be given special attention. Clothing for the Cruise Warm winter clothing will be required for the first and last days of the cruise, also frequently for evenings both on ship and ashore. Clothing appropriate for spring or fall wear will be required for the rest of the trip. Sultry days will not be encountered, except possibly in Egypt. An overcoat or wrap should be kept handy for use at sundown, especially in Egypt, where the temperature takes a sudden drop at nightfall. Gentlemen will find a dinner jacket will meet all ordinary requirements. Sport clothes and appropriate costumes for the fancy dress parties, which will be given aboard ship, will be found useful. Shoes, rubbers, sweaters and raincoats should be taken from home, also an adequate supply of clothing, but the latter may be replenished at most of the ports. An automobile duster will be found useful occasionally. Deck Chairs and Rugs Deck Chairs and Bugs may be rented for the cruise at $4 each. Members are recommended to bring a sofa pillow with them for their deck chair. 72 9 IS o in in CANADIAN PACIFIC Travellers Cheques Members will find Canadian Pacific Express Travellers Cheques convenient on the cruise. They are issued in denominations of $10, $20, $50, $100 and $200, and may be obtained from any Canadian Pacific Office at the regular rates. Passports and Vises Passports are necessary. Married couples may travel on one passport. Most countries still require passports to be vised by their consulates or representatives. Full information regarding passports and vises will be furnished well in advance of sailing day and every assistance rendered by Canadian Pacific representatives in completing necessary details. I Post Office—Mail—Cables To ensure the safe delivery of mail matter at the various ports of call, a Post Office has been installed in the ships, in charge of a staff of experienced postal clerks'. Members of the cruise will be furnished, when tickets are issued, with full instructions regarding the addressing of mail and cables to reach them en route. Messages to Relatives and Friends at Home The offices of the Canadian Pacific will receive cable advice of the arrival of the Empress of Scotland and Empress of France at each port and will notify relatives and friends of members by mail if list of names and addresses is left with them. The Shop The Empress of Scotland and Empress of France have a modern and well equipped shop at which may be purchased a variety of articles, such as books, candy, toilet requisites, photographic films, souvenirs, post cards and fancy goods. Religious Services Divine service will be held on Sundays, when the ship is not in port. An altar set is also provided for the celebration of Holy Mass. There is usually a Boman Catholic priest among the members. 74 CANADIAN PACIFIC Photography Asa cruise offers exceptional opportunities for amateur photography a staff of expert photographers is carried to develop and print films for members. Films will be on sale at The Shop at city prices. Baggage and Baggage Insurance Although there is practically no limit to the amount of baggage which may be carried on the steamship it is inadvisable for members to burden themselves with too many trunks and bags. Large trunks and other baggage not regularly needed or which cannot be conveniently accommodated in the stateroom, will be placed in the large, well appointed baggage room which will be accessible throughout the cruise. Trunks for staterooms should not exceed 14 inches in height. On inland excursions baggage will be limited to suit cases, hand bags and other portable baggage. Every care is taken in connection with baggage, but on board the liability of the Canadian Pacific is limited, and we assume no responsibility ashore. Members are recommended to protect themselves by insuring their baggage against loss, damage or pilferage. This may be done at very reasonable rates. Storage of Baggage in England Cruise members may arrange with the Baggage Master of the ship for storage of their baggage at Southampton or Liverpool, at a nominal charge of $1 per month or fraction thereof for each piece. This charge will include delivery to the westbound ship on which member is returning, also transportation charges from Southampton to Liverpool in the case of those sailing from the latter port. The baggage of members sailing from Southampton, Hamburg or Cherbourg will be placed on board at Southampton. Trunks and all heavy baggage of members leaving the ship at Naples, Monaco or Cherbourg, will be taken to Southampton on the ship free of charge. Cruise members should procure their westbound labels from the Baggage Master before leaving the cruise ship, and communicate with the Agent of the Canadian Pacific at Southampton, or Liverpool if sailing from there, a reasonable time in advance of the sailing, quoting the numbers of the baggage checks issued as receipt and requesting him to have their baggage placed on board the westbound ship by which thev are returning. CANADIAN PACIFIC Optional Excursions While the program of included excursions is complete and comprehensive, it is felt that members of the cruise should be afforded facilities, where time permits, to visit at their own expense certain places which it is impossible to include in the regular excursions. Where the included excursions overlap the optionals due allowance has been made in the fare for the latter. Children will be charged full fare for optional excursions. Members are urged to avail themselves of these excursions, rather than attempt to make their own arrangements, as they have been carefully organized with a view of seeing all that is worth seeing. Furthermore, in the case of motor trips, it should be borne in mind that each group of cars is accompanied by a Canadian Pacific representative and in some cases by police officers, cars are not filled to capacity, additional cars are employed for the carrying of baggage, and spare cars are supplied to avoid delays in event of break-down. Meals and hotel accommodation, where required, are also included. Local drivers in many places offer similar trips at reduced rates but members are warned to beware of such "bargains" ae they afford none of the protection or service outlined above and the cars are usually crowded.

The clill's of Gebel-Aboufayda, on the east bank of the river, soon come into view. Near the summit are several caves, in which mummies of crocodiles and other animals and some human remains have been found. The steamer arrives Beni-Mohamed about 9 p.m. and anchors there for the night. Sunday, March 16 Leave Beni-Mohamed at daybreak and arrive at Assiut about 9 a.m. Assiut is the capital of the province, and its importance demands an early start after breakfast. Donkeys and carriages will be provided. The hills in the vicinity afford striking and extensive views of the city and a beautiful panorama of the Nile. The markets and bazaars present a characteristic picture of Oriental commercial life. The residence of the Mudir or Governor General, the new native Police Courts, and the Government Hospital will be passed en route.

Monday, March 17 After breakfast an excursion will be made to Abydos, to the famous Temples of Seti and Rameses, a distance of about six miles, donkeys and carriages being provided. The ruins are very extensive and have been carefully excavated; the halls, vaulted chambers, columns and inscriptions in the Temple of Seti are wonderful and well worth the journey, and those in the Temple of Rameses, though not in so perfect a condition, are very interesting.

The journey is resumed "at 10 a.m., as it is intended to reach Luxor in the early evening-. Members will sleep on board. Wednesday, March 19 An early start will be made as the Thebes excursion is of a comprehensive character.

Here donkeys and motor cars will be provided for the trip to the Valley of the Kings with its numerous and wondrous temples and tombs, including that of King Tut-Ankh- Amen, the revelation of whose astonishing riches caused a sensation throughout the entire civilized world. Most of these antiques are now on view in the Cairo Museum. Considerable exploration work is still being done in King Tut-Ankh- Amen's Tomb and the Egyptian authorities reserve the right to close it to the public when necessary. Features of interest on the drive are the two gigantic Colossi, the most celebrated of which is the Vocal Memnon, so called from a tradition that it emitted sounds when the rays of the morning sun fell upon it. The temple of King Amenhotep "nearby has almost entirely disappeared. A visit is made to the Temple of Koorneh, dedicated to Seti I, full of interesting sculptures and inscriptions. Proceeding next to the Valley of Biban-el-Molook, the Tombs of the Kings of the 19th and 20th dynasties, now lit by electricity, will be inspected. The party will pass the hill of Abd-el-Koorneh, and under the cliffs of the Libyan Mountain, to visit the ancient Temple Dayr-el-Babree, with its sculptures of floating obelisks from Assuan.

The gigantic statue of Rameses II, in the courtyard, is the largest in Egypt, weighing over 1,000 tons. Members are then directed to Dayr-el-Medeeneh, and from there to the fine tomb of Queen Nefertari, favorite wife of Rameses III. Medinet Abou is next visited.

Donkeys and carriages will be provided for the excursion. Boats convey members to the Temple of Philae, thence to a short railway which takes the party across the Great Assuan Dam, after which boats are provided for the return journey through the locks past Elephantine Island back to the Nile Steamer, in time for dinner. The Term "Cataract" is practically now a misnomer and the new Assuan Dam affords an interest of a very different nature and degree. The dam was designed by Sir William Willcocks. The foundation stone was laid February 12, 1899. It was opened December 10, 1902, by the Duke of Connaught. Its length is approximately one and a quarter miles and it has 180 sluice gates. These are open during high Nile and then gradually closed, thus holding up an immense volume of water which is released as required, instead of running uselessly away to sea, as was formerly the case. It has been estimated that the yield of crops over the vast tract of intervening country is increased ninefold and this fact must be accepted as compensation for the encroachment of the waters on the picturesque ruins of Philae, now partly submerged. Empress of Scotland March 21 Empress of France March 31 After breakfast, an excursion will be made to the Tombs of Mechu, Ben and Se-Renpu, situated on the western side of Assuan.

Leaving Assuan about 2.30 p.m., Komombo is reached at 5.30 p.m. An opportunity is allowed to visit the twin Temples of Komombo which are in a ruined condition, having been partly destroyed by the encroachment of the Nile. Leaving Komombo at 6.30 p.m., the steamer continues its course towards Edfou. Empress of Scotland March 22 Empress of France April 1 The steamer passes the Mountain of Silsileh. This claims attention on account of its quarries, from which most of the stone employed in the erection of Egyptian Temples was taken. The quarries, rock passages and grottoes, on the walls of which are tablets bearing the names of some of the Pharaohs.will be seen distinctly. Edfou is reached about 9 a.m. Edfou is a large village, in the midst of which stands the most perfect existing specimen of an Egyptian Temple. Its propylee and external walls are unique, being covered with inscriptions containing important details of the ancient geography of Egypt. Donkeys will be provided for the excursion, for which two hours are allowed. Chairs carried by native sailors will be provided for those who do not desire to ride a donkey. Leaving Edfou at 11 a.m., the steamer arrives at Esneh at 2 p.m. The temple of Esneh, situated close to the river bank, will be visited and the steamer proceeds to Luxor which is reached about 7 p.m. Dine and sleep on steamer. Empress of Scotland March 23 Empress of France April 2 An early start will be made as the Thebes excursion is of a comprehensive character. Members are transferred across the Nile River in small boats to the west bank. Here donkeys and motor cars will be provided for the trip to the Valley of the Kings, with its numerous and wondrous Temples and Tombs, including that of King Tut-Ankh-Amen, the revelation of whose astonishing riches caused a sensation throughout the entire civilized world. Most of these antiques are now on view in the Cairo Museum. Considerable exploration work is still being done in King Tut-Ankh- Amen's Tomb and the Egyptian authorities reserve the right to close it to the public when necessary. Features of interest on the drive are the two gigantic Colossi, the most celebrated of which is the Vocal Memnon, so called from a tradition that it emitted sounds when the rays of the morning sun fell upon it. The Temple of King Amen- hotep nearby has almost entirely disappeared. A visit is made to the Temple of Koorneh, dedicated to Seti I, full of interesting sculptures and inscriptions. Proceeding next to the Valley of Biban-El-Molook, the Tombs of the Kings of the 19th and 20th dynasties, fit by electricity will be inspected. The party will pass the hill of Abdel Koorneih and under the cliffs of the Libyan Mountain, to visit the ancient Temple of Dayr-el-Bahree, with its sculptures of floating obelisks from Assuan. This temple is different in its plan from any other in Egypt, the Ram- eseum or Memnonium in elegance and architectural beauty excelling almost all other Egyptian Monuments, the gigantic statue of Rameses II, in the court-yard, is the largest in Egypt, weighing over 100.0 tons. Members are then directed to Dayr-el-Medeeneh and from there to the fine Tomb of Queen Nefertari, favourite "wife of Rameses III. Medinet Abou is next visited. This is one of the four great temples referred to by ancient writers. Luncheon will be served at the Rest House at Thebes or at the hotel at Luxor, as circumstances permit. Dine and sleep at hotel in Luxor. Empress of Scotland March 24 Empress of France April 3 The morning will be devoted to an excursion to the magnificent Temple of Karnak. The route lies across the plain and along the Grand Avenue of Sphinxes. These are coeval with the temple and the way was once bordered with them on either side for the entire distance from the Temple of Luxor. The unfinished Propylon, or outer wall, still more than 100 feet in height, and the various courts having been inspected, the great hall of the temple is visited. This hall measures 170 feet by 329 feet, and the roof is supported by 134 massive columns, 60 feet in height. The afternoon will be spent visiting the Temple of Luxor, after which there is ample opportunity for inspection of the town of Luxor. Leave Luxor 7 p.m. by sleeping cars.

Proceeding next to the Valley of Biban-el-Molook, the Tombs of the Kings of the 19th and 20th dynasties, now lit by electricity, will be inspected. The party will pass the hill of Abd-el-Koorneh, and under the cliffs of the Libyan Mountain, to visit the ancient Temple Dayr-el-Bahree, with its sculptures of floating obelisks from Assuan. This temple is different in its plan from any other in Egypt, the Ram- eseum or Memnonium, in elegance and architectural beauty excelling almost all other Egyptian monuments.

Empress of Scotland March 23 Empress of France April 2 Steamer leaves Luxor at 9 a.m. The first place of importance is Erment, picturesquely situated and noteworthy for the ruins of the Temple erected by the celebrated Cleopatra. The Temple of Esneh, situated close to the river bank, will be visited on the return trip. The steamer will pass Edfou late in the evening and anchor at Djebel Silsileh for the night. Empress of Scotland March 24 Empress of France April 3 Leave Djebel Silsileh at dawn and arrive at Komombo 7 a.m. An opportunity is allowed to visit the Temple and the steamer leaves at 9 a.m. for Assuan, which is reached at noon. The party will leave immediately for the grandest excursion on the Nile—a visit to the submerged Temple of Philae and the First Cataract, or Rapids of the Nile, via the Quarries and Unfinished Obelisk. Donkeys and carriages will be provided for the excursion. Boats convey members to the Temple of Philae, thence to a short railway which takes the party across the Great Assuan Dam, after which boats are provided for the return journey through die locks past Elephantine Island back to the Nile steamer in time for dinner. The term "Cataract" is now practically a misnomer and the new Assuan Dam affords an interest of a very different nature and degree. The dam was designed by Sir William Willcocks. The foundation stone was laid February 12, 1899. It was opened December 10, 1902, by the Duke of Connaught. Its length is approximately one and a quarter miles, and it has 180 sluice gates. These are open during high Nile and then gradually closed, thus holding up an immense volume of water which is released as required, instead of running uselessly away to the sea, as was formerly the case. It has been estimated that the yield of crops over the vast tract of intervening country is increased ninefold and this fact must be accepted as compensation for the encroachment of the waters on the picturesque ruins of Philae, now partly submerged. Empress of Scotland March 25 Empress of France April 4 An early start after breakfast will be made to visit the Tombs of Mechu, Ben and Se-Renpu, situated on the western side of Assuan. These interesting monuments were laid bare at the expense and under the direction of General Sir F. Grenfell, Major Plunkett, R.E., and other officers of the Egyptian and British armies.
