The faded captain, satisfied that all danger is past, takes off his clothea for the first time in fifty hours and climbs into his bank to aleep like a log. Before the voy- jage is over the linor encounters on- other gale lasting forty-eight hours, and she is much delayed.
On arrival in New York, the shipnews reporters clamour round the_captain's cabin door. "You're very late, captain," they say. "Have you any story for the boya?".
The captain passes his hand wearily over his tired eyes and smiles. "Ob, nothing out of the ordinary," he replies. "Just a spot of bad weather."

"NO THANK YOU, BOY"
LA MARQUE MONDIALE
How many times at the end of a perfectly cheery dinner is this remark made
in Hongkong, when the two or three uninteresting liqueurs are handed round? Strangely enough, so many hosts neglect this final touch to an otherwise excellent repast.
And yet there are several delightfully subtle liqueurs which will not only be greatly appreciated, but will capture the 7 imagination of your guests and create an atmosphere of soothing contentment.
Of course, the wonderfully subtle spirits of COINTREAU are universally known.
The secret charms of SEVE SAINTONGE; the delicacy of MAJESTIC, and of those exquisite "LIQUEURS DE FRAISES" and "LIQUEURS DE FRAMBOISES" embodying the soul of French strawberries and raspberries, are the joy of epicures
