Mr. .Goodchild left on February 16 on the White Star Liner "Cedric" and returned on the "MsJestic." also a RVhite Star Liner. Mr. Goodchild reports the trip one of the most enioyable he ever had. He reach- ed New York at about live o'clock last night. . The sea was very smooth both during the trip over and the trip hack—unusually smooth for this time of the year — and the ships .were lnot over crowded. The ’Madestic" brought home a; great inany American tourists from Mediterranean trips. “'hen seen this morning by a lentinel reporter, 1m.

The tracks are much smoother than here. and you certainly can't beat the res- taurant cars." When asked about the styles in England, Mr. Goodchild said: “The thing that impressed me most 'in regard to the styles was the pre- dominance ot autumn colors. lean- ing toward browns. in the women's suitings displayed in the London shops. In men's clothing there seems to be no predominating color, but there is a. tendency toward greys Sport clothes are- worn a. great ”deal. “There were many dazzling Paris creations worn by the ladies at the nightly dances on board ship. One lady were a necklace of pearls which it is claimed were worth $250,000. “The ‘shlnglc bob' is being much discussed in London now. Not as large a proportion of English girls have their hair bobbed as do Amer- ican girls." _O.
