London, December 28.
Furnishings which are claimed to help to prevent seasickness are now being used on several big liners which are undergoing overhaul in preparation for New Year sailings. The tendency regarding ship furnishings is to eliminate everything giving the passenger the idea that he is
aboard ship, said an official of a Liverpool firm which is refurnishing the Cunarder Aquitania. “We find shipfurnishing on the lines of a luxurious hotel has a psychological effect on the passenger, and tends to reduce seasickness. Colour plays an important part in creating harmonious surroundings. Blue, pale yellow, and pink suggest cheerfulness and peace.”
