A MODEL LINER
Splendid model liners are now constructed, ranging from the mechanical toy, costing perhaps a few shillings to the bttilt-to-scale model of some fam-
ous ocean steamer, constructed by an expert and frequently worth hundreds of pounds. Then there are models driven by steam, electricity, or clockwork. The owners of these models are, of course, immensely proud of them, for some of the very perfect scale models take several years to complete. Before the war an old gentleman built an electric steam yacht.. It had cabins, "wireless,” and even electric light, and as night approached the little ship looked very pretty, all lit up.
