CRUISE COMEDY
GOSSIP ON THE HIGH SEAS "Disorderly Caravan," by Mrs. Josephine Kamm, is a most interesting ship-board affair related in tho author's well-known witty style. From a rural district in Cheshire tho local doctor and one of his patients set out for the Isles of Greece without their respective partners in marriage.' The ensuing entanglement, more restrained than tho title* might suggest, is surprisingly resolved in the final shuffle. The passengers are the real point. They are observed with satirical amusement, and dreadfully resemble people who cruise, in books and out of them: the importunate spinster who will he nerved; the soulful couple to whom love means everything; the flamboyant, unattached but ( undetachablo young woman to whom'life is a series of free drinks. For all of them the cruise is one long, unlaced gossip, but, since this is drawing-room comedy, few bones are broken. "Disorderly Caravan," by Josephine Kamm. (iiarrap.)
