Sus- pended electric lights of high power showed the auditorium decorations to full advantage. An improvised dining room was screened off with smilax and foliage. Plants and flowers of every description were arranged in baskets at each of the separate booths. As one precaution against the pos- sible destruction of the valuable exhib- its by fire, all of the smilax and other greens used in the decoration were treated with a fircproofing dressing, which, however, did not affect their ap- pearance. TRAVEL KESTRIOTIONS OFF. The removal of restrictions on tourist travel to Europe is greatly increasing the number who are making the ocean trip. The military control at the Brit- ish passport bureau in New York has been abolished and now there is no longer need of tourists giving five days notice, but they may have their pass- ports vised at the consulate in a few minutes. Other restrictions have been dropped, with the result that tourist travel has been greatly accelerated. All the berths on vessels leaving New York are taken long beforehand and there is in addition a waiting list to take advantage of last-minute cancella- tions. The hotels in London and Paris are reported to be so crowded that reser- vations must be cabled from this side if one does not wish to walk the streets after he arrives there. At the present time the New York florists who cater to such trade are en- joyinff good business in steamer orders, which seem to grow constantly. Of course, it is not back at the old pre-war level, but with the resumption of tour- ist travel as of yore and renewal of florists' efforts to develop steamer busi- ness, this branch of trade gives indica- tion of climbing to a high mark this coming season.
