R.M.S. CARINTHIA

WRITING ROOM.—This room is on “ A ” Deck. The color scheme is of rich blue and gold.

CARD ROOM.—" A " Deck. While the decoration is similar to the adjoining Writing Room, the predominant color is bottle green. The room generally may be compared with that of an old Georgian club in St. James.

LOUNGE.—Also on “ A ” Deck is the Lounge. It is reminiscent of that delightful period when the influence of William of Orange produced a composite style of English and Dutch forms. Walnut furniture, with cross- banded veneer and marquetry, old red lacquer, black and gold furniture and rich velvets and tapestries, create a very pleasing 17th century atmosphere.

ADAM RESTAURANT.—There is seating accommodation for 320 people. The central portion and two wings are in the simple style of the Brothers Adam.

SPANISH SMOKING ROOM—This is the first occasion upon which Spanish art has been introduced into the decoration of a Cunard liner, and this handsome room Is typically Spanish. The scheme is based on El Greco's house, and a copy of that artist’s fine portrait of King Ferdinand occupies a prominent position.

SPORTS ARENA.—This unique feature is situated on " G ” Deck and extends upwards through two other decks. It consists of a Swimming Bath, a Racquets Court and a fully equipped Gymnasium. The decorations are a modem adaptation of the Greek forms in teak and bronze. The walls are divided by Pentelican marble pilasters.

SWIMMING POOL.—This occupies a central position in the Arena and is one of the largest afloat. The walls are decorated in bronze bas-relief copied from ancient Greek vases.

GYMNASIUM AND ELECTRIC RAY BATH.—The former is on the starboard side of the Swimming Bath and is equipped with the very latest appliances.
