Here is an exciting new idea from Cook's, creators of
new ways in travel since 1841. On Cook's "Human
Interest" Tours, not only will you visit the cathedrals
and other historic landmarks, but you'll also get a vivid
insight into the Europe of today.
Get to know the British better as you exchange ideas
with people at a local village inn. Gain a deeper under-
standing of the Italians as a visitor in a Roman home.
Paris will come alive as you call on a young French
painter in his studio.
Experience all this, and more, on these new and dif-
ferent 42-day, 7 country escorted "Human Interest"
Tours. They begin April 9 and run throughout the sea-
son. Crossings on Cunard "Queens" or by air. Fares
are from $1581.
(Brussels' World's Fair included in all tours.)
