The Atlantic Coast Line's Florida Special, which runs to Miami for three or four months after the Christmas holidays, has had hostesses for five years whose duties are strictly social. They stay in the club car, keep games and music going.

Railroad hostesses say that the two questions which passengers most frequently ask are "How fast are we going?" and "How do you like your job?"
