Women often wrote telegrams or letters to friends and family to tell them of the voyage. While most men were in the 1st class Smoking Room which was only for men, the women would sit in the Reading and Writing room while reading a book, chatting, or sipping a drink such as hot tea or coffee. It was just behind the lounge on A-Deck and it was used by mostly women. The lighting was good as the sun's rays flooded the room through the bay window on the port side with elegant velvet curtains. It had white paneling on the walls and there was beautiful designs on the ceiling. The Reading and Writing Room was almost removed to make room for more 1st class cabins but it was finally decided to put it in.
