Bachelor Tours Spark Romance for Singles By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor NEW YORK (UPI)—Two weeks with pay can pay off in matrimony, if a girl calculates properly. This is why a new travel gimmick dreamed up by a young New Yorker (ultimate victim of his own scheme) is catching on among the single set. Richard Lowenstein said that his "Bachelor Party Tours, Inc." aren't designed for match making. But he added, "travel does provide the perfect climate for love." The tours take the eligible only—including divorced persons, widows and widowers—to the Caribbean, Europe, Mexico or Hawaii. "I don't particularly like the match making tag," said Lowenstein. odist Church Woman's Society of Christian Service general meeting on Wednesday, at 7:30 p.m., in the church lounge.

"Being carefree people with common interests, they get a lot of fun out of sharing their travel experiences." Lowenstein said a tour "of the Roman ruins is a wonderful experience. But who wants to look at them alone. And it is no fun for the lone tourist to sit by himself at a nightclub. He might have trouble making a reservation for one thing." As a result, the tours make sure there are both the standard sightseeing and a healthy chunk of night life. A trip to Venice, for instance, includes a moonlight ride on a gondola. All Ages Travel The marriageable his agency books come in all ages, from the 20's to the 70's even. But the great majority, he said, are in their 30's and 40's. And, except for the requirement that they be single, are much like any travelers anywhere. "But I guess it is only natural for a single person to have hope," he added.
