to peep within. Indeed, since she was married
she had not often done 80 herself. But now
now that the happiness Of her life had found
cred beneath her, she would go back-it might
be all the pleasure (sob) that was left her

Watkins, the Moores' new maid, expert

A still poorer opinion had Sarah Watkins

look up simultaneously, suddenly and guiltily

and so eXeunt.
"And them SEE as what they has only been
married ten months" she meditated. well

The family dinner that night was distin-
guished by extreme correctitude Of demeanor,
and an etiquette almost Spanish In It's stateli-

when Watkins was IN the room. But Watkins
knew, and stayed a moment on the mat, listen
ing to the silence that dropped like a pail. She
entered, smiling to herself, knowing (oh, expe-
rienced Watkins) that she would find Clara
looking sideways at the pattern of the carpet
as though she had never seen 1t before, while
at his end of the table Harry was molding
bread pellets as If for a wager. These things
do not vary.
But even Watkins the wise did not know
everything. Penny fiction does not inform
it's readers what real people do. So as soon
as Clara had escaped out Of the dining room,
before he had time to open the door for her,

There will be no aluminium used

yesterday. Nothing but steel will

Of the machine inside and out with

care whether he ever takes his ma
chine under cover or not.

CHIEF objection to the Curtiss ma
chine in my opinion, is that it can't
stand n bump. NV chassis, however,
will be built SO low and so strong
that that will not be a danger, and

No Trick to Land Anywhere
Il showed at Boston that it was no
trick to land and stop inside hun

when to quit your power, and with a
chassis that | need have no reason
to worry about it. I'll undertake 10
land on a ships deck as l would on

Grahame- White has still another
type Of biplane in mind-one with
two propellers, as the Wright ma
chimes have, but driven without
chains. A plan for synchroni2ing the
speed OF the motors is being worked
out at the Burgess Curtiss plant
When il has been perfected the new
type will be put out without delay

"If the government could use the
