Aviation has been popular at Day

passengers near the Nautilus casino;
Captain Herman has been carrying
many passengers in his flying-boat at
Daytona during the past few days.
George Gray has been flying at Or

UnweIeome Messenger Of Defeat.


One Of the more genial practices OF
Ivan the Terrible was to stick a steel
lance through the foot Of messenger
who brought him bad news. All the
"A. d. T." men of the old days had
a hard life. The wonder is now that
in those times anybody could be found
to tell the truth of defeat. Incred.
ible as 1t may seem. there was always
some impetuous ass who would &C.
tually put spurs to his horse to get
to the king. or the car, or whatever
master it was, to tell him that his
dubs at the front had lost the battle.
Then the king, or the car, or what
ever 1t was, would call the impetuous
one a slave or something worse, with
out smiling. and have his head cut of.
or boil him in oil, or pin his foot to
the ground as II he were responsible.
AS has been intimated, Ivan the Ter
rible was particularly adept in these
scholarly ways of Furnishing bad news.

The volume of business at the Des-
pland shows little signs of abating,
the house count last evening being
well above the 100 mark. While this,
of course, would be dwarfed by the
number of guests entertained at va
rious times throughout January and
February and the latter part of March,
nevertheless the count is rather high
for this late in the season. The cour.
tesy of the hotels manager, head
clerk, and in fact, all the hotel EN-
ployees, accounts for the great pop
ularity of this hosiery among the
travellers of the nation.

Black Is the Interior Decorating
Note of the Temperamental Woman

poppies. some dropping, some in bud
aid some in full blossom, form a par
ticularly graceful pattern. The birds
are frequent enough, and posed in diff
ferent positions to give variety, though
the pattern is a continuous one and not
a repeat.
If panels are desired TO vary this
paper, white cartridge paper outlined
with black moulding is used. and black
birds arc cut out and arranged upon it
according to the fancy of the designer,
or black baskets of flowers are used in
their stead. On one occasion a life
sized silhouette figure OF Cupid in diff
ferent positions was used.
4 Mysterious Black Interior.
A prominent interior decorator fur
nished the following plan to fanciful
customer, which in part was c.fried
out. The side walls of the room were
co ;ered wit black MORE paper, with
the peacock panels in their beautiful
coloring, and outlined with gold mould
ing. The ceiling from frieze to dome
was done in gold, the woodwork in
black, and the floor in highly polished
old blue peacock coloring, on which
were laid black rugs. / heavy hang
ings are Of lack velvet. with the inner
hangings of gold and blue shaded
gauze. Ebony furniture upholstered in
black satin is used, with one big Ches-
terrified couch. on which are cushions to
match each color OF the peacock, an
flowers in the panels. Gold framed
water-color paintings, in delicate tints,
haIg against each black panel, and be-
side the open fireplace, on an ebony tea
table, is a black Bassltes ware tea SER
wee. with gold handles, and brass
tea kettle.
The fireplace fittings are of heavy
black wrought iron; the lighting fixt-
ures are inverted bowls of opalescent
glass swung by black rought iron
chains and resting in black iron fill
gree baskets. A Bengal tiger rug with
stuffed head rests before the fire
place. on either side of which are tall
ely carved cathedra- chairs Of ebony.
with cathedral candlesticks in gold
hanging above them. A tall wrought
iron censor in old spindle design stand
