Presently we ran out of the storm

they would close up again shutting out

Looped the Loop

The following day went up with
Jack Alcock, my pet pilot, with the stan
surgeons terrier pup in my lap, and
looped the loop two or three times.

myself in, and as there was no shoulder
straps on the machine 1t was little

Letter Weighted With
Self-Revelation

Geo, alone as usual in her studio,
where she has not painted since the
war began, settles down to open the
thick military letter, letter weighted
with the self-revelations of An unknown
soul, an unknown soul which is also
the soul of her ex-husband.
From habit rather than from desire
she begins by lighting a cigarette. Then
she installs herself on the divan and
passes her right hand csrelessly
through her short, henna-stained curls.
At twenty-eight there is no necessity
for coloring them. But the henna is a
detail in the Latin Quarter makeup
which Geo, in spite of her dissatisfac-
ton with it, has not yet reached the
point of giving up. Women who have
no children often become their own
dolls; and that leads them into extrava-
gances and eccentricties.
