SculIery Boys Kiss Hands.
Lindbergh had to so through the

given, to get to the balcony. On the
way he was forced to stop and shake

boys. who abandoned their pots and
kettles to give him one of the most
spontaneous greetings he has received.
Those who could reach him patted
him. kissed his hands or gave vent
to their frantic enthusiasm in any
way that presented itself. Lindbergh
came out through the window of the
balcony with a French flag in his
