SUB ROSA
By MIMI.
Nonstop Flight.

These are the breezy days when the
air as long as they can and make a
nonstop fight from coast to coast
or continent to continent. There are
some feathered flyers which go from
Pole to Pole with nothing more than
time out for lunch, and l suppose our
Lindys will soon be trying the same
stunt.
The nonstop fight is all right for
birds and birdmen, but I don't approve
of it for men in general. 1t doesn't
give us time to give them the once
over, to say nothing Of making eyes
at them. What good is man who is
a mile up in the air on a 3,000-nile
flight?
Our men folks and boy friends are
getting too non-stoppy. There was a
time when a man found 1t convenient
to hitch his horse after the old nag
had run off a few miles, but when
the bozo has a gas-driven airship you
can't get him to hitch anywhere.
It is hard to make out why these
love flyers do not make landing at
the marriage altar. We girls try to
make our presence felt, and we do not
fail to let men see what we are like.
We doll up for them and make our
selves look as tricky as possible, but
1t doesn't seem to stop the flyers.
Some people marry too much, but
most Of them are inclined to marry
so little that we shall soon have a
world full of bachelors Of both sexes.
Courtship takes time and the ad.
vantage Of terra firma.
Men ought to take marriage as seri.
ously as they do golf.
