Having come to France with .
very limited wardrobe -oEiy his si,-
ing suit, with Il toothbrush and razor
tucked in pocket--Lindbergh found
himself faced with the clothes ques-
tion when he arose yesterday, hence
his hurried visit to the tailor. He
had to wear one Of Ambassador Her
rick's shirts and an embassy foot
man was able to supply blue suit,
the fit Of which left much to be
desired.
Visits Nungcsscr's Mother
Admiration for the flyer from the
west was heightened by the simple
kindliness with which he sought in
the hour of his triumph to bring Il
little hope and comfort to the sor-
rowing mother of less fortunate
brother pilot--Captain Nungesser.
II wanted to make my first call
on the mother of my valiant friend,
Captain Nungesser,' he told her as
he twisted his hat in his hands. 81

Nine. Nungesser took him into her
arms. They were in the same room
where she and her son had had their
last meal together, only short time
before he started on his ns-At-
lantic flight with Captain Coli.
Before giving way to her tears, she
. said: Il am a mother--that is all.
l have not lost hope Of seeing my
/. son again. My heart of French
woman knows how to support suf-
fcring and anxeties." When Lind
bcrgh left there were tears in his
!, eyes.
Previously Lindbcrgh telephoned
his mother in Detroit. When asked
what he said to her, he replied: ooh,
told her the flight went off better
than | expected"
To the question as to what he
asked her. he answered.: ooh, just
how things were at home. She said
everything was lovely
Signal Honor given Flyer
As Lindbergh was enjoying a TO-
hour sleep in a room in the embassy.
messages Of congratulaton and Of
fers Of all sorts were piling up,
while, as soon as the city began to
stir itself after an exciting night,
American flags appeared everywhere.
BY order Of Premier Poincare, the
stars and stripes were. flown over
the Louvre palace and the French
foreign office. 1t was the first
. time the American emblem was
raised at the foreign office since
President Wilson reached Paris, as
. the honor is usually reserved only
for visiting sovereigns.
After the young aviator had talked
. to his mother, he appeared on the
, balcony of the embassy to satisfy
the crowds that had gathered there
: for Il glimpse of him. Then, after
the newspaper photographers had
done their swapping, he described
some of the high lights of his long
journey over the Atlantic. He told
. how for 200 miles the weather was
. "about as bad as could be-" how he
had to go through fog, sleet and
. rain, at times flying only 10 feet
. above the sea and again rising to
10000 feet to escape the storm.
He related how he felt when he
saw the hills of Ireland, when he
could discern the French coast, and
! ut last the brilliancy of the Eiffel
tower. Then he knew he had made
4 Paris.
9 Before Lindbergh stirred from what
seemed to him the best bed he had
: ever slept in, steady stream of call
ers came to the embassy. Among
them were Paul Claudel, French am
: bassador to the United States; Mar
shall Lyautey, Il foreign office official
bringing greeting from Foreign Min
lister BRAND; and Jean Borotra, the
French tennis star.
Prize Donor Calls
M q nd nrfn nf hu
$4,000 prize for nonstop flight
linking Paris and New York, came
too. When NJ. Orteig reached Paris
after a special trip from the
Pyrenees, in order to greet Lind
bergh. he remarked: II feel a lot
lighter" and some one suggested,
'about $25.0OO?'
NO. he replied. Il mean my
spirits feel lighter at the thought of
what this man has DONE"
Lindbergh's plane must be placed
on public exhibition says L'Auto,
Frances sporting daily. 1t proposes
the Tuileries Gardens as the best
place, expressing the hope the idea
will be adopted without delay by the
authorities.
A handwriting expert, Camille S.
Treletzi, secretary of the graphology
society, to whom Lindbergh'c sigma
ture was submitted, has discovered
"sound reasons" for the general adj
miration of the aviator as man and
as a scientist.
"What strikes me first" he says,
"is the angular nature of the writing,
indicating firmness of conception and
frmness Of execution. That may APP
pear rather obvious in the light Of
events. Other characteristics are re-
vcaled in the signature. The writing
is bold, which is proof OF mental
balance, and good health. The up
strokes are very high, which is a
sign Of strongly marked idealism,
even mysticism. On the other hand.
its unevenness denotes the writer is
highly emotional, while logical power
and continuity of ideas is shown by
the way the letters are closely joined,
and the sloping character reveals
great sensitiveness, surprising in SO
energetic man. Finally, see in the
: signature, indications of wide gener-
III culture"
FLYER HATES TO FACE
NEW YORK REPORTERS
Paris, May 23--P9--Captain Lind
bergh has no fear of risking his life
in making aerial history, but looks
forward with trepidation to facing
the ship news reporters and camera
men in New York on his return.
For this reason, according to sew
oral persons who have been able to
get him to unbosom himself, he
plans to remain in Europe until about
the middle Of June, to get much
needed brief vacation after attending
the serni-obligatoTy fetes in his
A1gfef.
