Chapter 30 ERIC'S UNEXPECTED TRIP

Eric Ledoetter considered Fltzs advice not to go behind the scenes of La Petite Theatre to see Naida Preston.
 He decided not to act the fool Perhaps Fitz was right in saying that Dick Preston was behaving like the devil" Husbands did some. times.
 And so Ledbetter sat during the play between Doreen Larkin and the Marquesa de Cabrera. He want ed to sit next to Senorita Flores that he might unearth the memory of her voice and eyes, but Kirk Smnard had maneuvered that the senorita sit next to him with Bob- again on her left.
 The Marquesa de Cabrera, how ever was the senorita's duenna, and talked quite freely about her charge during the intermissions. The senorita had never been in the Orient, said the marquesa, nor anywhere in America, as yet, except New Orleans. Perhaps he had seen her in Madrid.
 No, it was not Madrid. Memory was clarifying it's images suffi- ciently to assure him of that. :. ,. Things like that worried him. He so seldom forgot a pretty woman.
 DO not let it trouble you said the marquesa Come to Seville in June. The senorita is to be mar ried then"

find the birthplace Of her mother.

But all's well that ends well, and my little
machine was reconditioned without much
delay, and was soon able to continue my
flight to New York.
From New York I took ship across to lie
Havre France. And then, as I few across
the English Channel, my husband got in an
other plane and flew across to meet me with
other enthusiastic flyers They escorted me
home via Lympne airdrome to Croydon, where
my little boy, Tony, was waiting at the air
drone with my dog Paddy to bid me welcome
1t seems not four months ago since I started
on this venture, but four years When finally
reached Croydon I found had almost for
gotten what things look like in England. So
many things have been crammed into my life
during these last four months, I have met so
many people and have had so little rest that
can really say that it is not Just the pilot
of the machine that makes flight successful
but it is the enthusiasm of the people who help
to encourage one to battle through.
Without their enthusiasm one would never
be able to go through experience like this,
and at times one almost despairs at the OBJ
Stacles in the way.
But 1 do feel sure that flying brings about
friendship between nations, and in fact in all
the countries passed through, and even those
that were at enmity with one another, the fact
Of flying through their country made than
forget things because they all, every man, had
sense of craftsmanship which is born in
them, from the Beluchi in the desert to the
civilized people Of America and England and
other nations. I feel sure that if people would
fly about in their airplanes in various countries
1t would do tremendous amount of good and
help toward the peace of the world
And so am able to look back and remember
all the wonderful things I have seen on my
journey, which will give me things to talk and
think about for years to come.

AS soon as we reached the hotel I was given

a cablegram to him in reply and sent another

After dinner they took me to my mothers

house there was large crowd gathered in the

To tell the truth, I was just little sur

told me of the great floods that used to come
in the Ohio River Valley and 1 had been

A number of interesting people were intro
duced to me- I especially enjoyed meeting a
kindly old lady, IS years old, who used to play
with my grandmother when they were little
girls, and gentleman of 81 who used to make
shoes for my grandmother when she young.
When they were children they used to play
together in the garden back Of my grand
mothers house and he gave me a lovely letter
to take back to my mother recalling the old
timss.
When came out of the house the people In
the street demanded speech 1 told them
quite truly-that this was the happieSt moment
of my whole tour, and recalled how my
mother, Lady Jennie Williams Petre, had been
born in New Albany, the daughter of Gen.
Alonzo williams, who fought in the Civil War.
I asked them to name my mothers house THE

that name on the door

Just before 1. left, the New Albany Lodge of
