The Once Over


On, / tnlnk II was Just glorious. / know tneyo
come through-"-Mrs Post. after the flight.
Il was never SO thrilled. Harold never fails In any
thing ."-Mrs. Gatty after the flight.
Mrs Post shortly after the hop-off from Okla
homa)-well. they're off, and I suppose all we can
do it hope for the best.
Mrs. Gatty.-n they break their necks they can't
say we didn't warn 'em.
Mrs. ost-wouldn't you think they'd be more rea-
sonable7 They get a silly idea In their heads and off
they 90 around the world. leaving US alone TO like It
or lump It. + think it's terrible.
Mrs. Gatty-Theyre old enough 10 have more
sense.
Mrs. Post.-That's what I say. But you know how
obstinate Wiley Is.
Mrs. G~atty-Harold Is that way. too. just ~pigxhead-
ed once he gets his heart set on something. There's
no use arguing. I tried to tell him for the past week
that this round the-world trip was a crazy idea, but
he wouldn't listen to me.
Mrs. POST don't blame EN- for liking to ny. but
they've got all the room they need right here over
Oklahoma Why 90 all over the world7
Mrs. ~Gatty-Thats just what I said to Harold. He
just grunted and said I didn't understand.
Mrs. Post-It isn't fair to us. Suppose they got
killed7 Where would We get Off. then. They never
stop to think Of that. 1t makes me furious.
Mrs. Gatty-sometimes I have my suspicious about
this round the-world story.
Mrs. Post-Me. too. How do we know they're on any
round 1.-THE trip,
Mrs. Gatty-An we can do is to watch the papers.
What I can't understand is what difference 1t will
make even II they do fly around the world in nine
or ten days. What Of It?
Mrs. Post.-Some other fellow will come along and
do the same thing in six or seven. That's always the
way.
Mrs. Gatty.-Harold tells me a lot Of stuff about
the scientific value OF such d trip. its Importance to
aviation and SO forth, but I don't swallow 1t. They
just want to get away from home. that's all.
Mrs. PoSt-How do we know who they'll meet on
such a trip?
Mrs. Gatty.-we don't. They say they're not going
10 stop any place longer than 1t takes to buy gas, Int
you know how men are when they get away on a trip.
Mrs. Positive ought TO put our foot down. I'm
going to tell Wiley that he's got to choose between
me and this crazy business OF flying around the world.
It's too dangerous. They may get through. but II
they do It'll be luck.
Mrs. Gatty-Absolutely.
Mrs. POST wish there was a law against any such
things as world flights.
Mrs. Gatty-so do I. They Just don't make sense.

Said Peter Arno to Vanderbilt Junior

Messrs. Post and Gatty spent the Fourth on q
yacht. Their sensations must have been those OF the
flea who hoped off the rabbit to try a trip on a
rocking horse.

1t seems pretty cruel to ask Mr.. Andrews TO 20 through
