Flying Dutchman

NEW YORK, May 18.-Had the
Dutchman who was obliged to
make the trip from Holland to
England the other day, much
against his will and more to the
worry of his wife, been aboard a
liner he easily could have been
put aboard a tug and so returned.
Unfortunately, he was a forgotten
guest aboard an airliner, which
had only wireless contact with the
land between Amsterdam and
Croydon, the airport of London.
He left his wife to join the trav-
elers in their machine and over a
parting drink they began to chat.
1t h as happen e d before-but
never in an airplane, it is believed.
For so smooth was the take-off
and so dark the night that the
Hollander was amazed-when he
said his final good-by-to find
himself at Croydon.

No one can tell the life story Of

so, beginning her memoirs in June

with her birth in Lucerne, Switz'

bart, wife of the vice president
under Mckinley, and the Infanta
Eulalie of Spain were her god,
mothers.
Then she tells Of her first meet
ing with Reginald Vanderbilt and
how he proposed to her four days
after he met her. She also tells of
her first meeting with Mrs. Van.
derbilt, her future mother-in-law.
She writes:
Reginald called for me in his
car. Fortified with fear / drove
with him to the Vanderbilt
house, which occupied the block
from Fifty-seventh to Fifty-eighth
on the west side Of Fifth Avenue.
"When the door opened my
heart beat so violently that
could hardly breathe. / was
fearful that Reggie's mother,
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, might
not like me. She received me
in her private drawing room
tiny, very fragile woman with q
soft voice. She wore neck
lace of pearls tight around her
neck.
"She spoke to me about every
thing except my marriage.

IN THIS day of new-fanglsd
theories of chbld training and educa~

rarity. The unusual today Is the
child who is brilliant but hasn't the
propensity to display his premature
talents unsolicited.
A youngster who hasn't this re-
straining ability is six-year-old
Barbara, who resides in Detroit with
her parents. Barbara is one or
those smarty kids who appears cute
to everyone but her parents. She
lacks no devotion or love from her
mother and father, and they take
pride in her exceptional intelligence,
but they have found that encourage
ment has made her disrespectful
and impudent
THE OTHER day Barbara was
being very noisy and boisterous while
playing with a neighbor's child.
Repeated reprimands from her
father failed to curb the clatter. and
father was considerably aggravated.
"Ohi" he sighed, what would
give for a minutes peace and
quiet!"
Whereupon Barbara Immediately
stopped her play and became silent.
She could be seen moving her lips
as if counting to herself. Then she
turned to her father.
"Well, what will you give? I've
just given you minutes quiet!"
|
| ON ANOTHER occasion Barbara
was being scolded by her mother for
some infringement of rules set up
for her. Mother told her that unless
she became a good girl mother was
going to leave her and never see
her again.
What would you do If mother
went away and never came back?"
Barbara was asked.
Barbara was quick to retort.
"Oh." she answered carelessly, I'D

"Ameficd'S Most fdmoHS BedHtD
PEGGY SIMPSON, young starlet
Of pictures, claims that warm weather
is the time when all women should
give their arms a very thorough in
spection. Arms come in for plenty
of observation during the balmy days
of summer, says this wise girl, and
now is the time for them to be re-
stored to perfect condition.
She's right about that, too, for bare
arms are as much a part of the sum-
mer scene as sunburned noses and
freckled faces And they should be
perfect in every detail to prove as
sets to the appearance.
Arms. to be really beautiful, must
be firm, smooth and shapely. They
must not be fat and flabby. for that
gives a woman an appearance OF age.
They must not be thin and scrawny,
either. for rounded contours are es-
sential for arm beauty. Specialized
exercising is the best method OF
making the arms shapely. There are
some excellent exercises for this pur-
pose in my New Figure" booklet.
And the following are also most eff
| fective:
Special Exercises
Stand erect, arms extended upward
Bending at the waistline, swing the
arms down in front of the body so
| that the hands touch the ankles. and
then continue up to first position.
Stand erect. arms at the sides
Keeping the elbows stiff, clap the
hands overhead. Then, with the ell
bows still held stifily. swing the arms
downward, and clap the hands be-
| hind the back.
If your arms pass muster in so far
as their shapeliness is concerned,
don't think your appraisal completed.
For you must also inspect your arms
with Il view to detecting skin flaws.
! IL the skin of your arms has become
