perlenced air travelers declare that
aerial seasickness can be traced
directly to the accumulation of fumes

The Open Window Question.

The Englishman pron-stud. The
American insisted. The Englishman
persisted. The American remained
ohdurate and during two hours the
pair quarreled. but when the plane
landed at Le Bourget the little \vin~

lishman had been so heated li_\ or ger

to sit mute under the most merciless
of tongue lashings, even at the risk
of being branded craven and coward
in the eyes of the lady visitors on the

in her husband‘s meekness at such 7

times; for, after all, $26 is $25;
likewise, a detour to Jail will spoil
any party. 7

I wonder how many women driv-
ers to-day are such by grace of
their husbands‘ tutelage. Not many.
I-fancy; all the wives I know learned
when their husbands weren't looking.
Contrary to express commands laid
down by the head of the house, they
took the ear out one morning after
“he" had gone to town, and drove
straight down Main street. They’
smashed a. lamp, and killed a. chicken;
but they learned to drive!

judgment tells him that it is not

worth while for "Edith," of a high ,

Perhaps some day, out in the

Edith looks anxiously to him for'
advice as to how, to meet this emer-

taking the wheel and stopping the
car. They exchange seats in 51-

Presently, and very gently, as 71:
