me was the early growth of aviation. Those were
the days of the Wright brothers and Santos Dumont,
and I wrote to father from Harrow, in my

from the hearts of flowers. The child followed them
in the air, with his gaze, till one of them would fold

to a lady from a salver-two miles off. See how
distance seems to set off respect ! And here the
same lady, or another-for likeness is identity on
tea-cups, is stepping into a little fairy boat, moored
on the hither side of this calm garden river, with a
