There was a lot of joking about the presents that Santa Claus was going: to give different members of the family. There was one coming my way that they all knew From then on I was interested in airplanes, But the masculine end of the family, although he would go on water in any kind of weather, in any kind of conveyâ€" ance, from cance to submarine, strenuously objected to my going up in the air. Being a dutiful wife, and disliking to see him in a frenzy, I stayed on ground.. I could hardfy wait for the day. Although winter weather in Caliâ€" fornia is not dependable, it turned out to be a beautiful day. We went by limousine to Wine and Holâ€" a friend asked me. 1 did, and I gave it to him.

This was my first interest in "sky flying." A few years later â€" in 1906 or 1907 â€" I was in New York. ‘The Hudson Fulton Celebration was on, and the Wright Brothers were to show off their machine by flying over the Hudson River. I found everything favorable. But I also found, when I got back, that, in my absence, the Wright Brothers had flown: across the Hudson . directly â€" over "The Queen." +I had the satisfaction of seeing pictures of it in the next day‘s papers. % o + The first package taken from the Christmas tree, it was much bedecked with ribbons and tinsel. tents as they were to see my exâ€" pression â€" when I got to â€"two tickets for a round trip to Cataâ€" lywood Boulevard ( 1 Waited Forty Years *â€" For This "Have you a piece of silk wovâ€" en tight enough to let the wind through, and yet light in weight?" * I boarded a ferrynamed "The Queen," and I stayed on that ferâ€" ry for nine trips, at five cents a ride . . . and still there was nothâ€" ing to be seen of the Wright Brothers $nd their flying machine. Then I remembered that there were wind bags on several corners which were to tell the public if the wind blew from a certain diâ€" rection there would be NO demâ€" onstration.

It was interesting to see the plane go between the hills and not even scrape wings on them. Not carrying any baggage, we were conspicuous, and as all passâ€" engers are carefully looked after. the host came over to tell us that the limousine was waiting to take us down to Avalon, the only. town on the island.! We were not interâ€" ested in Avalon, and that made us still more different from the averâ€" a€e passenger. Then I told the host that this was our first air trip; that I had been interested in aviation for forty years and told him my age. I told him I had traveled a great deal by boat and train, but had never been allowed to go by plane. I asked him how they leveled off the top of the mouritain. He gave us a lot of data about what they had done and were going to do. Even about the cottages they were going to build for people who want to get away from crowds for a rest. ‘Ideal spot to be, with a plane coming in twice a day. & I asked him why they didn‘t route over Avalon. _ Also menâ€" tioned I had been to Avalon twice some years before, the first time finding a very pretty little town, and the second, a place so commerâ€" cialized that we didn‘t like it at all. Hepasked if I would like to Bee it from above, and I said yes. He took me by the arm and we walked over to the pilot.â€" He told him my age, how long I had been interested in, aviation, that this was my first plane ride, and that I wanted to see Avalon from "the top." He then gave him orders to go back over Avalon. > ham, Jr., under the pen name of Geary Bingham, appeats in the April number of Esquire. .
