The weather improved and she gained so in confidence that she felt disposed to try the good-smelling luncheon that the hostess was serv ing along the aisle. What tough luck now!

She recovered her confi dence and her apperfte be fore arriving at the Kalcigh- Durham airport, and the soup that fell on her jacket was well cleaned off in Chapel Hill. But it is not sur prising that when she start ed on the return flight it was without enthusiasm for air travel. She is a devotee of crime *'Vtiun and just as she was leaving for the airport her hostess took a paper-back from the living room table and held it out to her say ing: “Here’s an Agatha; Christie to take along with’ you.” Then they looked at the (Continued, on I’age 2) cac*h must he purchased by noon •Saturday.
