From stately home to hum ble cottage, the feat of this daring aviator In Hying alone from New I York to Paris wan still tne sole | topic of conversation today, while i at country fair and in city cafe his name was heard repeatedly. When today at noon Prealdenl Doumergue pinned on Lindbergh's breast the cross of the legion of 1 Honor, the president was In a real I sense agtlng In the name of the | whole nation. It Is felt every-' where that this flne young Amer-j lean has done more In a few hours to promote genuine sympathy be-! tween the two people* than vol- j umes of speeches and reams of lit erature. The story of Lindbergh, his life, ambitions, flight experience* and particularly the details of his crowning achievement, fills the newspapers to the exclusion of all else, for the simple reason that nobody wants to read about any thing else. The American embassy, the av iator's temporary quarters. Ih crowded with floral offerings and Is being bombarded with invita tions of a diversified nature. It seems to be the ambition of every aspiring hostess to have him at her table, of the organisers of sports meetings to have him pre side, of scientific socletien to have hlrn lecture, of vaudeville promot ers to have him give performance. Lindbergh says he would like to please everybody but Is obliged to admit It Is Impossible to accede to even one-tenth of the requests. He will be guided In acceptance* by Myron T.
