That is why Amy is flying to

Australia.

Perhaps you will find it difficult to believe, but Amy was actually bored to tears with her first fight in an airplane?

Bored By First Flight. She made it in a spirit of dare devilry and curiosity, I was then thirteen years old, and one day Amy said: "They are giving five- shilling trips at the aerodrome. Shall we go up !"

I said that mother and father would have a fit if they knew about it. That aroused the dare. devil in Amy. We sneaked out of the house, saying that we were going for a walk. I was feeling guilty, but Amy was as cool as an iceberg when we made a short flight round the aerodrome.

It was all over in a few minutes, and Amy's comment on landing was: "Well, there's nothing in it to make a fuss about, but it would be really interesting to have, an airplane of your own."

Then, later, Amy began to get restless as aaeeretary. She joined a Aying club in London and used to spend all her pocket money on fights at Stag. Lane Aerodrome, Hendon.

She put the maps away and said: "Now let us talk about getting a machine for the flight.”.

Getting a Machine. Fathor said that he would have to think it over. Next day Amy returned to London. During the next few weeks father had letter after letter from Amy in which she said she would never be happy until father gave her her chance.

Would you believe it? Father says he only just managed to get one kiss.

Amy will be just the same when she comes back.

Next to sentiment I think Amy dislikes small talk, meaningless silly conversation you hear some times in the drawing-room.

When she was a little girl she showed this.

She was the boatess to a number of other little boys and girls who had "been invited to tea. Amy listened for while to them. after

I am timid sometimes, but Amy is a daredevil. I am angry some times, and like most girls I laugh The craze for flying really got and I cry, but Amy is always the hold of her. It got hold of her same even-tempered darling, never so badly, in fact, that she used to really cross and too jolly ever to go to the nerodrome every morning' be dull.

Amy actually looked forward to them because they meant she would act have to go bed at the usual hour; but would be allowed to sit up till the "All Clear" was given. One week we had an air raid every night and Amy played carda through every raid and talked of the number of rooks she had brought down with her air-gun.
