QSIDE Af fhis momenf I fell' a grip on my arm and before I knew if, we were winging on fo Vienna. I was sfanding in a corner of fhe airporf fhere, medifafing and reminiscing when, suddenly, I heard fhe sfrains of music. From ouf of the blue Viennese sky fhere seemed fo come a voice from fhe pasf. I recognized fhe voice, and yef, could if be? I followed fhe direcfion from which fhe melody seemed fo come and was led fo fhe radio in fhe airporf resf room. I enfered iusf in fime fo hear fhe announcer say, You have iusf heard Miss Dorofhy Hafchefman, world famous soprano, coming fo you over sfafion WUSA. Miss Hafchefman was broughf fo you fhrough fhe courfesy of fhe Mildred Gurfh Opfimisfic Cigar Co. This greaf voice was accompanied by Horfense Kresbin, who once puf fhe King of England fo sleep on fhe piano. Now leaving Vienna far behind, I was soon seafed comforfably in my room in fhe rockef ship, peering anxiously from fhe windows, and waifing fo cafch a glimpse of fhe lighfs of fhe new Trifle Tower in Paris. I had nof long fo waif. Wifhin four' minufes I was sfrolling up on fhe sfreefs in fhe famous Lafin lllll Quarfer of Paris. If seemed fhaf fhe parlicular secfion fhrough which I was walking was lined on bofh sides of fhe sfreef wifh Iiffle brownsfone houses. In fhe windows of fhese houses were small signs which informed one of fhe occupafions of fheir inhabifanfs. If ere you wish a rhyme or fwo, we charge as liffle as a sou.-Gladiese Elkin. I If your disposifion cause you alarm, come fo me, l'lI give you charm.-Aneefa Peffei. If af fhe ball like a horse you prance, come inside and learn fo dance.-Shirlie Messere. Refurning fo fhe landing field we sfarfed on our lasf fhrilling hop over fhe Aflanfic fowards home. Twilighf was descending on fhe greaf Mefropolis when we landed af fhe Floyd Rennerf field. In a blaze of glory we were hailed by fhousands of specfafors who had filled fhe airporf fo cafch a glimpse of us. Mayor Irving Black, accompanied by Molly Swelf, Iafely crowned Miss Universe, personally greefed us, and we were escorfed fo fhe Abrams-Asforia hofel by his gracious colleague Eddie Paccucci, fhe good-look- ing Treasurer of fhe Cify of New York, appearing very prosperous wifh a big black poIifical cigar in his moufh, and accompanied by his charming secrefary, Helene Specinere. Af fhe hofel we were besieged by reporfers and phofographers clamoring for an inferview. As spokesman for fhe parfy, I confinually refused fo be inferviewed unfil I heard fhaf Irene Velvef, a Congresswoman from New York and also Edil'or-in- Chief of Esquire was among fhose seeking an inferview. A ' The nexf morning, as a climax fo our flighf, we were given a recep- fion af Washingfon. There we were decorafed wifh fhe Cross of Honor by fhe Presidenf of fhe Unifed Sfafes, Anneffe Highmonf, fhe firsf woman presidenf of our counfry. She delivered a magnificenf speech commending us for our bravery and courage in complefing our proiecf. Affer fhe Presidenf had finished speaking, fhe dignified Secre- fary of Sfafe, Thomas Beacon, infroduced Admiral Bernard Day Widow, Secrefary of fhe Navy, who affer years of efforf had finally culfivafed a man-sized handle-bar musfache. If was a sighf so vivid 'Ihaf if will remain a living picfure in my brain long affer many ofher hisforic episodes of my flighf are unforgoffen.
