D. M.C. I. BREEZES 77 with the bridges. Towers are sta¬ tioned at two-block intervals for the taking on and off of passengers. In¬ side the towers are two tiny escala¬ tors, one for ascending and one for descending. The majority of the automobiles are trucks. There are few passenger cars. The better part of this taffic has gravitated to the air. The planes vary from tiny two-seater affairs to luxurious twelve-passenger craft. Let’s get in on this. At the taxi stand on the comer of Portage and Fort we hire a small open plane. As I am an experienced pilot we need no chauffeur. We go down the street slowly, trav¬ elling slightly higher than the ma¬ jority of the planes so as to get an unhampered view. Many buildings are flat-topped, some furnishing landing places, others gas and supply stations. Above the twenty-fifth story many of the office buildings turn into apartment blocks. This height is well above the ground traffic and out of the range of most of the airplanes. After a trip around the business section we land on the roof of the X building. On the thirty-seventh floor is the Neapolitan Tea Room. The name gives only a brief hint as to its distinctive features. The room is a huge lake with the tables on little islands. A large island in the centre houses the mechanical orchestra, which is run by one man. A tiny gon¬ dola comes up and we are rowed to a table by a picturesquely clad Ital¬ ian gondolier. The music stops and the announcer of the Ideal radio sta¬ tion comes on the television screen with the news items of the day. After an excellent repast we return to our plane. “Admired by our friends 99 DIAMONDS WATCHES PENS PENCILS ACCES¬ SORIES Whether the gift be travel accessories, a Pen or Pencil Set, a presentation Watch or Clock or the gift of gifts, a Dingwall Dia¬ mond, your gift from Dingwall’s is sure to receive a tribute of admiration from your friends—make its ownership all the more delightful to you.

Her make-up shows slight irregularities due to a hasty application. Eighth passenger: Rah-rah college boy. The ultra-modem in dress. A studied blase expression is directed at everything and everyone. Ninth passenger: A rather crabby female who will never see the sunny side of forty again. Extremely pre¬ cise in all movements. Carries a vol¬ ume of “Psychology of the Human Mind.” Tenth passenger: Ferocious-look¬ ing individual (bet he’s a Commu¬ nist). Gazes suspiciously at all in¬ mates of the car. He took a corre¬ spondence course in hypnotism. And so—ad infinitum. MAY DE WET, Room 8.
