Marie went up with her par- ents recently, expecting to sec herselt become smaller and smaller as the plane rose, as sl often had seen her father ap- pear to do as she watched him from the ground. As the plane went up, Marie's father related with much zest, she paid no attention to the scenery, but watched anxio *to see herself become smaller. To her disappointment no such thing happened, and when her father later asked her: “How did you like it e an- swered: “I don't think you know how to fly.” But a few days later she had recovered enough faith in her father not to cry when a naugh- ty boy cut the string of her toy balloon. She watched it soar skyward and then said: “Daddy, vou go up in your plane and get my balloon.” LIEUT.
