Seated in his rogn at one of the great Gotham hotels last night the aviator told more of his daring flight. Few New Yorkers realized that In completely clr- cling the city with an aeroplane the youngster had accomplished that which Ro other man had ever done. Probably not more than a dozen in the entire 5,000,000 recalled that only two or three other aviators had ever flown around the great statue of the Goddess of Libs erty In New York harbor, and none of them seemed to speculate on the fact that the thing which Hall and Gllpatric did in the harbor on Friday hardly caused comment, while Moisant, two years am was called the “greatest of them al for doing the same feat, It in probable that Hall, even, a4 not fem! thie, ¢or he was perfectly matter-of-fact as he talked to the reporte “Tell my story Gilpatric ‘to Hall, ‘Phe first thing | want to may te that Gilpatrie im about the best young flyer I ever saw,” he began. “He is cool, de- Mberate and fearless, and I don't think the trip woudl have boon half eo auc- cessful if he had not been along. I be- eve he will Decome one of the best known aviators tn the world within the next two or three years. What do I think about flying over Now York? I don't know, for I've never done euch @ thing.” He leaned forward confidentially. “But I'm going to do that very thing before long, license or mo license,” he whispered. “This town looks easy to me, and I do not want you to think I am boasting in say- ing that, I believe any experienced, fearlews aviator would think the same thing adter undergoing an experience similar to mine, “IT can tell you what flying around Now York is like, though.

Two of them, held together with braid loops, formed the coat fastening, and three of them trimmed each sieeve. At the wrists the softly starched rolls of his turn-back cuffa appeared with round links of pearl centred with dia- monds. Four atuds to match held the front of his shirt, which was finely Plaited, but not so fine as the ordinary thouaand-piaited style. His collar was a mont noticeable fea- ture! Open in front with a spread of at least an inch, the pointe extended out beyond the chin, while the width was extraordinary. No one but Berry Wall could have worn it with such con- fidence and grace And no doubt be- cause of its inevitavie comfort It was the envy of many a man who would have worn such a creation, His waist- coat was of brocade silk, with wide re- vers, whoee soft roll showed tneide of his coat, HELPS WIFE SELECT HER OWN GOWNS, HE CONFIDES, It was at an afternoon tea the fol- lowing day that Mra, Wall ai attired in the charming little frock which I have sketched and which Mr. Wall, in a half confiding manner, as- sured me he aided in selecting. Of a faded blue chiffon cloth, closely Ggured with @ small raspberry and pale yellow colored flower, the dress was made in that @weet almple style ao becoming to every age. Double fichus of the ma- terial edged with deep cream color Alencon lace, draped the shoulders, Gropping to the elbows, and crossing in both front and back in the manner shown. The skirt was very full at the top, deing caught up in pannter effect at each side and draped into a panel of raspberry color eilk in back which fell from @ girdle of the same. In regard to this Greas Mr, Wall re- marked: “I like those little Dolly Var- den effects," and to my mind It was quite In harmony with his expressed admiration fbr the sweet @dftashioned girl, So I was not surpetsed when he expreased his views on suffrage, up- hoiting strongly the ant T fee!

I believe a careful aviator is as safe as he possibly can be anywhere while he is flying around New York. “Before we started to make the cli cult of the city we went down to the Statue of Liberty, circied it three times, and then flew to the Ambrose Channel Ught vessel. It was all as easy and comfortable as could be, and we had no trovsle at all, though our machine had was naturally somewhat affected by the dampness.
