WHY not? Aeroplane trips eliminate all risks of discomfort on steamers and monotony on trains. Regular services are now flying between many of the principal cities of Europe, so that the traveller may make his business trip an enjoyable as well as a perfectly safe experience.

The journey from London to Paris by boat and train takes, roughly, nine hours; the trip by air but three! Apart from the economy ot time, the pleasurable thrill appeals to business and pleasure travellers alike.

You enter the stationary machine, the pro- pellers are started, the aeroplane tears along the ground at an ever increasing rate, the earth draws slowly away, and you realize that the light has commenced. At first you are conscious of a sensation of tremendous speed, but this decreases proportionately as the machine mounts farther away from the earth, so that when the flying altitude is attained you seem to be standing still, with the landscape drifting gently away to the rear, for all the world like a slowly moving relief map.

Safety? Glance out at the wide expanse of the wings, and the machine's enormous size cannot fail to bring a comforting sense of security. If you notice the *sang froid* on the pilot's face it will bring forcibly home to you the fact that light is an everyday business: a perilous adventure no longer.

Times of flight, departure and arrival are given between the various aeradromes, but fares include motor transportation between the aerodromes and the business centres of the arious cilies.

Together with your fellow passengers you are comfortably seated in an enclosed compartment, each with a window at your side through which to view the ever changing panorama. A glance earthwards shows that the green fields have given place to the vivid blue of the Channel. A new thrill comes with the realization that the sea is to you as is land, just a stage carpet for this wonderful and sensational journey-wonderful and sensational to you, that is; to the pilot it is only "to-day's jaunt."

Comes the land again. Once more the chequered plan of green fields spreads out in miniature below. Unconsciously you realize it is becoming more distinct. The ground comes slowly up to meet the aeroplane; the speed appears to increase, then slowly loses momentum. You stop.

You descend from the machine at your destination refreshed in body and mind. You have learned that an aerial trip is now a reliable method of travelling, that it saves time and is safe as well as enjoyable, and you determine to repeat your pleasant experience whenever the opportunity arises.
