London.—Le Petit Journal pnb- Uahea a description of the experience of « yaaaenger on board an aeroplane in tbne of war. Tbe start took place one gray dawn. Rlan, the pilot, a famous civilian aviator, clothed in tbe leather 'armor of bis craft, re¬ ceired the following orders from his captain:
"Ton wtn con-«'ey a-^assenger and
dlspatchea straight north to .
Tour orders are simply to get tbem there. Tou must take no risks en route. If tbe enemy brings you down, destroy both the dispatches and the
aeropboie. If you get through to ,
go at once to the general with your passenger, wbo will give bim a ver¬ bal message. Oood luck and 'quick' Is tbe wotrd."
Tbe passenger's story continues:
"While the pilot was looking o^er his maditne, I took my place with tbe diapatcbes between my legs and a carbine slung along the framework on either side. The machine ran jolting along the groand and rose percep¬ tibly in front of me. The pilot, lashed to his neat, sat motionless and atten¬ tive, regulating the course with little movements of the levers.
"We started directly north, tossed a littte by an east wind, which caught us under one wing.
"fikiddemly the pilot cut off the mo¬ tor, and nothing was audible except the whistHng of the wind through the rigKlng of the aeroplane. He turned to me, pointed out some little black emolce puffs far below us, and signed to me to listen. But I could hear nothing except the wind. Then the motor started again, and the steady hum covered everything.
"The emoke puffs grew nearer and more numerous. We tried to rise still higher, when a great wind came and threw us to one side. The ever ready pilot righed ns but another and more terrible shock hnrted us vertically upwards.
"Then we began to fall. The smoke and flashes were now quite near us, and we were thrown this way and that by great blasts of air. Still we forged ahead at full speed, clinging to the framework.
"I awaited the Inevitable end, in¬ capable of thinking. Then suddenly calm was restored. We had passed the danger zone and beneath us stretched a great forest, cut here and there with ravines.
"Hardly had we recovered a sense of security than the danger reap¬ peared in all its horror. As we left the zone of danger our aeroplane be¬ gan to list over. The pilot, having done his utmost to right us, cut off the motor and, half turning his head, gazed towards our left wing, where a strip of torn canvas was streaming in the wind.
"At once our headlong descent l>e- gan, ending with an abrupt landing in a narrow glade. No one but that pilot could have attempted so desperate a maneuver with success.
"Calm, though with face drawn with anxiety, he Jumped to the earth, shouting, 'Take your carbine while I repair the damage," and he set to work to fasten a patch over the torn wing. 'Quick,' he added, 'quick; if the "Boches" (Germans) come flre at them. Then I will set the maehln^ on fire and we will make a run for iV
"Soon we were in our places ready to go. The propeller was started and we rose, but three horsemen at the edge of the glade came towards us at a mad pace and their height seemed to grow as we approached.
"It seemed we never would rise above them, but suddenly with a bound that carried us up almost ver¬ tically we passed above them, and then anpin we were looking down on a sea of troops at the edge of the for¬ est. Smoke and pun flashes reap¬ peared, but a sudden swerve enabled us to regain the cover of the forest and gsin an altitude.
"When we came out again, lost in the sky, the g;uns had ceased to flre, and descending slowly, we landed within the French lines."
TO DECORATE FLOWER POT
Ordinary Receptacle May Be Made Fit j for the Adornment ef Any
I Room.
riower and pbut pots, as they are In tbeir natural atste, Are not suitable Tor all rooma, so tbey need putting in setter pots. Tbis, of course, meana '.hat we cannot bave as many planta (tboot aa we should like, for nice pota are expensive. However, by a very simple device the ordinary plant pot can be so decorated as to suit any room. In these days wallpapers are very artistic and refined In coloring, and after the decorators have been|in a house tbere are always spare piecea of paper at hand.
Choose the most suitable of these papers, and simply cover tbe pots with tbem, nslng ordinary paste. If the pot bas a top rim, tbat sbould be done first, taking care tbat tbe paper Ilea quite flat For aittlng and bedrooms a pretty sprig patterned paper looks very dainty; for a dining room a dark embossed paper Is effective. Stamps and scraps can, of course, be put to tbe same uae.
When tbe paper is quite dry on tbe pots, it sbould be brushed over with a varnish caned white hard spirit var- Dlah; tbis givea « beautiful clear gloss
to the paper, so much so that it will look like a china pot painted with pretty flowers. This also preserves the paper, and the pot may at any time be washed. This varnish may be bought at any paint shop; it is sold loose, and is quite che.ap. |
Flower pots may be effectively dec-1 orated with broken china; this mate¬ rial, alas! is to bo found in most homes. Putty will,l)e needed to put all round the pot. "The pieces of china ai'e then arranged on it as near to- | gether as possible. The joints of putty that will be seen in between may be ' painted over with gold or silver paint, or any other color desired. This lat¬ ter method of decoration will be found most interesting for children to do; it Is quite easy, and a splendid hobby for them on wet days. By these sim¬ ple means it is possible to have many plants in th« living rooms, adding the brightness and Interest that Is ol>- talned by watching tbe growth of liv-j ing things. I
FLOUNCED DRESSES IN WHITE
Embroidered Muslins Are Perhaps the Best Liked—Scarf Properly Com¬ pletes the Costume.
The white embroidered muslins are much admired. The flounces decrease la circumference as they near the feet, cmd' glyen tbe peculiar silhouette of the moment that everybody who wishes to be fashionable tries to imi¬ tate.
It is, however, only the best dress¬ makers who seeqi to succeed in mak¬ ing a graceful line.
These flounced dresses are either In white muslin or white embroidered net over a very thin white foundation. A scarf crosses the bust and ties at the hack; It Is in black satin of the non-shiny order. Sometimes the scarf is worn over one shoulder and some¬ times tied around the waist in the I bayadere fashion, but invariably in I blaclc.
I In this Instance the hat worn Wns
I in black satin, with white foliage, but
I In. many cases large black hats in
either velvet, satins or taffeta are seen
with white dresses.

I Tassel Trimmings Are the Most Popu- I lar, Owing, Perhapa, to Their I Present Novelty.
Tassel-trimmed pendants are rap¬ idly becoming the accepted novelty in daytime jewelry.
