By ELEANOR

NEW YORK, Dec. 17—I landed safely at home Sunday night just 10 minutes late! This shows that even at this _ancertain time of year one can have very good luck flying

across the ocean.

We were two hours late leaving the Paris airport, so instead of getting off at 2:10 a. m. Sunday, we left at 4 a. m. We landed at Shannon, Ireland, about 6:30, and we were all in the airport for,

to the differences of life over here. We heard in “Shannon that|

there had been a snowstorm at the Gander airfield in Newfoundland and that seven feet of snow lay -on the landing field. No

Shortly after, however, word came that one runway was ‘usable, so we were off and though we circled for three-quarters of an hour over Gander, waiting for other planes to land, all went moothly.

INewsmen Meet

Mrs. Roosevelt Here again, it seemed to me, that the babies and young mothers and fathers had taken over the airport. Soldiers were everywhere, carrying their babies, |: giving them bottles or keeping them quiet while the mothers went to get something to eat. From Gander we got off very promptly and made up the time 165t and I was more than happy to see my son Elliott and daughter Anna waiting for me at the, airport. Iwas not quite so happy to see the newspapermen and the hewsreels with their strong lights and the radio all waiting for me! Having been on the plane a good many hours, I knew that I couldn't look very tidy and that my hat was certainly on crooked, not having had a looking-glass in which to peek. |

When the four spade bid came] around to Mr. Dale, he rather| wishel he had started showing his two suits on the first round of bidding, instead of redoubling. He decided to bid five clubs as that call would leave the way open to play at the five range in either minor suit. :

Redouble Was Not in Order

Mr. Abel didn’t like clubs at all. He bid” five diamonds which North promptly doubled. Mr, Dale experienced a warm and comfortable feeling over this contract. He felt it could easily be made even if his partner had a rock-bottom minimum. “Why--not-redouble then? The Answer 1 that a redouble-would be tactically wrong.

I had so completely forgotten what could happen here that I was late for my first broadcast!

Yesterday I stole away and motored up to the country for a few hours and found that my two little dogs were ‘glad to see mie, but nevertheless were able to get along quite well without me!
