This summer English tourists have now opportunities for aerial holiday* hitherto unparalleled. The "magic carpet" now afforded by accelerated air services is opening up Europe to the holiday-maker in a fashion which would have seemed incredible prior to the advent of ' the flying expresses. What air speed can now accomplish is illustrated by a, service which came into force on July 1. This enables holiday folk to reach Stockholm in a day from London. Among other cities which can now be reached in a dayAare Budapest, Rome, Barcelona and Madrid Some remarkable return trips can be made in a day by those who enjoy highspeed outings. One can fly over in the morning to Switzerland, lunch at Zurich, and return to London the same evening. It is also possible to leave Croydon by an early service for Copenhagen, spend several hours in that city, and be back in London the same night. If you wash your hot-water bottles every few months with water to which a little soda has been added, they will last longer, and they will not become hard. Dark blue and black materials easily become stained with salt water. Vinegar will restore their colour, if rubbed on with a piece 6f the same material. It is wiser to wear only light-coloured | washlng frocks at the seaside.
