THROUGH WOMEN’S EYES

"SIMPLY MARVELLOUS.” [ Pei- Press Association. ■ NEW PLYMOUTH, Doc. 4. “It was simply marvellous,” Mrs. Ulm and Miss Kathleen Rogers chorused when asked their opinion on the trans-I’asuiau flight. “1 would go again like a shot,” said Airs. Ulm. “It was the most wonderful experience of iiiy life,” declared Miss Kogers. iiiese two women share the distinction of being tho first ladies to cross the Tasman uy air, and to say that they relished their unique experience would be to understate tue ease.

“The whole trip was 100 thrilling and too beautiful for words,” said Airs. Ulin. “ The weather was perfect the whole way across. We saw the fiery sunset upon ih e endless expanse of fleecy white clouUb. We saw the yellow moon appear out of tho blue lieavens and sued her soil radiance upon the world. Hundreds of miles out in th e ocean we saw the sun, a ball oi flame, rise from the east and give its warming rays to the earth, li was a never-to-be-forgotten experience. ’ ’ “bo enthralled were we by tho ever changing beauty unfolded before us that we did not sleep a wink. We were not a bit tired; we were too excited and happy to feel tired. We tried to play curds for a short way across,” remarked Alias Rogers, “but we were too interested in what was going on. There was not a dull moment the whole time. Personally 1 was somewhat tired when we reached New Plymouth, but that welcome acted as a tonic on me, and now 1 feel as fit and fresh as anybody.”
