In her previous flight, which was made in an, open cockpit plane, Miss Smith suffered severely from the extreme cold, but her father, Tom Smith, actor and amateur pilot, disclosed that this time she was amply protected against any chilling blaata. “She won't be freezing this time,” he said. - “No, not even if it gets a lot colder than any of us expect: Ellie's got her heavies on—her mother and I saw to that before we let her start.” Outwardly Miss Smith was the picture of a modern “flying flap- per.” She waa dressed in knickers, golf howe, a red leather flying coat and helmet. She carried « large supply of sandwiches, coffee and water.
