The aeroplane honeymoon of Major E. L. Williams, R.A.F., and his bride, who recently began their wedded life in this unconventional fashion, was not the first example of a eloudland wedding trip. As long ago as 1879 (when aero- planes and airships were probably not 'r even dreamt of) the late Sir Henry Colville, then a clashing young captain in the Grenadier Guards, and his bride startled society by opening their honeymoon in a balloon. Probably one of the most romantic and enjoyable of these aerial honey- moon trips was that of M. Camille Flammarion, the famous Belgian as- tronomer, and his charming and dar- ing bride. For 13 hours they sailed together "in company with the sunset - kissed clouds ancl, later, under a canopy of twingling stars." "My delight," Maclaine Flammarion says, "was inexpressible; to sit be- side niy newly -macre Husband-- -here in the sky, travelling I knew not whore. We were in the starry skies, having at our feet clouds that seemed vast mountains of snow; an impressive unearthly landscape — white alps, glaciers, valleys, ridges, precipices. It was a scene beyond all words!" At one time there was quite a craze for freak honeymoons; they were spent on tandem bicycles, in caravans, on motor tours, while an American t took his bride from. the church to his small boat in which they were to cross the Atlantic. Honeymoon in Polar Regions. An adventurous pair of Swiss lovers, both keen mountaineers, chose the summit of. 11out Blanc (which is 15,- 732 ft. above sea -level) as the place for their honeymoon, and there, amid the snow -clad peaks and under Arctic - like conditions, they braved it to- gether for over a week. Even more strenuous and Hazardous was 1 the honeymoon of the Comte d Y Lesdain and his bride, who left the altar on a perilous journey from Pekin to Calcutta, climbing mountains 20,- 000 feet high. tramping through desol- ate regions where for two mouths they saw no living soul, escaping drowning in swollen rivers as by a miracle, liv- ing on the game they could shoot, and wandering for days on vast deserts and mud plateaux. It was the fear of a boring boney- moon that inspired Mr. Max Fleisch- man, the American millionaire, to spend $75,000 on an after -wedding trip to the Polar regions. A special ship was ed and manned bya crew of 19. When Mr. Fleischman returned with his bride to Cincinnati he de- clared the honeymoon worth every penny he had spent. "Forty-seven days," he said, "we spent running steadily against the gathering ice in an effort to land on the north-east coast of Greenland." Very fine sport was half, and the hap- py couple, dressed in leather -lined sheepskin, were lucky enough to kill 30 head of reindeer, 100 seals and 23 polar bears, Pllost Adventurous of Trips. When Major Powell -Cotton led his bride to the altar at Nairobi, in Bri- tish East Africa, it was the prelimin- ary to perhaps the most remarkable wedding journey ever undertaken. Turning their faces westwards the brave couple plunged into the very heart of "darkest Africa," making their way through hundreds of leagues of dense forest, hob-nobbing with pig- mies and cannibals, who had never be- fore set eyes on a white woman, ex- ploring the wilds of Congo Land and Uganda, and after a year and -more of such adventures as made Stanley famous, finding their way back to civilization, travel -worn• but vowing that they had had an "ideal honey- moon." oneymoon." Quito different was the honeymoon. enjoyed by a well-known cyclist and his bride. This resolved itself into run across Europe, via the Balkins, to Constantinople by motor bicycle and trailer, a trip which, although success- fully completed, would have daunted most young couples. Needless to add, this happened before the war. It was a Scottish couple who hit upon the uncommon idea of spending their honeymoon in a furniture van, which they hired and had fitted up for the purpose. In this somewhat pon- derous vehicle they made their way leisurely from Glasgow to Aberdeen. eAk Passing Him Along. It isn't exactly a common occur- rence to find a man standing in a pub- lic highway holding a ram by the horns, and the passerby was interest- ed. "Will ye please hold on to this beast while I climb the fence and open that gate?" asked the man politely, "Certainly," ---.replied the stranger, And he did so. "Thanks!" said the pian from the other side of the folrce.
