SEATTLEITES and Potiatch visitors who gaze into the skies next month to follow the maneuvers of a powerful biplane manipulated by an intrepid young feminine person will not exclaim, "That's Miss McKey!" Dan Cupid has altered matters considerably since the aviation trials were held on Harbor Island some time ago to choose flyers for Potlatch week.

Let it be known the the former Miss Alys McKey is now Mrs. "Johnny" Bryant, wife of the daring aviator.

It all happened during the aviation meet at Boise, Idaho. Johnny had just given the spectators a thrill on Memorial Day by getting off the ground with his big biplane with but a few feet to spare on either side, when his flying partner announced to Manager Fred A. Bennett that she, too was going to perform the feat. It was too risky and she must not take the chance, remarked Bennett

"I'll go any place that my husband does!" came the quick reply of the aviatrice. Bennett gasped, shot a hurried glance at the rings on her fingers, and it then dawned upon him that she and Johnny, with the aid of an obliging Boise minister, had "put one over on him" the day previous, May 29.

She made the flight, too.
