WASHINGTON Bellies
TO STUDY AVIATION
First Woman to Plan Seri.
Gus Study. of
Flying

Tired of the "old-fashioned SPORT
of automobiling, roller skating, horse
back riding, tennis and all the other
athletic exercises which society has
INDUCED in for the past few years.
the society maids and matrons of the
capital are organizing an aviation sol
ciety to study aeronautics, and are
planning to start . regular school for
women eager to experience the de-
lights of flying.
The leaders of the movement are

naval attache Of the French embassy

schoolgirl; Mrs. Nicholas Longworth;
who retains the girlish vivacity and
daring Of her Princess Alice" days.
and MISS Gladys Hinckley, by many
considered the handsomest unmarried
girl in society, who is ain" for all that
which makes for good, thrilling sport,
be it hunting Or careening around the
Washington monument IN an airship.
Many others are interested in the
movement and the school promises
to be a genuine success.
The question Of aviation costumes
is the one at present before the as

sweater coats and caps will be cons
sidered CONNIE II fault" or whether
motoring costumes will be worn will
not be settled until the modistes OF
Paris give out final edict as to what
the woman who flies should wear.
In the meantime the question gives
chance for many interesting meetings
among enthusiastic aeronauts.
The viscountess day, one of the
best all around sportswomen in SOD
ciety. is no novice to the pleasures Of
the aeronaut. Already she has made
flights with French aviators and I'M
this country has been the companion
of Claude Grahame-White in flight.
For Mrs. Longworth the sport has
always had an irresistible fascination.
Even in the early days of aeroplan-
ing. when the Wright brothers, pio-
neefs in the field of aeronautics, were
making their flights over at Fort
Myer and all the world flocked to
see them, Mrs. Longworth's motor
was always to be noticed on the days
when there was to be flight, and it
required a determined stand on the
port of Representative Nick Long
worth to restrain his wife from try
ing a flight with one Of the inventors
Miss Gladys Hinckley is equally en-
thusiastic.
1--WE believe aeronautics will be-
come as popular a sport for women
as horse riding has," she says. It
am greatly interested in it, and am
going to do all in my power to pro-
mote it among my friends. just think
how lovely it must be to go whizzing
through the air, high above the
ground, at so miles an hour.

Many Women Now Garry

eyes Of the feminine world.
Monocles are, however, an expen-

Of women are taking their gold and
silver lorgnettes and having one glass
removed in order that the monocle
idea may be approached without the
expense of purchasing a new glass.
Chains, of course, may be worn
without the new monocles. the same
as they were worn with the lorgnette,
but the correct way is to have the
glass suspended by means of black
grosgrain ribbon u inches long and
three-eighths of an inch broad, orna-
mented with handsome jeweled slide,
or, If preferred, three or five small
slides.
Besides these monocles on ribbons
there are tiny folding ones that slip
into the palm of the glove and are
carried about in this fashion to- a
luncheon or matinee. while others
are made to put into the purse.

EVERY GIRL POSSESSES
A CASTLE OF DREAMS


TUST over the edge of the land OF
dreams there are wonderful cas-
ties erected by girls the world
over.
Some are wee fats where art Is
spelt with a capital A. and fame and
fortune guard the threshold; some are
modest suburban homes where the
laughter of little children re-echoes,
and some are stately palaces where
luxury and all the power OF vast
wealth hold sway.
There is no limit to the architect
ure of these castles, you know; no
carpenters and builders to grumble II
we add wing on wing to make room
for new dreams. new hopes and new
ambitions, for in the land of dreams,
the castles OF make-believe are al
ways just what we want most.
But how many girls, were they
suddenly given reality instead OF a
dream, would be able to take their
place at the head of the household
which is the summit of their ambi-
tons?
Does the artist or the young writ
er with her dreams of fame ever stop
| to realize that even a genius has to
eat, or ever wonder what she could
cook if called upon for such thing?
Could She Make
Him Comfortable?
Does the young girl whose dreams
are of a stalwart husband ever Ques-
ton her capability of making him
comfortable and running a home?
| Over III Germany little band OF
club women have been discussing the
question of forced domestic service
for every girl. They believe thai
men have been much improved by the
necessary years in the army, and
that along the same lines girl should
improve by a year or two of domes'
tic training and discipline.
Such an idea would certainly never
find favor here. We have too many
other things for our girls to do. ant
besides there is no American mother
willing to have her daughter put inte
some one else's household to learn the
rudiments of cooking.
But the idea brings out one poinl
worth while: 1t is the cry that girls
of today are growing too helpless.
The increase in the number of ser.
wants in the average household, the
| mothers inevitable belief that bel
daughter is still too young to take
up the duties of her home, have
brought up around us generation o.
girls quite helpless when it comes tt
actually running house.
Teach Her to
| Run the House
Why not. then. make domestic ser.
vice compulsory In our homes? Teach
the girl how to run her dream castle
if it ever becomes reality. Teach
her, too, the sweetness Of lifting a lit
tie of tie daily burden off her moth
er's shoulders. and the details of JUS
what home really means.
No amount of suffrage or bushes!
can, after all, do away with the dream
castles of the girl, and a little train
ing in real home will make tina
dream far more dear than it is nov
in the land of make-believe.
