SHE HAS NO SKIRTS
Flapper Motorists Waste Chances on
Woman Traffic Cop.

New York. April 22.-FYirty, flap
per motorists who yesterday threw adj
miring glances at a handsome. eff
cient and new traffic officer stationed
at busy Lexington avenue and Forty
second street, were chagrined today
to learn that their provocative meth
DDS had been wasted on one of their
own sex.
For the handsome. efficient and
new traffic officer was none other
than Miss Mary Allen, commandant
Of London's twenty police women. who
arrived Sunday to study American
police methods.
She wanted first-hand information
in traffic regulation, SO she was per-
mitted TO replace the regular Off
Ger at the bustling corner. The slim,
bronzed figure in high boots, dark
blue uniform coat reaching to the
knees, slender hands nGttily gauntleted
and head encased in trim. gold
braided cap, was the mark of the
eyes of flapper motor car drivers. But
not twinkle jumped from the large
brown eyes of the new officer; there
was nothing but efficiency.
Miss Allen doesn't own a skirt. she
declared later. Under her long uni
form coat she wears riding breeches.
When on her country place in Eng
land. on week-ends. she said, she
wears corduroys and Q SLOUGH hat. Her
hair is cut short at the back and over
the ears-not bobbed. They don't
permit it on the London force, she ex-
planned.
On Thursday Miss Allen will go
to Buffalo to be the guest of the
National League OF Women Voters.
