AMONG THE
LADIES

LIZ Az A~O
days. Lindbergh's tremendous ex-
plot has stimulated a feminist in
fluence in flying as truly as it
has given impetus to ambitious
projects for commercial air lines.
There was one woman, Mrs. Han.
ford MacNider, wife of the Assis-
tant Secretary of War, in the es-
cort which flew up to New York
with Col. Charles A. Lindbergh
yesterday afternoon. And this
morning, if you please. Mrs.
Edward Beale Mclean hoped
off" to Cincinnati. This air jour
ney had, of course, nothing directly
to do with Colonel Lindbergh's
flight, but one may safely chalk
up to his credit the development
of Mrs. McLean's interest to such
a point.
During his New York stay Colo
mel Lindbergh is the guest of F.
Trubee Dawson. assistant secretary
Of war for aeronautics, and Mrs.
Dawson at their home at Locust
Valley, l.. I. Colonel and Mrs
MacNider are also their guests and
last evening the Davisons had a
dinner for the group who accom-
panied Colonel Lindbergh to New
York.
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth was
one of the first women in WASH
ington to fly. The story goes that
10 years or more ago Representa-
tive and Mrs. Longworth went out
to nearby flying field to inspect
a plane which was making early
experiments in flying. The pilot
asked them If they would like to
so up. Mr.. Longworth's reply
was a most emphatic mo" A
few moments later, when his at.
tention was conferred elsewhere,
Mrs. Longworth hoped in, hoped
off and waved a gay farewell to
her earthbound husband.
If remember correctly Mrs.
Elliot MacFarlan Moore, daughter
of Rear Admiral William A. Moi.
tett, Navy aviation head, used to
fly occasionally when she was
MISS Janet Moffett, and lots of
washington girls have gone up oc.
caslonally. The latest development
OF the feminine influence in avia.
ton was luncheon given in the
air by Mrs. Henry Berliner, whose
husband is the lessee of Hoover
Field, where much is being done
to stimulate general interest in
commercial flying. Several guests
attended and luncheon was served
very comfortably aboard a giant
plane.
