fell to 13,ooo feet before regainine consciousness. Luckily, the plane dived in a long spiral and she was able to get it under control before it reached the ground.
 When she finally landed at Lind bergh field she was still groggy and her face was blue from the extreme cold of the upper air She had to be helped from her plane.
 Her log of that flight tells the story:
 "1:43-Took off 10 minutes ago. So far, flight like others.
 "1:53-10,000 feet. From up here can see clear to bottom of the bay. Pretty.
 "2:03-Colder. Just fixed altitude adjustm ent. Everything 0. k. Just put on my heavy gloves.

 "15,000 feet-Oxygen tank leak ing.
 -"17,0OG feet-Feet cold
 "1s,o00 feet-sleepy. Better use oxygen.
 I9,ooo feet-Cold Ground hay. Feel better with oxygen.
 10000 feet-Head aches"
 Then, in large shaky letters across the face of the card, Miss Alexander wrote:

 A few minutes later her oxygen supply became exhausted and she collapsed.
 Temperature Below Zero
 Up above the 10000 foot mark" says Miss Alexander, the temper ature was below zero. The engine had begun to labor. I tried to push the plane higher and did succeed for a while. Then it stalled and seemed to settle back after each climb.

CHIFFON PAJAMAS
 THREATEN ID STAY
Likely to Remain Popular for Autumn, Winter Wear

Paris, July 25 P-Chiffon paja- ma frocks promise to keep right or going when autumn and winter styles are launched
 Evening pajamas is the name the bifurcated chiffon frocks go under and they are having colossal suc- cess with young Europeans for wear in their own homes.
 Full skirted pajamas which fall Into long straight Grecian lines are most favored. Paris prefers chiffon but the people who make the styles hint that satin and chiffon velvet pajama frocks will be forthcoming for winter. r
 Most of the evening trouser- dresses have special coats which contrast strikingly in color In that they are still faithful to the pajama idea as contrasted with the one color ensembles for formal evening wear.
 Coats for pajama frocks may be bright colored chiffon velvet, supple lame or printed satin or taffeta. One Parisian pajama costume combines gray chiffon pajamas with shirred hips and pigeon ruby red velvet coat lined with gray.
 handful of style leaders have decided to discard short evening wraps in favor of mantles which are long in back and elaborately fur trimmed.
 The feminine half of society got a shock at the recent opening of a fashionable night club when the outstanding style leaders almost to a. woman appeared in heel-length wraps.
 some women go even furtber and sponsor trained evening wraps for formal wear. An important mode. of the trained type is cut away from surplice front which crosses just below the waist
 Some of the new long wraps fol- low closely on the Roman toga line, with scarf collars banded with fox fur. Others are close fitting affairs of chiffon velvet with wide sleeves bordered with fox.
 All the ambitious wraps of hem line length are fur trimmed, with fox the favorite.
