STYLE CHATS
With ALMA ARCHER

There are a lot of CnderellaS
around after the party is over. It's
all very grand TO put your last dol
lor and fifty cents on an outfit
for folks at the dance, but on the
authority of the more sought-af
sWains, it seems that the male fails
to remember the next day what
the darling he danced with was
wearing. He'll remember her to
be delicate, alluring and something
nice for sWirling, but is all hazy
about her dress. If she made the
mistake of putting tie family jew
els on sale TO get that evening tog-
gerry. it's Just too bad, because
what's going to count with the mag
nificent prince will be the trim
heel and ankle, neat, Well-cut coat,
a hat with Verve, and a freshly
3loyed hand, which should be the
bag of tricks to be used for the
luncheon date made at the dance
Under the spell of romance. Those
flashing moments which every
woman experiences until she's 100.
are not tie moments to dress for,
as it's thousands more important
TO be better dressed and properly
urned out for ordinary day occe-

effort to bridge the Pacific by air
transports
During the years since 1928, when
Kingsford- Smith new his big tri-
motored Southern Cross from Cali
fornia to Australia, great progress
has been made in air transportation.
In 1928 Arthur Goebel, winner Of the
Dole race from San Francisco to Ha-
wall, set Q new transcontinental rec
ord by flying from Los Angeles to New
York In 10 hours So minutes. Today,
air transport passengers cross the
United States every day on regular
schedule in less time than Goebel re-
quired for the trip in his racing plane
six years ago.
In 1928 Bert Hinkler new from
London to Australia in fifteen and
one-half days, reducing by twelve
days the fastest previous record. A
few days ago Scott and Black made
the flight in less than seventy one
hours.
Six years ago Kingsford-Smith's q
flight from America to the Antipodea
was regarded as little better than q
stunt" Today his return over the
same course may be looked upon a
an augury Of the regular service
which we are told we may expect
within the coming year.
