Heir TO Millions.
Wins Lesley
BOgert
By NANCY RANDOLPH

NEW YORK, Jan. 81 (C.T.PSO.
Society will not be exactly sur
prised to learn that Lesley Bogert
and Francis Taylor have been
shopping for a marriage license.
The romance has been flou1-
ishing under the eyes of the New
York NeWport-Palm Beach set these
many months. And as soon as
Francis second wife, the thrice.
married Mrs. Mona McAdoo de
Morenschildt CoWes Taylor, OBJ
tanned her Reno divorce decree a
few days ago, it was a foregone
conclusion among the Four Hun
dred that Lesley and the son of
Mrs. G. j. Guthrie Nicholson and
the late Moses Taylor, would set
their marriage date at once.
SUNDAY WEDDING
When the beautiful patent medi,
cine heireSs and the heir to the
Taylor millions obtained their
marriage license they said they
would be married Sunday at the
Central Presbyterian Church.
Lesley is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Beverley Bogert (the
former Josephine PearSon). She
and Bev were the best-knoWn
father-and-daughter "big apple"
combination in society all last sea-
Son AMI the season before.
Lesley has been one of the most
popular gals in the -Four Hundred
ever since she made her debut in
Newport in 1884. and has cut a
wide sWath in European circles
as we'll.
CURTSEY AT COURT
The year the Bogert girl was
presented to society here, she also
made her curtsey at the Court Of
st. James's. Two years ago the
transatlantic cables hummed with
news of the dinner dance at which
the Bogerts entertained handsome
young King Leopold of Belgium.
And, last summer, the Bogerts
gave the only large party in New
port for Prince Bertil, dashing son
of the Crown Prince of Sweden.

WHY GET UPSET?

"Why should Harvard boys
get upset about the debutante
Situation?" asked Eleanor, who
recently had a party at the
White House. "They hold no
monopoly"
Just another sample of Har-
ward insufferable feeling of su-
periority," commented Nancy
Campbell Tenney, wealthy debu-
tante. "Give me Yale or Prince
ton men anytime"
Joseph Lyford, Of Westport
Conn.,, sophomore editor of tn
Crimson, said:
Most fellows agree heartily
that if every invitation is ac-
cepted we'd have no time to
study-and, after all, we are in
college to study"

BOSTON, Jan. 81 QN.S).

today.

Delivering War Planes

(New York Times)
 With the element of the unexpected that so often marks wartime developments two hamets in North America break into the news with regard to the supply of airpanes to the Allies Military training planes built in California flown this week to Sweetgrass, Mont, to land in a cow pasture airport just this side of the border They were hen lowed across the international boundary to the adjacent landing field at Coutts Alberta, after being duly delivered and paid for on the American side of the line provided in the Neutrality Act. That Canada finds this method of delivery to her liking made, clear in dispatch from Ottawa last night Canada hungry for training planes by the hundred and for other combat types, and offer ing easy point of transshipment to Great Britain still cannot send her military pilots to take delivery of what she needs United States soil, can pilots, under the neutrality provisions fly mili- tary airplanes into Canada.
 The process of knocking down. cratng and ship ping airplanes, which is being followed in the of exports to Great Britain and France, would be highly cumbersome and cause needless expense and delay in the case of Canada. The expedent of towing a grounded airplane the line has the sanction of Government The practice may be widely extended for not only does Canada require very large number of training craft; in addition that country would be ideal jumping off place for large combat units when spring weather makes it possible for such craft to be delivered by air the Atlantic With foresight, which must seem to them fortunate the British have constructed an extraordinary ardrome at Hatties Camp, New foundland the main paved runway of which is than mile long and 1000 feet wide It should be capable of handling the largest land aircraft which foreign customers might buy.
