DOINGS IN FOREIGN PARIS—— French Hospital Nurse Qualifies as Air Pilot — Anti-Collar League Organized in Paris. e Paris, Oct. 23—*"Lend me your lipstick; my lips are all parched from the cold,” were the first words spoken by Mademoiselle Deny Collin when she landed after a full hour's flight which qualified her for the third femin- ine aerfal pilot's license issued in France. The request was addrossed to Mademoiselle Adrienne Bolland, who in 1921, was the first I'rench woman to obtain a license and who ad watched her friend’s flight with great in- terest. Madame Louise Maryse, who qualified 1s & pilot last year, was not present. During her test of 60 minutes in a heavy iplane, Mlle. Collin looped t loop, glided with motor cut-off and other stunts and easily passed her examination. A nurse with the French hospital corps during the war, the voung woman flew for the first time when she accompanied a wounded French general in a plane from Rheims to Paris. She then vowed that she would be an aviatrix. Later she be- came a parachute jumper, dropping no less than 40 times from airplanes in full fight. She has an autograph letter from M. Laurent 1L nac, then air minister in France, congratulat- ing her for her “services rendered to French aviation.” YOUNG ROYALTY WINS BET . Infante Don Jamie, second son of the King of Spain, spent a few hours in Paris betwcen trains while returning from London to Madrid recently and improved the beautiful autumn day as well as the state of his finances by a little business with the “pari-mutuel” booths t Longchamp race track. The Infante sat in the stand nervously clutching a few thousand tickets bet on the Argentine owned, trained and ridden three vear old Biribi, who turned up as the winner of the last big fixture of the flat racing season, the Arc de Triomphe stakes. As Biribt flashed past the wire two and a half lengths in front of a field of 16, com- prising the 10 best horses of the year, the In- fante could not restrain his enthusiasm. He made a wild rush for the paddock to con- gratulate Juan and -Domingo Torterolo of Buenos Afres, respectively trainer and rider of the winner. “What made you bet on my mount, your oyal Highness?"” Domingo asked the Infan fe owes my father mone replied t heir to the Spanish throne. King Alfonso bet ten thousand franes on him to win the Grand Prix last June when you finished second. But it is all right. T won it all back.” WEDDING BELLS JINGLE Wedding bells jingling merrily and continu- ously since the beginniag of the month, and the unprecedented number of marriage no- tlces posted at the Mayories of the ultra smart wards of Paris show that although June may continue to be Known as the month of brides and roses, October has passed it in the number of actual marriages. Licenses issued In the aristocratic Light and Sixteenth wards were far in excess of the num- ber for the corresponding period last June. October brides are not married in flufty chiffon or georgette dresses, and the dress- makers have been doing a rushing business in woolen fabrics. Some Irench writers even charge that the dressmakers are responsible for the October marriage craze, so as to create a market for their heavier materials. Sports types and modern trotteur models have even been chosen by some brides for the city hall ceremony, but the long train, slim graceful fitting dress still rules for the church function. Velvet predeminates, ANTI-COLLAR LEAGUE That the starched collar is an Instrument af torture, a straight jacket' for the neck, and must disappear is ths first article in the by- laws of the Ahti-Collar League recently or- ganized In Paris. The founders are all writ- ers of some note, but the collarless fashion is making timid progress, At the first meeting of the league, Andre Antoine, a noted author and theatrical critic, was eleced president and an executive com- mittee formed. Press photographers in at- tendance asked the committes to pose for a pleture. When the picture appeared in the newspapers it was found that seven out of the eight on the committee were wearing all, stiff collars. The attention of the president was called to the fact. He declared: “This was not an oversight. It was done on purpose to show how miserable we were and how uncomfortable we looked and felt.” 1Gllda.

London, Oct. 23—DMiss Lilllan Wilkinson, labor member of parliament, likely will be known as “Miss Perky” for the rest of her political career. She was called that during a hot debate by Sir Frederick Hall, a conserv- ative, who tried to tease her. Miss Wilkinson ushed angrily and appealed to the chair. “Mr. Speaker,” she sald, “may I ask wh er T am to be insulted by the members sitting next to me? I claim your protection. The speaker admonished Sir Frederick but Miss Wilkinson had seen the funny side of the situation by this time and began laughi The name stuck. TOOK LONDON'S ADVICE Austin J. Small, better known as “Seamark’ has contributed several dramatic sketches at the Little Theater lately that received favor- able comment. Small ran away and went {o sea at 13.

TOO MANY SPEECHES Viscount Ullswater, former speaker of the 10use of commons, says he has heard enough specches to last a lifetime. Presenting prizes at a public hool at Kendal, he gaid “There is nothing I dislike so much as put ic speaking. I don't believe in public speeches. I have heard too many. Reckoning up not long ago the number I heard in the commons I came to the conclusion 0,000.

The number of licensed saloons has declined from 102,159 in 1900 to 0,420 in 1825. The 1925 figures represent 20.68 licenses per ten thousand of the population, RING WEARS WRISTWATCH In wearing a wrist watch for the first time in his life, King George has stimulated a cus- tom which was expected to dle out after the Prince of Wales deserted the wrist timepiece tor a platinum pocket watch and chain. The king is using a small square watch mounted in platinum which s held on his wrist in a small black strap. The Prince of Wales for some time has fav- -1 a thin platinum watch and thin platinum n which he wears both mornings and eve- nings, and his example has been followed by many young men about town.

Beauty parlors and millinery saloons run by members of the British aristocracy are no longer a novelty, but Baron Hamilton of Dal- zall, formerly lord-in-waiting to King George and to the late King Edward, has struck a new note. He has opened a milk and vegetable shop on his estate at Motherwell, Scotland. He fs 54 years old and was formerly a major in the famous Scots Guards, with which regiment he fought during the world war. | Q. Does the A.
