ADVANCE OF WOMEN
EXPLOITS IN THE AIR [from our own correspondent] LONDON, Augruet 81 Mrs. J. A. Mollison, now a daily cross-Channel pilot of a commercial machine, occasioned much surprise on her first arrival at Le Bourget, because she from the aeroplane as if sh© were walking out of a drawing room. Twenty photographers who had expected to snap her dressed in full pilot's kit were astonished to see her alight hatless and coatless. They almost mistook her for a passenger. Shortly before Mrs. Mollison landed there her French counterpart, Mile. Marvae Hilsz, took off from the aerodrome in a military aeroplane which is, on exhibition at the Copenhagen Salon. Frenchmen to-day are full or the emancipation of women. One of the comments made is An English woman as a regular pilot; a French woman flying a military aeroplane! What would our grandmothers say.
