FLYING CLOTHES.
Flying clothes are becoming less technical, and must weigh as little as possible. A pullover, jumper, scarf, two sets of underwear, aqd stockings might weigh altogether two and alialf ounces, and a sleeping bag, which most flying women consider a necessary item of equipment, weighs six pounds or so. The outfit which Miss Winifred Spooner chose from a London shop for her Captown flight was sufficiently warm for flying and was designed to do later for winter sports. It consisted of a cashmere pullover of saxe blue with a scarf to match, a silk and wool jumper, buttoning down the j front, oeshmere stockings and over- | socks, fine woollen underwear, a leather coat, a pair of men's slacks, and a camelhair sleeping bag.
