Says New York Society Girl,
Dropping In at Airport
If Fort Worth wants to stay in
the height of fashion, it had better
get busy on plans for an aviation,
country club.
There’ll be 25 such clubs in the
U. 8. by Sept. .1, says Miss Ruth
R. Nichols, Rye, N. Y., society girl.
Miss Nichols— the answer to
what the well-dressed woman will
wear in the air-—dropped in at
Meacham Field in her Curtiss
Fledgling plane late Thursday to
tell anybody interested how to
start an aero club.
She was a chic figure in her
green leather flying coat and ex-
pensive helmet to match.
Miss Nichols and her party are
representing the Aviation Coun-
try Cluby, Inc., of New Work City.
They expect to cover 12 000
miles before returning to New
York. El Paso will be the next
stop.
“The aviation country club op- >
erates just like any other country
club, except that it calls for a
landing field for planes Instead of
k golf course," says Miss Nichols.
