No Picnic

It is sometimes suggested that pleasure flying is a better sport for women than for men, since women have more time to learn and to stay in practice. Especially to daughters of rich men might this apply. One such, Margery Durant, daughter of Motor Tycoon William Crapo Durant, had time this summer to tour Europe for three months. She did it all dressed up in white in her black-&-white Lockheed-Vega Ariel, accompanied by a French pilot.

Tourist Durant last week returned from her trip, announced she had flown 12,000 miles over 19 countries at a cost of 7-c- a mile. "All I can say," said she, "is that flying over North Africa, Western Asia, and the Balkans is no Sunday School picnic."
