"boned" necks and introduced the "Peter Pan" and "Quaker" collar; invented "The Merry Widow" hat; started mannequin parades; let the world know that women had "legs": gave names to her creations.
CREATED A FURORE
The daughter of an English engineer named Sutherland and B Canadian ranch
owner's daughter, she began her dress- making career making dolla' clothes when she lived with her grandparents in Canada. Not only did she design dresses for! her own dolls; but she established n "clientelo" among her friends, dressing their dolls in return for pieces of silk on velvet.
With her sister, Mrs. Elinor Glyn, she created a furore when she "came but" in the 'eighties in London. When she was 17 she was engaged three times in one year. At 18 she married Mr. James Stuart Wallace.
Five years later she had divorc- ed her husband and was anxious to earn more money to maintain herself and her little daughter. As she was making a frock for little Esme-now Lady Halsbury she had the Iden, "Why not design clothes for her friends?"

PARACHUTISTS'
UNION..
WON'T JUMP FOR SMALL MONEY
North Bergen, May. 15. Organised parachute jumpers of America have served notice on the National Air Race management that they won't defy death and gravity for a cent under £4-8- Jum
"It isn't fair to hak a man to risk his life for less than that," asserted the parachute jumpers' spokesman, Mr. William J. Picune. Mr. Picune, a handsome, dark- haired young man of 19, estimates he has fallen a quarter of a million fect since he took up parachute jumping at 16 "because it was the most thrilling branch of aviation."
Like others among the 70 mem- bers the National Parachute Jumpers' Association, Picune has hurtled through space for as little as $1, but he says the jumpers are determined now that their daring shall be more adequately reward- ed.

Mr. Picunc has madé 89 jumps since he stepped out for his first plunge after 24 hours' instruction three years ago and his only injury was a broken thumb received when he jumped from a fast-moving tri- motor machine at Nashville and his hand hit the tail surface.
