Flower Sale Swells Fund
Younger Set Wears Chinese Costumes At Relief Wings Ball
Oriental colors blended effectively with red, white and blue at Friday night's big Relief Wings mercy ball, attended by many representative patrons, in Colonial Inn. Proceeds, to be used for relief of disaster victims in this country and CHina, were swelled by the sale of flowers, with attractive young socialites in the role of vendors, who wore embroidered Chinese costumes loaned by Ya-ching Lee, China's goodwill aviatrix, and, with Ruth Nichols, one of our outstanding women flyers, sponsor of the dance. Donations auctioned for the fund included pingpong balls used by Harry Richman when he made his transatlantic flight; air mail covers donated by Dick Merrill, carried on one of his first two mail flights to Europe; a Chinese statue brought from China by Mrs. William D. Pawley, and a brocaded Chinese coat that belonged to Miss Lee. Mrs. Merrill was among patrons.
