MRS. LYNN STAYING DOWN.

LIABLE TO "HIT THE ROOF."

(By SINBAD.)

I have to" weep for Mrs. Lynn, that English aviating dame, "who is compelled to turn it in, retiring from the field in shame. "No woman now can fly," says she, "in regions where they once have flown; tbe air is man's domain, you see; the boys won't leave the girls alone. I once was 'nifty , with a plane, an aviatrix bold and wise, exploring, time and time again, the utmost reaches of the skies. In fact, I had a growing trade, but then the men grew peeved. I fear, that I should dare thus to invade what they considered was their sphere. And so it came to pass that I, on hopping off for scenes afar, would hear from pilots standing by the scornful and the loud 'Ha! Ha!' I've had to leave this flying flat; the strain was more than I could bear. So, can you wonder after that that I got up* into the air?" Myself, I do not blame the men, for Mrs. Lynn has given proof that she should never fly again—she's liable to "hit the roof."
