'FLYING BOUDOIR' WAS
IN AIR 196 HOURS 10
ESTABLISH NEW MARK
NEW YORK, Aug., 23, — The
“Flying Boudoir,” of Mrs. Louis
Thaden and Mrs. Frances Marsa
lis, up in the air for more than a
week, came down to earth on Cur
tis Field. Monday evening, at 6:06
o'clock.
The two women had previously
announced they intended to re
main in the air as long as their mo
tor and plane functioned all right
but their decision to alight was
prompted by an invitation to at
tend the Cleveland air derby. Inas
much as they could not fly directly
to Cleveland to have their record
officially recognized, they were
compelled to land on the same field
from which they started. They
dropped a note a half-hour before
they landed saying they were com
ing down.
They chalked up a new endur
ance mark of 196 hours and six
minutes. The previous record was
122 hours and was held by Bobby
Trout and another Western wom
an The “Flying Boudoir” team
bested the old record by 73 hours.
When the two women emerged
from their plane, it was noticed
that their noses were carefully pow
dered. their lips rouged and their
hair carefully combed. They said
this was all they had to do while
floating thousands of feet above
the earth.
Their first request was for a bath
tub. They said they had only had I
a chance to sponge off occassional
ly. Mrs. Thaden. however, collapsed !
before she could take her bath and
and so was put to bed.
The two new conquerors of the
skies spent the night catching up ■
on sleep and rest. It was revealed
today that Casey Jones, the flight
manager, had ordered the two wo
men to come down as the test was
too strenuous for them, they being
unable to get any rest in the lar
row confines of the cabin. Mrs.
Marsalis was in the best condition.
Mrs. Marsalis asked for a cigar
ette immediately upon entering an
automobile, but Mrs. Thaden was
unable to withstand the strain and
fainted on the running board.
Ruth Nichols, former champion
aviatrix, was the first to congrat
ulate the new champions
