tions of the metropolis whioh are often
nnder discussion ?
This onso-ls an abnormal, one, for not
one person in ten thousand conld act
finch a part without being detected.
[What conld have iudnoed this woman
to'take Bach a fonrse? ' What is there in
thlelile of New York that makes women
wuh to be men ? Perhaps it was a dare
devil spirit whioh started her on that
career, and once having embarked in it.,
she found it awkward to retrace her
steps.
Her feelings must have been much
like a person living in two worlds—tile
world of humanity is divided into two
parts, one masculine and the other
feminine.
Host women, having had a glimpse of
the masculine world, would wish to re
tire from it as qniokly as possible, bnt
this one had an abnormal disposition.
The causes whioh produce the inoreas
ing instanoes of manishness among
women might make an interesting
study.
In the meantime Providence continues
to furnish the world with male and
female inhabitants in abont eq lal nnm.
bers, and when by reason of war the
ranks of the males are thinned, nature
by a mysterious method which nobody
understands, slowly restores the equili
brium of the sexes.
This case and others like the pettiooat
war in Kansas are enough to make the
country thoughtful. Things so abnor
mal indicate an unhealthy sentiment
among certain olaaies of the female pop
ulation. It is tote hoped that the sen
timents whioh lead to inch freaks will
not beooiae more prevalent.'t
