Thel Manchester It rlcklaypr Who Mistrust -
'trusted Ills '•Wife'—A Mysterious Cabe of
Modern Thhes— Names Withheld by the
Relator—A Prominent Professional AfauY
In the month of April, 1838, Mr.
Thomas, an attorney of Manchestor,
ryas seated alone in his office, when a
client was shown in. She came, she
said, to obtain a divorce front her hus-
band, who was a master bricklayer, do-
ing an excellent business. She com-
plained that he drank heavily and
when under the influence of liquor
would beat her severely. This ill treat-
ment she bore patiently until he finally
refused to give her money for house-
keeping expenses, whereupon she sought
a separation.
When more closely questioned, the
woman unfolded to the ears of the as-
tonished lawyer the following remark-
able story:
The master bricklayer had at birth
been relegated to the feminine portion
of humanity, but being early disgusted
with the restricted life of girlhood he
donned masculine attire an -
a
kk . .
ticed liimpelf to a bricklayer. (The'renper
sonal pronouns are apt to get a little
mixed in Such descriptions, so I, will
adhere to the masculine.) He showed
an unusual knack in his chosen trade
and soon became his own master He
was a handsome young fellow, and
many maidens fell in love with the
dashing young mechanic, and he finally
chose and married the woman who be-
came Mr. Thomas' client.
Upon investigation this astonishing
scary was found to be strictly true. The
bricklayer had acted as special consta-
ble for Manchester and had occupied
other essentially masculine positions in
the community, always being on band
when riots or any other danger threat-
ened. The true sex of this esteemed
citizen had never been suspected during
the 25 years he had worn tiro disguille
until domestic differences caused his
partner to reveal the secret.
There is a well authenticated instance
on record of a girl who adopted mascu-
line apparel when she was 3 years of
age, or rather, to be more accurate, her
father dressed her as a boy that she
might the better dance at public houses.
She continued in this disguise for 40
years without being discovered.
To come down to modern times, the
writer, though unable to mention names
i and localities, as one of the parties con-
cerned is still living, knows of a strik-
ing examplepertinent the subject.
But five short years have been told
since the final scene in this drama of
real life was enacted. But to begin at
the.beginning:
There were two sisters, educated and
refined ladies, left orphaned and well
nigh penniless. Both of them were
beauties, one tall, dark and courageous,
the other blond, small and gentle. The
elder girl made up her mind to adopt a
bold course. She took the little money
they possessed and rented and stocked a
little store in a distant city, where they
Were unknown; then, taking her sister,
they stole quietly away.
In their new home they represented
themselves as man and wife, diel well
in business and were universally re-
spected.
Years passed. The gentleman (?)
saved money, took up a pursuit more
congenial to his tastes and became one
of the most prominent men (?) in the
city. The couple bought a beautiful
home on Blank avenue, entertained and
were entertain(,) by the best society in
the place. Ever; body said: "What a
handsome couple, she so delicately
beautiful with her golden hair, he so
stately and dark, "
One afternoon, when the lady was
"at home" to her friends and was sur-
rounded by a laughing, chattering
group, she saw, approaching across the
room, with his eyes fixed upon her face,
one of the beat known physicians of the
city. The man's face was so grave that
it startled her, and her heart began to
beat heavily with a foreboding of evil
to come.
The doctor came up hastily, and
without the usual formal greeting spoke
to her in a low, excited voice:
"Mr. —•— fell dead of heart disease
in his office about an hour ago. Only
one of the clerks attended him, when I
was called in. If you wish to preserve
the secret, you had better come at once. "
The doctor as not one who believed
w w elleved
in breaking bad news gradually, but it
g 8 y,
were better he had adopted less abrupt
measures in that instance, for the poor
little lady was entirely overcome, and
shrieking out, "What shall I do?" she
fell at
His feet in a faint.
Well, the story was blushed up and
came to the ears of only: a few people,
but it is a true story just the same.
Such instances abound. There is to-
day in one of the great cities of these
United States a prominent professional
man who is a disguised woman. He is
a well to do bachelor and is considered
a very desirable parti by matchmaking
mammas and marriageable daughters.
To attempt to enumerate the cases o
women who have temporarily assume
masculine �sguiso would be a hopeless
task. Even uch instances as are on rec-
ord, doubtless representing a very small
percentage of the real occurrences i
this line, would fill volumes.
This unnatural feminine attitude to-
ward life, arising from many causes, i
a matter of psychological interest.
We hear a great deal lately about the
"abnormal woman," but the term "ab-
normal" is relative and should be ap-
plied with much discretion,.or it will
become meaniilgleser
It would. perhaps be b attily accurate
to use the word to, describe even th
class of women reprQsented in this'pa-
per, but they may be truly said to have
led most abnormal lives and may in
consequence be of much Interest to th
student of the "weaker sex"

Thel Manchester It rlcklaypr Who Mistrust -
'trusted Ills '•Wife'—A Mysterious Cabe of
Modern Thhes— Names Withheld by the
Relator—A Prominent Professional AfauY
In the month of April, 1838, Mr.
Thomas, an attorney of Manchestor,
ryas seated alone in his office, when a
client was shown in. She came, she
said, to obtain a divorce front her hus-
band, who was a master bricklayer, do-
ing an excellent business. She com-
plained that he drank heavily and
when under the influence of liquor
would beat her severely. This ill treat-
ment she bore patiently until he finally
refused to give her money for house-
keeping expenses, whereupon she sought
a separation.
When more closely questioned, the
woman unfolded to the ears of the as-
tonished lawyer the following remark-
able story:
The master bricklayer had at birth
been relegated to the feminine portion
of humanity, but being early disgusted
with the restricted life of girlhood he
donned masculine attire an -
a
kk . .
ticed liimpelf to a bricklayer. (The'renper
sonal pronouns are apt to get a little
mixed in Such descriptions, so I, will
adhere to the masculine.) He showed
an unusual knack in his chosen trade
and soon became his own master He
was a handsome young fellow, and
many maidens fell in love with the
dashing young mechanic, and he finally
chose and married the woman who be-
came Mr. Thomas' client.
Upon investigation this astonishing
scary was found to be strictly true. The
bricklayer had acted as special consta-
ble for Manchester and had occupied
other essentially masculine positions in
the community, always being on band
when riots or any other danger threat-
ened. The true sex of this esteemed
citizen had never been suspected during
the 25 years he had worn tiro disguille
until domestic differences caused his
partner to reveal the secret.
There is a well authenticated instance
on record of a girl who adopted mascu-
line apparel when she was 3 years of
age, or rather, to be more accurate, her
father dressed her as a boy that she
might the better dance at public houses.
She continued in this disguise for 40
years without being discovered.
To come down to modern times, the
writer, though unable to mention names
i and localities, as one of the parties con-
cerned is still living, knows of a strik-
ing examplepertinent the subject.
But five short years have been told
since the final scene in this drama of
real life was enacted. But to begin at
the.beginning:
There were two sisters, educated and
refined ladies, left orphaned and well
nigh penniless. Both of them were
beauties, one tall, dark and courageous,
the other blond, small and gentle. The
elder girl made up her mind to adopt a
bold course. She took the little money
they possessed and rented and stocked a
little store in a distant city, where they
Were unknown; then, taking her sister,
they stole quietly away.
In their new home they represented
themselves as man and wife, diel well
in business and were universally re-
spected.
Years passed. The gentleman (?)
saved money, took up a pursuit more
congenial to his tastes and became one
of the most prominent men (?) in the
city. The couple bought a beautiful
home on Blank avenue, entertained and
were entertain(,) by the best society in
the place. Ever; body said: "What a
handsome couple, she so delicately
beautiful with her golden hair, he so
stately and dark, "
One afternoon, when the lady was
"at home" to her friends and was sur-
rounded by a laughing, chattering
group, she saw, approaching across the
room, with his eyes fixed upon her face,
one of the beat known physicians of the
city. The man's face was so grave that
it startled her, and her heart began to
beat heavily with a foreboding of evil
to come.
The doctor came up hastily, and
without the usual formal greeting spoke
to her in a low, excited voice:
"Mr. —•— fell dead of heart disease
in his office about an hour ago. Only
one of the clerks attended him, when I
was called in. If you wish to preserve
the secret, you had better come at once. "
The doctor as not one who believed
w w elleved
in breaking bad news gradually, but it
g 8 y,
were better he had adopted less abrupt
measures in that instance, for the poor
little lady was entirely overcome, and
shrieking out, "What shall I do?" she
fell at
His feet in a faint.
Well, the story was blushed up and
came to the ears of only: a few people,
but it is a true story just the same.
Such instances abound. There is to-
day in one of the great cities of these
United States a prominent professional
man who is a disguised woman. He is
a well to do bachelor and is considered
a very desirable parti by matchmaking
mammas and marriageable daughters.
To attempt to enumerate the cases o
women who have temporarily assume
masculine �sguiso would be a hopeless
task. Even uch instances as are on rec-
ord, doubtless representing a very small
percentage of the real occurrences i
this line, would fill volumes.
This unnatural feminine attitude to-
ward life, arising from many causes, i
a matter of psychological interest.
We hear a great deal lately about the
"abnormal woman," but the term "ab-
normal" is relative and should be ap-
plied with much discretion,.or it will
become meaniilgleser
It would. perhaps be b attily accurate
to use the word to, describe even th
class of women reprQsented in this'pa-
per, but they may be truly said to have
led most abnormal lives and may in
consequence be of much Interest to th
student of the "weaker sex"
