DRJWALKER’S PANTS.
SHE TELLS OF HER THIRTY YEARS
EXPERIENCE'WITH TROUSERS.
Ens Had a Funny Time—Girls Take Her
foraMan and Try to Flirt with Her—
Often Insulted by People Who Den'l
Know Any Better.
‘A correspondent of the Chicago In-
Itier-Ocean writes:
I was talking the other day with Dr.
Mary Walker, the only woman in the
United States who wears trousers and
doesn’t wish she were a. man. That is
her boast, and she has made an inter-
national reputation by puruvsing her
fad. There is really nothing mannish
about Dr. Mary except her clothes, and
in wearing them she is bound to have
her own way, which is distinctly a
feminine tr'ait. She is a diminutive
creature, with the thinnest of treble
voice, sharp features, abbreviated hair
just turning gray, and spectacles. Her
ordinary dress is a plain black suit of
broadcloth, with frock coat and a silk
hat. For street wear ' in the winter
she has a heavy brown overcoat with
velvet collar and a cape, and at all
time-s she carries a stout cane with a
silver head fully as large as her fist.
If she wore skirts she would look very
like a. little old maid. As it is, with her
erect carriage, trim figure, and
sprightly walk, she seems like a boy
dressed a. little beyond his years
She has been wearing trousers for
thirty years and longer. Nobody knows
exactly how long-for this a point on
which the doctor resolutely closes her
mouth. She can never be induced to
reveal the time or place when she for—
sook the garb of womanhood and
adopted masculine atttire. “Iqu were
to tell you that you would guéss how
old I am.” is "herfeminine formula for
rebufiing t‘he inquisitive. She will only
say that the change came about by de-
grees. She admits, too, that she
was wearing trousers for some years
before she went into the army as a
nurse at 'the beginning of the civil
war. The only reason she gives for
adopting the garb is the convenience
of trousers over the cumbersome skirts
which were in vogue when she was a
girl. '
“This is a. free country," she said,
“and as I was not responsible for be-
ing a woman, I failed to see the rea-
son why I should be compelled to en-
dure the discomforts of skirts for a
lifetime simply because I didn’t hap-
pen to ibe born a. man.”
When Dr. Mary was in the army sihe
was an acting assistant surgeon, with
the rank of first lieutenant, and she
dressed the same as the other officers.
She wore trousers at that time with a
”stripe of gold lace down the side of
the leg, a felt hat with gold cord, and
an Ofl‘loe-r’s overcoat. Her coat was not
like that which she has. since adopted,
but was shaped like a. blouse cut loose-
ly about the neck.
“When I :had on my overcoat,
, though,” she said, proudly, “I looked
every inch the man, and I am sure I ,
acted it, for I was the only woman
holding a com-mission in the army of
, the United States, and I am the only
woman who has been granted a. medal
by Congress for active military. duty.”
’As she said this the little doc-tor
pointed :to the bronze medall fastened
with a big black-headed pin and a. red,
white and blue ribbon to the laipel of
her coat. On the back of the medal
was engraved 'the legend: “Presented
by t'hegCongiress of the United States
to Mary E. Walker, A. A. Surgeon, U.
S. Army.”
"Do I ever have unkind things said
to me?” she said, echoing back my
question. “Yes, of course—by ill-bred
people. I always consider the source
from which they come, and attribute
them 'to ignorance or viciousness, but
there are very few experiences of this
kind, and when anybody does say any-
thing unpleasant I usually have some—
thing to say in return which makes
us quits. You would be surprised to
'find how little trouble I really have,
and then think what a relief it is
when one arrives in a. strange city to
be able to pick up one’s grip and walk
up the street, wilflh-out bothering any-
body and without having some soft-
spoken fellow come up with a smirk
and ‘Is ‘there anything I can do for
you, miss?’ Oh I tell you, trousers
are a great “thing!
“I have been taken for a Catholic
priest a good many times,” said Dr.
Mary. “More than once people have
sworn to me that I was Father So-and-
So, and they wouldn’t listen to a. de-
Once at the White House a man
hailed me as Brother Brown of his
church in Atlanta, and when I told
him he was mistaken I couldn’t get
him to believe me. Sometimes the mis—
takes have been very funny. Young
girls have tried to flirt with me, and I
have been simply shocked by the braz-
en effrontery of some women whom I
have met while traveling. One of them
actually asked me how often I shave-d.
She thought I was a boy, and wouldn’t
take my word to the contrary. Some
women delight in asking me why I
don’t dress like them. I always tell
them I buy my own clothes and I real-
ly don’t see why I can’t have them cut
as I like without having people ask
me questions about them. I tell such
women that if they will send me their
gowns I will wear them. I take very
good care not to say how I will wear
them, and as they have never sent me .
any I am saved the troubleo-f explain-
ing. One lady promise-d to send me a
skirt and asked me if I would wear it
as she wore hers. I told her I would
put it on over my trousers and then
hold lit up as she did so as. not to in-
She was
angry and left me. I suppose she gave
me up as a hopeless case.”
He—I’m saddest when I sing.
She—Well, how do you suppose I
feel?—Judge. '

Bodices are so covered with decora-
tions of various sorts that the original
material is visible only in spots. Pret—
ty silk blouses are decorated. all over
with applications of black or cream
lace, trellis designs of ribbon or ruchcs
of chiffon, and the very smartest bodi-
ces of all are those which are finely
tucked. Yokes extending out over the
sleeves epaulet fashion, but in realty
forming the top of the sleeves and
made of plaited frills of narrow rib-
bon, are one of the latest fancies. The
frills encircle the shoulders and plaid
and plain ribbon are both employed, as
are frills of narrow lace sewn on a
narrow insertion, and put around the
yoke in the same way. Yokes of some
fOrm and device are an almost univer-
sal feature of dress. Certainly the
gown without ‘a yoke is the exception,
and revers are almost if not quite as
popular. They are cut {in every con—
ceivable shape, turning back from a.
vest either above or below the bust.
A feature of the fashionable dress is
the black satin or silk coat to wear
with any kind of skirt. It may beta.
plain, sailor-made affair with plain or
fancy rovers, or a dressy little gar-
ment covered with corded tucks set in
at intervals and sometimes cut bolero
fashion in the back, with round or
square tabs in the front.
Handsomely embroidered linen lawn
is used for vests and yoxes, and plain
'white batiste is employed for vests in
waists of dotted batiste. A vest of
deep tucks fastened with two or thre:

tumuoise buttons is very pretty. Ba-
tistes with embroidered dots and fine
lawns in plain tints of figured patterns
make lovely waists for warm weather.
