She Posed as a Man.
Mrs. l-.lward D. White, who posed as
a man at Fort Sheridan, and aided her
husband in making uniforms for the sol­
diery left the barracka. After the wo­
man's sex had Ireen discovered through I
an accident to her 3-year-old daughter
the woman was told to leave the fort,
and she departed yesterday morning.
Her husband wiH probably be discharged
before the end of the week. He and his
wife saved $800 during the four months
that she masqueraded as a man, anti
with this money the couple intend open­
ing a tailor shop in Chicago.
White i*an iNi^lishman by birth, 33
vears of age, and a veteran of the Span­
ish-American war. Three years ago he
met and married Mary Creusner, now 32
vears old, who had immigrated from
England, where she had been employed
at making military clothing in a London
“sweat shop.’’ White knew no trade,
and crippled as he was by a wound re­
ceived in Cuba, was unable to support
his wile.
Four months ago Mrs. White learned
that a tailor was needed at Fort Sheri­
dan, Company K. She decided to apply,
but found thatmilitary regulations pro­
hibited the presence of a woman in bar­
racks. Tlprn she had an inspiration.
Her husband should apply for the posi­
tion and she, attired in men's clothes,
would attendjiim as his assistant, while
in realjty (heir positions would be re-
vcflfcdj

the tailoring establishment of Company |
K. White introduced the woman to the I
soldiers as his brother. Patrons of the
shop saw her working industriously at
a sewing machine, dressed in a rough
blouse and trousers, and with her hair
clipped close to her head. They thought
of her as a bashful young fellow, rather
girlish in disposition, and commented at
times on the, freshness of her complexion
and the softness and smallness of her
han Is.
When the woman learned Saturday
morning that her child had been injured
while playing with a dog at the fort,
sheAViirS.no longer able to disguise the
relation she bòre to it. Rushing in tears
to the cot in the hospital where the child
lay, she clasped it in her arms, and soon
alter admitted she was its mother. Then
gathering up her belongings she left the
fort for Cl icago.
