What n Lady of Great Prominence Has
TO Say About Her Sex.

to Say About Her Ser.
(Boston Globe.)
On recent trip by a representative OF this
paper to the city Of Haverhill, Mass, most
important incident occurred, which can not
fail to be OF the greatest interest to all, espe-
cially 10 oourlady readers. The newspaper man
met lady triile past middle age with lux
urlous white hair that contrasted strikingly
with piercing black eyes. She possessed q
straight, full habit, womanly, but command
ing, combined with manners wholly lady-like,
and yet pronounced. Any acute judge OF
human nature could see at once that he was
in the presence of an unusual persona gc-onc
destined to accomplish moro than most OF
her sex, and to exert an influence far reach
ing in its power. This lady. was Mrs. NJ. w
Wingate. Almost from childhood she has
taken special interest in the bodily troubles
of her sex and has probably been more sue
cessful IN relieving suffering and saving lives
than any other woman In America. Indeed,
she seems to have been to women what Flor
ence Nightengale and Dorothy Dix were to
the suffering soldiers. The instances of wo.
men who were In the greatest agony and ap-
parently beyond the reach of human aid, that
she has restored to health aud happiness, are
almost innumerable, and 1t was only natural
that the scribe should become specially in
terested and wish to converse with her more
in detail.
