,a middle age with luxurious white hair that

u eyes. She possessed a straight, full habit,
Is womanly but commanding, combined with

of an unusual personage-one destined to

power This lady was Mrs. M. W. Winpate
. Almost from childhood she has taken
special interest in the bodily troubles of her
sex and has probably been more successful
l in relieving suffering and saving lives than
any other woman in America. Indeed. she
seems to have been TO women what Florence
Nightingale and Dorothy Dix were to the
suffering soldiers. The l. ances of women
who were in the greatest agony and appar-
emily beyond the reach of human aid that
she has restored to heath and happiness,
are almost innumereble and it was only
natural that the scribe should become
spec ally interested and wish to converse with
her more in detail.
