FAMOUS WOMEN IN
MASCULINE ATTIRE

a RUSSIAN lady of high social
N standing, Mime. Pousep, petit
- toned the car to be permit
ted to enlist regularly and
serve at the seat of war in a Cossack
regiment, to carry arms and in all re-
spects fight like a man. 1t is rather
odd that in a country where women are
oppressed more than in any other civ
ilized land the lady's request was
granted. and Mime. Pousep. in regula-
ton uniform, was enrolled to serve in a
rifle regiment. She is the daughter of
a Russian army colonel, a ma gnificent
rider and a crack shot with both rifle
and revolver. She is also noted for skill
in sword practice and has frequently
taken part in cavalry maneuvers- The
late Car Alexander III. was very fond
of her when she was a little girl, and
with his approval she learned to shoot
and fence and became familiar with
cavalry drill. Nine Pousep says she
wants to show that a woman can fight,
and Nicholas II has given her oppor-
tunity.
