A little girl Of 10 years. attired in boys
clothes, attracted considerable attention
at the Burlington station. She was
with her mother, Mrs. G.. w. Lehr Oh
Colorado Springs, and a s-year-ola
brother, Sidney Lehr. Her name was
Alice.
1t was easy to tell at a glance that she
was a girl, although her hair was cut
rather short and she was dressed exactly
like her brother. In brown pants and tan
shoes and stockings, Her girlish looks
and manners betrayed her.
When Mrs. Lehr was asked why the girl
wore boys clothes she said:
f., dAlice~has always wanted to be a boy
like her brother Sidney. She has begged
US TO put her in boys clothes for over q
year, and so when summer came this year
we decided to let her have her way, We
bought her an outfit just like her broth
er,s and she, has been happy ever since.
She has been wearing pants for two
months now and has never wanted to
