TO TEST SOCIAL MORALITY.

' v (Received 11.30 a.m.) ' ,*i : LONDON, September 18.

The mystery of a six-foot woman wtndtijqg through country lanes of South during the past twelve months dressed in white shoes and stockhip, a black skirt and a red hat and Veily often frightening women and children, was dramatically solved late at night when the person was seized and unmasked at Curry Rivell, Somerset, by * loeal innkeeper. Thfe'lnaaauerader turned out to be the Rev. A. H. Read, a Congregational minister, who refused to comment till this morning, when he summoned a large meeting of townspeople and explained that Tje desired, to test social morality and the attitude of men towards women. He did not consider he had done any' harm. On the contrary, he found the men of England wonderfully chivalrous. He would raise his hat to the 'EnglishJ n *"> apologise to everyone, and hoped to be forgiven for this "spasm of folly."
