London. . . Dec. 24. . . An effeminate maccaroni of
distinction a few evenings ago picked up a very smart girl,
and went home with her to her lodgings; after some time, the
lady proposed to dress herself in his cloaths, which were
very rich, and his sword, and that he should dress in hers.
He agreed to it, and she, when dressed, looked much more
like the man than he did, and he very like a woman. They
thus agreed to go to the play together, where having been a
short time, to avoid giving any suspicion to the company in
the same box, she went out under pretence of fetching him
some capillaire, and immediately decamped. The poor
maccaroni in peticoats, was then under the necessity of
marching home, and was some time in persuading the servants,
that he was their master, before they would admit him.
