WHY SHE DRESSED LIKE A MAN.
My tbin boots wore out in a few days. I forgot to hold up my dress and covered my petticoats with mud. My bonnets were spoiled one after another by the rain. I generally returned from the expeditions I took, dirty, weary and cold, whereas my acquaintances, some of whom had been the companions of my childhood in Berri, had none of these inconveniences to submit to. I therefore had a long grey cloth coat made with a waistcoat and trowiers to match. When this costume was completed by a gray felt hat and a loose woollen cravat, no ene could have guessed that I wan not a young student in my first year. My boots were my particular delight. I should like"to have gone to bed with them. On their little iron heels I wandered from one end of Paris to the other. No one took any notice of me or suspected my disguise.
