HER ADOPTION OF MASCULINE CLOTHES.
Rosa Bonheur's preference for masculine dress
when engaged at her work has been the subject
OF much comment, though the artist herself
never could see why it should attract such uni
ver-sal attention. She was wholly unaffected in
IT'S adoption having done so as a protection
when as a young girl she wished 10 study ami
mails in the saughter-houses OF Paris. Finding
Il far more convenient than skirts. she con-
tinued to wear it at home throughout her life
but she never appeared in this guise in the
public streets
The following amusing description Of her
appearance and manner given by a news
paper writer who paid her a visit some years
ago and sought to obtain what the artist most
Or, AIDED and avoided-an interview:
"A funny-looking man came toward me knit
tins his brows. He wore an enormous straw
hat Under it was a soft, beardess face
Drowned by the sun and lighted by chestnut
colored eyes; a small nose exaggerated the size
OF the large mouth. with rows Of superb teeth
and there was a breezy flow Of long hair
Who are you? Where do you come from
and what do you want? he said sharply stop
ping and thrusting his small hands IN the peck
els OF gray, ribbed trousers.
This sharp questioning disconnected me for
a moment, but, recovering, answered, I am
a journalist. and wish TO see Miss Bonheur'
well look at her. said the little peasant,
taking off his great hat. You must excuse me;
I am obliged TO keep intruders away.
Il is interesting TO note that Mile Bonheur
had no patience when she was at the head OF an
at school with attempts on the part OF her girl
students to initiate her peculiariues or dress
With her these oddities had come about natu-
rally and for sufficient reasons; with them II

light THROWN ON THE PERSONALITY
AND ECCENTR1CITIES OF THE
FRENCH ARTIST.
SHE DIsLIKED PAINTING TO ORDER

she DlSLlhED fAlNllNO ~ NlAhi>A~
Although she was prevailed upon to do so oc-
casionally Rosa Bonheur always disliked paint
Ing picture Of any kind to order, She was
throughout her whole career intensely jealous
OF her artistic independence ard resented crit
icisms or suggestions from persons who had no
eel ecial knowledge OF art In the comparative
" rare instances when she took commissions
for pictures il was understood that she was TO
have full liberty TO carry out her own ideas II
there were any attempt to infringe upon this lib
erty she would at once drop the picture, no mat
ter how high might be the position Of the per
son who had ordered il.
An incident illustrating this occurred in 1s36
when Baron de Rothschild Of Paris, desired to
have characteristic animal painting from
Mile Bonheur's brush. The artist, then thirty
four years old and at the height Of her power
and fame (she had painted the Horse Fair IN
1853. agreed to paint a picture for the great
fnancier. and soon had it sketched roughly in
upon the canvas. Baron de Rothschild
anxious to see the first sketch. and Mile. Bon
hcur gave him permission TO visit her studio
There ne found that the painting was sheep
sclne-and one. moreover. which even in It's IN
ffished state the artist considered the best OF
tie kind she had yet produced. But the Baron
was dissatisfied He would have preferred oxen,
said ana lndQe various oIIiti SNeoN'N'N'--
which would have required an entirely new COM
position ana which did not at all appeal to
Rosa Bonheur's IDEAS OF art. Not only did she
promptly refuse TO make any changes in the
sketch then on the easel but also firmly de-
clined to prepare any other sketch for the Baron
or 20 execute any commission from him.
TWO AMERICAN FRIENDS OF THE ARTIST.
The late August Belmont. OF this city, was
r-aat adnirer Of Mile Bonheurs work, and Tor
him she PAINTED two weu-known canvases-the
Meeting Of the Hunt and Crossing the Ford.
No such trouble as that with Baron de Roths-
child occurred in this case, and the artist and
Mr. Belmont were always on the most frlehdl!
terms knowing her fondness for animals OF
ell kinds Of which she kept regular menagere
on her estate at FontaineDleau MI. belmont
presented 10 the artist a fine elk, which re-
NAMED in her possession for a long time.
A few years ago Mile. BOnheur wanted TO
paint picture Of the wild little American pony
NJ The plains. OF which she had often heard. She
owned Breton. Arab. Norman and Percheron
horses but had no animal in her stables TO
serve as a model for this new picture. Buffalo
Bill" hearing Of the artists desire, gave her Two
typical broncos, and. using them as studies she
produced an admirable picture, pronounced by
critics at the time TO be equal TO the best or her
previous work Not long afterward. in recog-
milton Of Colonel Cody's kindness Mile Bonheur
painted and gave to him a portrait OF nlIIseh
