Many and various are the tales told
of this first meeting. The peasant wom-

Rosa Bonheur. According to one en-

According to another tale, Anna
Klumplze, fresh from the West, where
girls are not ticketed with convention

and with the courage born of inexperi-
ence determined, as she expressed it to
her fellow students, to see Rosa Bon

and returned from there alive. There
upon the students threw up their hats
and shouted. They knew that Anna had
succeeded. She described with ardor the
little gray-coated figure glistening with
orders and medals, from the brilliant
decoration of San Carlos to the Royal
Order of Isabella the Catholic.
Whatever the manner of her advent
at the chateau, it is certain that she was
accorded a welcome that warmed her

woman who at the first glance gave the
impression of a man, little, elderly, pale,
with silvery hair and strong features.

of sincere opinions.

to come to Paris, but yielded finally to a

young girl relinQuish her post.
During these years she painted her
