PERMITS TO WOMEN TO WEAR
MEMS CLOTHES.

Il know nothing in law to prevent
a woman dressing as man." said the
| Westminster magistrate in discharg
/ ing the little old woman in trousers
at Westminster on Wednesday, but
they manage these things differently
In France (writes a correspondent,
where the question Of dress for men
and women comes under government
control. Here, in exceptional cases,
a woman may habitually wear mems
clothes-and vice yersa--but this can
only be done in safety by fling a pc
obtaining the necessary authorization.
Rosa Bonheur received one of these
rare permits, for her studies of cattle
and horses threw her much among
class of men who showed little re.
spect for her sex either in their con-
versation or demeanor toward her
while she was sketching. In some
places, indeed, the poor ignorant
peasants fearful lest her art should
work some evil influence on their

mistrust, on one occasion even de-
nouncing her as a witch. So she took
to mans attire, and her short hair
and masculine cast of countenance
completed the disguise to perfection
After all, Marietta Robusti, Tintor
ettos daughter-herself an excellent
palnter-had done the same hundreds
of years before.
Another French lady who has OBJ
tanned the government permit to wear
mems clothes Is Madame Dieulafoy,
the distinguished wife of Prof. Dieu.
lafoy, whose archaeological researches
with her husband have taken her TO
Persia, Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, and
many other distant parts of the
globe. Madame Dieulafoy found that
feminine skirts were a disheartening
handicap in archaeological explora-
tions, making the work doubly ia
tiguing, and constantly coming to
grief. At length she could bear the |
slavery of dress no longer. so she cut |
her hair short and donned a suit OF |
her husbands clothes, and she has /
dressed as man ever since.-London |
