A Link With Rousseau.

A well-known writer in Paris. Nj.
Remezy, can, If he chooses, step into
Jean Jacques Rousseau's shoes-shoes,
moreover, that the great genius made
himself. The Paris correspondent of
the London Evening Standard tells
their interesting story:
In the little village of Ermenonville,
where Rousseau is buried, there was
an inn where he often went. Giard,
the innkeeper, was an intimate friend
Of Rousseau, and he kept on the top
Of cupboard pair Of wooden shoes
that Rousseau had made. Jean
Jacques, after wearing them himself,
had given them to the innkeeper.
In the early days of the nineteenth
century the poet Fabre d'Eglantine
visited the little inn, saw the shoes
with paper label on them. and Of
fered to buy one for f200 or to give
f5OO for the pair. The offer was re-
fused.
When the innkeeper died he left the
sabots to his granddaughter, and she
at her death left them TO her nephew,
NJ. Paul Bleuze, who sold them or gave
them to M. Remezy.
