RANSVESTIA

purchased a castle near Bourges where under the name of Madame la Comtesse de Barres he lived for several years. He apparently enjoyed tak- ing young women into his home to train in the proper ways a "lady" should act. He got into some difficulty because of this (de Choisy retained his male urges) and felt it best to return to Paris. Here he lived briefly as Madame de Choisy until he inherited the title of Abbé de Saint Seine in Burgundy. In his new role he was only occasionally able to indulge in his hobby of cross dressing, but his memoirs record his great pleasure on the occasions when he could. Readers of Chevalier who can make their way through French will find his account fascinating. The part devoted to his cross dressing is only about 100 pages, and gives an insight into transves- tism that we rarely have had in the past.

Ed. Note: It is planned that chevalier will publish Dr. Bulloughs transla- tion of these memoirs later this year. It will probably be a $5.00 book judgeing by the length indicated above. If you wish to order a copy in advance it will help.
