Garntea for Which II Had a Sort of Supentttloue Werrnc. A4 the IS Veademlare Napoleon wae In such a state of poverty that hi clothe were all torn and he did not own a sword. He had to borrow on, and the day following his suo- cesa he had to get a quantity of cloth from the Stat to have a suitable unt orm made.

At Marengo he wore a uniform cov ered with gold embroidery a uni form to which he attached a queer sort of superstitious reverence.

He never parted with his old coat II brought It with him to St Hele- l. ;, and when he was dead, his com panlons put It over htm. When Na poleon became Consul he took great care of his toilet, but he affected sim plicity all the more, ns he wished bis Oenerala and suite to bo gorgeous in gold uU forms and plumed helmets.

At first the vr.t was low crowned with a wide border, but little by little It got htgh- or and higher until It became the bat every one knows.
