Woman Vowed to Wear Trousers.

Mrs. Kreiger has lived on a ranch on the San*Pablo, Cai., road for over fifteen years, and during tnat time she has not worn the ordinary apparel of woman. So accustomed have the people of that vicinity become to her and her strange dress that they no longer notice it. Up to fifteen years ago Mr. Kreiger wore skirts and dresses like any other of her sex. Indeed, it appears that she had more of them, and tffat they were of more varied forms, textures and colors than are usually possessed by farmers’ wives. It was shortly before the change in her manner of dressing that she married William Kreiger,a thrifty German farmer and a widower, and went to live on the ranch. For a time they got along well, but whpn he charged her with extravagance in dress, she hung up her pretty gowns and deuued male attire.
