THE LAST DAVI or ♦ BrattY.—Of the early
part of George the Third's reign there were not two
beauties who painted, patched, and powdered more, or who
Deeded it lees, than /Ira Hobert and Lady Coventry ; the
former, all in game and spangles, " like a spangled pud-
ding," as a due gentleman remarked ; the latter, in a light
blue dress, covered with round spot' of silver, which made
bee look, according to George Selwyn. like " &sage
for a guinea." Poor Lady Coventry ! As keg as
paint could deceive her, she was slow to believe is con-
sumption; bat when the tswrible truth forced Ralf
upon her, she lay, all unpainted sad anpowlered, gazing
into a pocket-glass till she could bear no longer to contem-
plate the brWriornp of the wreck of herself. Nor would
she offer that melancholy spectacle to the sympathy or
indifference of others. She pined from coach and pocket-
mirror to bed sod closed curtains ; and with no other light
than that of a spirit-lamp beneath a kettle in her room,
she received visitors and the ministrations of her servants,
never doing more than remain bee small hand between the
curtains which hid for ever the living pale face of the ono*
I supreme beauty.—Corraill Magazine for June.
