not so tight as TO give the CLASSY appearance
OF polished marble, which looks very uglv
The lips rather full, pouting, and red. Her
teeth are regular, and not particularly white,
nor does she show them much when she
speaks. Her nose is almost aqueline, and |
would call il her best feature She has rather
high cheek bones, and her face when looked
al IN front appears too broad and fiat to be
handsome. In word, she is an agreeable,
good-humored looking, but by no means a
handsome young woman. She is apparently
in good spirits and laughs very frequently.
The Queens neck is longer than due pro-
portion warrants. Her head sits well upon
it. Her waist is small. Her hands and feet
are small the hands white and plump, with
taper fingers, loaded with many neat rings.
Were you TO see the Queen on her throne,
or on chair, or on horseback, you would
think that she was fully of the middle height,
but when she rises you see that she is of the
" dumpy" genus. The fact is she sits as il
she was FIVE feet five inches high, and she
stands more than three inches less This is
owing to her legs being disproportionably
short. This disproporlion causes her to walk
MISUNDERSTANDING along in fact.
To carry off her want of height, she is
fond, on state occasions, of having her train
borne by two very little pages--youngster OF
ten years old. But as i'll luck would have it,
the Marchioness Of Wellesley, Marchioness
Of Lansdowne, Countess of Mulgraye, Dutch
css Of Sutherland, and other ladies' about her
person, are tall women, and the contrast
makes the Queen appear oflower stature than
she really is. Her mother is a tall, well made,
dark.haired brunette, with remarkably fine
eyes. Her father, like the rest OF the Royal
family, was over the middle stature
Very little is now said about the Queens
marriage. Methinks she has quite time
enough to think Of that some years to come.
They say, indeed, that Lord Ephinstone is
coming hack from India, and that she had
penehant for him. How far this is true, there
can be no means, at present, of ascertaining.
On one point there is no dispute--lhe Queen
may legally espouse subject, if it so please
her.-Forcign Correspondence Of the ~ York
Star.
