The National hateAigencer is publishing
a series of letters from citizen of Wash
ington, WHO'S travelling in the Old World.
In his last letter he thus compares the
women there with those of his own coun-
try.
In my rambles about the village of
Baalbek, [ was struck with the beauty of
the children, and the extreme youthful
ness of some of the Arab mothers. I saw
several young females, not more than
twelve or fourteen years of age, with ba-
bies in their arms, evidently their own; !;
and | was told that this is quite common
throughout Syria. Many of the women
are very beautiful-much more so, think,
than either the Circassian or the Turks b
women. 1t was quite enchanting to see
their fine .complexions, dark eyebrows,
and flashing eyes; and for regularity and
delicacy of features, l have seldom seen
them equalled, except in other parts of
Syria. In Nazareth 1 saw some of the
best formed and most beautiful women
have ever seen in any country; believe
it is noted as much for the beauty of its
female population, among tourists, as for
its historical interest. But at no place
did I see what really thought approach
ed the perfection of beauty in SO high a
degree as in Bethlehem. The women OF
Bethlehem are absolutely bewitching. 1
never saw such perfect profles, such eyes
and eyebrows, and such delicate little
hands and feet. Not that [ mean to say
that they are at all to be compared in all
the higher attributes of beauty to our own
fair country women, for that would be sac
rilege. There is nothing in the East, OF
in Europe either, or any where else, that
l have ever visited, to compare with the
ladies of Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington. Talk of Partisan beauties
Lively and vivacious they are, to be sure
but not dignifed, not queenly, not gen.
tie and modest. Talk of English beauties
Grand enough, fair, but not graceful, and
stiff as buckram. Italian beauties-dark
dull & greasy. German-fat forid. Tur.
kish-tallowy and buttery. All well E.
nough in their way; but Meshalla! it won't
do to mention them in the same breath
with American beauties.
