course of her life. The Duchess Of Sutherland
was, when she saw her, a large, magnificent WEI
G.ain--a perfect queen, with light complexion;
she was the paragon of beauties III England
Lady BlrSsngton was, To- her mind a beautiful
woman. Kings ard nollcs wee at her ftct.-
She was very v0lmI'tuOnS, with neck that sat
OH her shoulders like tliat Of goddess She had
a beautiful hand, and was very proud of it, aud
eyes that captvatcd every one. In Italy they
called her La DI"a, Tie SOd'ieS$.
The present Duchess 0f Wellington was also
n remarkably lovely woman, hut possessed Of
little animatinn--eAactly like piece of s"nlp-
turc, and ms cold. The Sheridan family was
generally admitted to he the most beautiful in
England. Two Of the were universally
acknowledged to he the haudsomcst men in
England. Hon. Mrs Norton, well known on
this side of the Atlantic on account of her poe

The ladies Of France wcr. not so beautiful, as
charming. Tney possess, in remarkable de
gree, what is called tact, and ir all the ladies
only possessed this, they would actually govern
the world. The art Of pleasing, and Of refined
manners. was the first study nf young French
girl. Still, France is not without her beautiful
women. The MarclIi0nesS dc La Grange was
the most lovely woman she met in Paris, and

saw her she one Of the witlicst, livclicSt
little things she ever saw. All the portraits 81
her she had ever seen made her too tall. When
She knew her in Madrid, before her marriage
with the Emperor, she was much caItivacd with
Louis Gottschalk, the celebrated pianist. She
knew not il he had been in this city, hut in the
United States he had carried off the hearts of Il
million of young girls, without the poor fellow
being aware Of it. The women Of Russia are
also beautiful. In Turkey she saw but very lit
tic beauty. The criterion OF beautiful wuniun
there, was that she would be good load for a
camel. When young they arc pretty, but feed

Italy has a style Of beauty peculiarly its own.
true Italian woman is all vvRcity, and there
is no life for ler without love and intrigue: and
when old age puts ont her fire, they engage in
platOnic intrigue. But Italians have the excuse
that their husbands pay them but little attcn-
ton, and they have To go abroad To get what
satisfies them, and this l,ls true to norc c0rIl-
tries than Italy. y celebrated person describes
q woman as thing that loves, and if no injus-
tice is done her, she naturally clngS to that
which first awakened hCr love. Gentlemen, il

the miStrt IS Of the celebrated Lord Byron, was
Il woman of great beauty, and WHEN sixty years
of age, was run alter by the Young men Of Paris,
who preferred speaking to her vastly to the
young girls. In the North Of Spain the style of
beauty was plain and fair, but in the South,
