trated." sketch of Madame LIE Vert, of Mobile,
Ala, the fairest and most womanly woman, so
said, in America. If we were marrying indi-
vidual, we thought at the time of reading the
first sketch, that something about her style
would suit us-and we are still further impressed
in that belief after having read the following
from the Wabash, Ind, E1preSs. Speaking of
an interview with her and her company at the
st. Nicholas Hotel, New York, the writer SAYS:
The merry sparkling repartee, and hap
py joke, few around. Showers of witticism fell
and sparkled like rain drops in the sunshine
Madame LIE Vert conyersed in three different
languages, and everybody spoke in the language
they preferred. Will my lady readers pardon
me for telling them in secret that Madame lie
Verts unprecedented success, not only in this
country, but in Europe-not only among US I'M
titled republicans, but among crowned heads,
and the flower of the nobility. She possesses,
as the foundation, grand, true, unseltish heart
"a most noble foundation for any superstruc-
ture; She avoids personalities. She never
speaks harShly of any one-or allows any one
to be maligned in her presence. The absent, be
they high or low, may always rely upon being
defended by her. She is ever ready to acknowl.
edge perfection, even in5her own sex. She is the
most splendid conversationalist on this side of
the atlan0c. Anecdotes, "reminiscences, books,
and pleasant witticisms form the bulk of what
she says. She is as simple as child, and as
naive. She has kind word for every body.
The greatest bore in New York, was listened
to by her, and smiled upon@and even old
John, that fixture at the ladies' entrance, held
his head up, and made his best bow, as she en-
tered and she never forgot to..say, How are you
to-day, John?" My charming friend wore
upon this occasion, blue brotade silk, low
neck, and short sleeves, with superb point
lace berthe. Her little hands, the prettiest
that ever were seen, glittered with rings of dia-
monds and Turquoise. Her jewels were en- suite
Diamonds and tarquoises were in her ears,
on her neck, and on her arms. In her right
hand she held a MS. tied with blue ribbon
One of her pretty fngures was thrust in, to
keep her place. Reader, this was the MS. of
those very Souvenirs of Travel, which Queen
Ylctona's autograph has complmented- which
Louis Napoleon and Eugene have read, in hon.
or to the sweet woman who had been their guest,
and supped en- fanille, at the Tuilleries-which
Lamartine advised aud of which the Duchess
of Sutherland boasts as the work of her dear
friend and beloved companionl. AT that time
