The PRINCESS DAGMAR.-The Princess
Dagmar of Denmark, who is to be the
next Empress OF Russia, is just eighteen
years old. She looks far short OF that
age, from the infantime and innocent
loveliness OF her manner, and from her
stature. Her eyes and teeth from the fas-
cinating beauty of her face, her features
being far from regular. In complexion
she is brunette but the skin Is won
derfully clear, and the roses of health
seem ever to bloom on her soft dimpled
cheeks. Her stature is rather under mid
die height, "but her form seems perfect
and her bust, scarcely yet come TO ma
turity, rivals the most perfect OF Ihor-
waldsens goddesses in the swan like
neck, the gracefully dropping shoulders
and the rounded proportions oil her
arms" To become Empress OF Russia
the young lady must change her rel on
and become member of the Greek
church.
