most famous watering place of her native
country, Kissinger, and the great benefit

full of the European pr1ncesses, and famed
for the kindness of her temper, notwith-
standing her rather naughty bearing. She
is tall, slender, graceful, with very white
skin, and, when pretty well, good deal
of color, large, limpid blue eyes, and an
amazing head of light hair, ,whiehshe wears
in eight massive braids, wound round and
round her head, forming magnificent
diadem of hair such as very few women
could match from their own resources.
She speaks all the principal tongues of
Europe, and is particularly fond Of the
English language, which she speaks per-
fectly, as though it we're her native dialect;
She is an excellent musician, paints and
draws extremely well, and is one of the
boldest and most skillful horsewomen in
Austria. She possesses a stud of very val
liable horses, and a pack Of splendid
hounds; and is said to take the warmest
interest in the racing and hunting of all
Europe, and to know by heart the names
of the heroes of the turf, biped and quad
ruped, of all the countries Of Europe
