slender physique, with neck long and slen-

high, intellectual forehead from which the
dark hair is smoothly combed back into
knot behind, lips thin and tightly compress
ed, keen gray eyes full of cunning observ
ance, small ears, long, graceful arms which
in their movements remind one of a fail,
and feet which require number sevens to
accommodate them. Her conversational
powers are remarkably brilliant and versa
tile, and she is a very clear and eaustic wri-
ter (only in politics one does not always
know which side of the fence she prefers).
She came of an old Scotch Covenanter fam
lily, and possesses all the vehemence, with
out the stability, for which they were noted.
She is divorced from her husband and has
one child, Miss Nettie, very sweet and rem
tie, with dove eyes and languid manner,
and refined, artistic tastes.

refused to utter single click. The wires

telegraphers. On top of tail house in the
