A BERLIN BEAUTY AND HER
OPERA CARR

The Countess Seidlewitz Is celebra-
ted Court beauty, and is lady Of hon.
or 70 the Princess Carl "a sister or tho
Empress). She sat just next to me. as
only the PARTON If the box was between
US, and she was the most beautiful wo-
man | say perfectly imperial IN fact
white and magnificent as a lily. Her
features were perfectly regular, and she
had proudly-cu cut mouth, and sush irz
zling little teeth. Then. her arms, neck,
and shape were exquisite. She wore
the shorest kind of dress, and one that
only such beauty could have borne
1t was white silk, overskirt, simply
caught up In great puff behind. The
waist was made with small basque.
but very lew aud with very short sleeves.
Round the neck was white bugle firing
and then there were two or three rows
of this fringe ia front, graduating 10 the
waist, smaller and smaller, and going
round the basque. All the front breadth
Of the skirt was laid III folds of satin: III
groups Of three, and on the edge Of every
third row was the fringe again, gradua-
ting wider and wider toward the bottom.
In her hair was wreath Of white ver-
benas, or snow balls and green leaves.
Her sole ornament was as magnilicent
diamond locket and earrings of some
curious design, the locket depending
from very fine gold chain, which chal-
lenged all observers to notice the fault
lessness of her neck. One sly bit Of CO.
quetry was visible Ia two natural low-
ers. llies-of the valley, with their leaves
which she had stuck In her corsage SO
that they should rest against her neck
and show that theyIwcre not white. than
her skin! You see There were no folds
anywhere The whole dress hung in
long lines aud showed the q tour Of the
figure, nothing but these fringes which
cleaned and waved with every motion
to relieve it--not even bit of black
velvet anywhere, for tho lace round the
neck was drawn through with white
silk thread. There was another lady
in the same box, whose dress was very
beautiful, too, though she herself was
not. 1t was green silk with green
tulle over dress puff'd, and with carr
Of silver wheat, scattered over it. The
tunic was Of silver Grape, the bottom
cut in scallops and trimmed with silves
wheat. A wisp of wheat was knotted
round her neck for necklace, and a per
ect sheaf of it in her hair. 1t was an
exquisite dress.
