Queen ylctora's eldest grandchild, Charlotte
Hereditary Duchess of Saxe-Meinlngen, has been
visiting Paris with her husband. She is a tall,
graceful young woman, and what is very uDcOm-
mon in North Germany, dresses with taste
and puts on her clothes well. She is fond
of getting herself photographed from a
dorsal point of view with her head turned round
to show the profile which is soft and regular but
not classic The fall of her shoulders is of sculp-
tural beauty. When here she got NJ. Cunlife-Owen

is unsullied with dyestufs. and her cheeks have
never been busted with poadre de Tiz. Her beauty
is Of a commanding order. 1t is now in Its
Indian Summer, and must soon pass on TO the
Winter period. Gambetta has for many years been
the intimate friend of this lady and her whole
family, and think was disappointed at not finding
