The great charm Of the White Sulphur
Springs, in West Virginia, its browning
glory, is the bcwildering multitude of beau
tiful women who yearly assemble there.

them up in glowing style. This year his
work Is done chiefly for the St Louis
Globe. Democrat, and this is the wayhe does
it: No other roof under heaven covers SO
many radiant cnchantresses, lovely as the
brightest vision Of q poets dream. No.
where else on earth can be found such q
dazzling array OF glorious young celestials,
exquisite in face, faultless in form, and
captivating in manners and mental attrac:.
tions. Turn where you will, on lawn and
winding walk, in parlor, hall, and cool
veranda, swarm creatures fitted to have
strolled amid the amarapthinc bowers Of
primeval Eden and mingled with the an.
gels who were wont to linger there. As !
shall describe many OF them in my sketch
OF the 'Lee Memorial Ball, which takes
place next Thursday evening, / shall mem

nent in belleshipal annals. There, dark

OF beauties, OF girls who would DO raging

age OF six or seven fellows to every girl is
