LONELINESS of Blondes.

[ come now to type of blonde beauty
which is the high-bred Barb of them all.
She is no taller than the little ridiculous,
and equally we'll rounded anu vitality ex-
uberant, but not in the same manner as
sociated with laughter. For the purpose
OF nomenclature, this type may be styled
the nervous gold blonde. At 18 her Cos
samer hair is like sheaves Of gathered
sunbeams. but it darkens with years. and
finally puts on the smouldering swarthi-
ness of gold-bronze. When the light
falls athwart its rlpples, the gold is visi
Bile to the last, but in the shadow it is
bronze color. with a dash OF golden, al
ways wavy, never curling. Gray eyes,
with a pupil that dilates and contracts with
every passing emotion, rendering the eye
velvety black sometimes, and tometimes
very gray, with the smallest possible
point of black in the center, belong by
right of inheritance to this type She
has the pyriform face of Dante's Beatrice,
and her ears are two pink shells that ore
is tempted to cut off and preserve
as curiosities. Her features, cut with
cameo distinctness of definition, have an
aquiline tinge that is mainly noticeable in
the slightest possible prominence Of the
nasal bridge. Her complexion is roses
and lilies. her skin OF the texture OF the
finest satin. The particles of the nostrils
are thin, mobile and almost transparent,
and when she is excited two pink spots
about as large as her fnger-tips are Wis
IDLE. Alb, then, beware! Indeed. every
aspect of the wole organization indicates
brain and nerve, temper and spirit, rather
than softness; and yet she can purr like
cat when it suits her or spring like a
| panther when the occasion calls for it.

AGNES that he can firt with her with i'm
punity. He is certain to be ensnarcd,
bewildered, then laughed at, with such
bubbles Of ripping and musical laughter
as an amused seraph could scarcely imi-

in which beauty and decision meet, each
modifying the other.

know of only two women in this city
who are the perfection Of this type, with
the beautiful and highly emotional gray
eyes that pertain to it. One of them is
an old lady, who is constantly engaged in
ambitious projects, and succeeds by
SPLENDID tactics, where most men of re-
putedly great abilities would fail. The
other is young woman with whom an
intellectual triumph is of mere value
than the adulation of her hundreds of
admirers; and yet, if she once gave her
mind TO it, what fascinating coquette
she could be; sensitive, imaginative daz-
cling, delusiye-a brilliant talker, and
one who can create semblances of poetic
dreams without troubling herself to
dream them-if you are not impression
able, an hours gossip with a woman Of
this type is like slipping an infusion
