beauties.

| Beauties.
| Mrs. Langtry is the daughter of the
Dean of Jersey, an island which is fiji.
nous for pretty people, although it
had not before attained the distinction
OF furnishing London with the beauty
officially accepted rs such. Her early
life was passed entirely in the isle OF
her birth, and there seemed 10 reason
why she should ever have left it, until
one day an adventurous widowcr, who
had already taken one vito from ,Jcr-
6cy, came thithcr again and carried of
| Miss lie Breton rs his second. They
came to London without exciting any
great enthusiasm or becoming known
to many members Of society until
| 1877, then through concurrence of
fOrtuit0uS circumstances Mrs. Lupytry
was seen, admired and invented us a
beauty by certain amateurs, WHO i'm
mcdiatcly sounded hcrpraiscs through
out the town. When the town came
to look at her it found she was indeed
beautiful. She possessed wonderful
eyes ofa linpid, transparent blue,
which always wore II winning express
sion. She was observed to be on
trcmcly modest in her dress, very
quiet and unassuming III her manner
and discreet in all her actions. Jcal-
ousv was disarmcd, admiration in
creased and Mrs. Langtry became one
of those sights of the town which the
"Spring Captain" ycarns to SEQ and
Tor which country cousins make long
piisrimaScs by railway. "It seems
put yesterday" says u recent number
Vanity F0ir, "whcn as bride Sic
appeared in tho Park and set ten thous-
and tongues a-wagging. Since then
she has played II foremost part in the
battle of life, and this Draycly and
well. You arc spcllbounl by her in
ctlablc sweetness before you have cX-
changed hardly q dozen words with
her. Every wcll-bred woman is, of
course, free from gene, but this ono is
gifted with delicious manner, simple
and sympathetic rs that whcrcwith
mentally we cndow Mignon, and she
talks at once SO prcttily and so musi-
cally that YOU arc inscnsibly impress
cd with the idea Of her absolute SIM
plicity. The bright, ringing treble,
the light springy step, the happy hal
cyon Wow Of liio characteristic Of girl
hood, arc still hors. Above all, she is
kindness itself incarnatc. At Glas-
gov, whcre-that goes without she
saying-shc was the cynosurc, tho as
tonishcd the canny Scotch by her gen
crous impartiality. The plain and un-
attractive partner claimed her hand in
tho ball room and hc was not refused,
though Adonis stood at her elbow
awaiting his chance. Lily-like in
every fibre, she has preserved an OK
halted reputation for womanly virtue,
and this, although she has tlatfcrcd and
followed, carcsscd and made much of,
moro than any living woman. She
has remained, however, tho same, true
to tho gentle emblem forever hers, the
Jersey LilyW
Lady Virginia Sanders is entitled to
the gratitude Of London society for in
Producing to it her niece, Miss Fitzpat-
rick, who subsequently married Mr.
Cornwnllis West, Of Ruthin Castle
Ruthin Castle is somewhere in Wales
and therefore evidently not q fitting
abiding place for beauty whose duty
it is to be everywhere in London. nc
London accordingly Mrs. Cornwallis
west went, and she was greeted by al,
admiration almost sufficient to console
her for the most prolonged absence
from her Welsh castle. Her face is OF
that charming and peculiar style OF
beauty that has always moved man
kind moro than tho most regular fen
lures. She has worry rich complex
ion, OH which an occasional frecklt
stamps a certificate Of flncness anC
thereby adds to the charm of the gener

hair, which used to be worry long un
