NEW YORK, March IL. 1882.
Jaw last evening the woman who.
in my critical opinion, ts the most beau
tiful woman in the world. II there 10
the shadow ola fault in her face or
form 1t has escaped my discovering eyes.
I formed this conviction yearsan years
ago when l first saw her ns u risky bur-
lesQuer on the stage. held to it against
all composition, when3 later on, she
played semi-trag;c roles quite badly, and
NOW that she is doing comedy part
happily in Dir0rc0Mx, at the Park thea
tre, 1 am tsxe.l in it for life. She is All
ideal Vcnlis-Or would In, but for the
restrictions Of propriety. One Of the
dresses she wore lust night was as near
the bounds a. possible without going
beyond. Her graceful arms were
bare right up t" the tops
Of her shoulder. Her smooth
ct If necks was uncovered. ind
y wedge-shalxd strip of her skin was
visible half way down to- her belt, while
the edges Of the covering Of her upper
bodice were in no hurry to become
opaque. She was truly lovely, aGd ]
bad only one fault to find. She wns

white lace fi0a,ncvs, the designs being
outlined with gold THREADS. and the

The tunic and cOrsage were figured with
gold. and the elbow sleeves and the in
gold lace. She carried an oval
fan If soft white feathers, bor-

tropical birds. Her retidish-goltlen hair
was brushed lsack and tied low in the
neck; then divided into tw" l,laits, while
the front hair formed low ridge over
her low forehead. One If the plated
strands encirclcd the brow us in the
pictures of Sappho, and the other was
arranged in low Knot behind. This Is
the newest fashion in hair-drcssing, and
pearl beads arc usually woven into
pl:aits; but Mrs. Lingxrtl wisely trusted
to the suitalleness of the Grecian
style, and was very high-hea(leti gOsl-
