 She n woman of middle height. ~tth a ~eii developed iigure. and as first sigh, she ,s not beautiful, as people have been led io espec, by the aatteriag aoslces tha, have been published about hef Her hatr, rieh rcd-hru~n. vas done sp ,a two punches winch were happened to her head by silver skull Her front haiI. released from cr,inping p.ns.

Her feat ares are regular. and eyes are large. gray blue and expressive. particularly when she |. talking. sies mouth would s.se ap w,th Soldene's and she has set of fine regular teeth. which zre shown advansa- gcously whenever she smiles. Much pains have been taken to spread the .dea thai Mn.

But consider fos a mo. ment what change. from such motive means. If Mrs. Langtry ~sll dsss ssd hss London boots and appear in ssockings nos from any artistic motive, but sotely tn draw the almighty dollar, she hss taken the first step on the load that leads di. festy to The Black Crook, Ms. Lang. try's lower isnbs, as psssensed to the pssb- iie in Kosalnd, are sery shin.
