party if such a thing were possible. ALL
selves shut up in the special car, but at
last an opportunity presented ITSELF.
l., Dinner was announced shortly after
leaving the Cincinnati Junction, and the
| vice regal party, evidently in the best of
| spirits, sat down to the table in the fol-
| lowing order: On one side sat the
! Princess Louise, in the center, with Col
| onel DeWintoni to-1heri right and the
Hon. Mr.. Bagot to her1left.l Next to
Colonel DeNinton sat. Colonel Tourtel-
letto, and next to Aide-de camp Bagot
his brother, Lieutenant Bagot, facing
Her Royal ,Highness, On the opposite
! side Of the table was her husband, the
Marquis of Lorne; to his right sat Miss
Heryey, and to his left, Miss Mcneil.
DR.. Burnett was seated next to Miss
Hervey. The party appeared to be abb
solutely on the Same footing and en-
tIrely under the sway Of that peculiar
charm which will possess old travelling
companions. Talk and laughter were
general, and the Princess seemed the
jolliest of the lot. The meal lasted over
two hours, and. at its conclusion smok-
ing became general. Instead of with
drawing, the ladies remained to join in
the after-dinner chat. A package OF
cigarettes was placed before the Princess
Louise, and with that ease that comes
from practice, she lit one, and puffed as
even volume of smoke from her sweet
lips as ever came from the mouth of
Spanish student. She smoked cigarette
after cigarette, and talked and laughed
like ayoung school girl on lark. ..
The Princess is remarkably beautiful,
her countenance glowing in every fea-
ture with the stamp of royalty She re-
sembles strikingly the pictures of
Queen Victoria in her early woman
hood. . She has the Prince Albert nose
and eyes, however. Her skin glows with
changing tints of pinkY whiteness, and
when she laughs tine. whole face becomes
suffused with a healthful bloom, and the
large eyes sparkle with bewitching
mirthfulness. Her ewes are Slightly
darker than hazel and match her hair.
which appeared to be abundant. At the
back it was thrown into soft entwining
braids and gathered into net, while
from the crown of the head it fell in
loose puffs ON to her white, queenly
face. A dark brown satin bow served
the purpose of diadem. t., Her mouth is
small and the lips dark carlnine, and
Il dimpled chin adds to the already
abundant charms of her face. sfs -
She wore plainly made, black en-
press cloth dress, with somewhat
travel-worn white ruche about the neck.
Around this was a dark, narrow, satin
ribbon, joined together at the front with
a bar of gold, in which were stuck three
white pearls, the size of what the boys
call ''pee- wee white aliey.'' In each ear
was a pearl matching those in the pin.
Her hands are unusually large for a
woman of her size. She is about the
same build as Mary Anderson, and quite
as statuesgue.i On the third finger of
her left hand she wore "a cluster dia-
mond ring. When the Coatrier-JoursaL
reporter withdrew his gaze from this
daughter of Queen-Empress she was
holding a cigarette in this diamond
hand, while with the other she reached
across the table to fill her husbands
glass with Scotch ale.-LouistHle
