HE "ohl2D > tREI11ESI NOAAN-
Keswick, in Cumberland. can boast
of one charming possession in the
shape of the prettiest woman in Eng
land. She is bar-maid at the Nelson
wine vaults of that town. Her name
is Edith Twentyman, and she is re
ported to be as good and modest as she
is beautiful. She has the gorgeous
milk-androses complexion that is so
rarely seen outside of England, united
with splendid eyes, full, dark and luS-
trous as those of a gazelle, pearly teeth,
regular features, with rich. dark hair,
growing low on the brow, and a fig
ure whose fine outlines were not to be
concealed by the cut of her country
made gown. She is simply dazzling,
and how such pearl of beauty has
been left hidden III this quiet little
town is q marvel. She is we'll edu-
Gated, paints in water colors. and is
perfectly free from all vanity and
self-consciousness. Had she been
born French woman she would ere
this, have dazzled; the public in some
mute role in one of the great spectacu
lar plays of the day As tits, she will
probably follow the example of hel
elder sister, who was as beautiful as
she, and who married a good, honest
fellow IN her own station of life, and
Is now comfortable matron with q
house full of children.
TASTE OF FRENCH WOMEN.
French women, who are admitted
TO possess a more refined taste in dress
than n+lh, -,
ent wearing a coarse, slazy wooden
fabric very ike light horse blanket
for travel and hunting purposes. The
material is made up plainly in two
pieces, plated plain skirt and coat
tailor-made in fact, with a good deal
of silk machine stitching to show in
lieu of more elaborate trimming.
French women wear winter collars
and cuffs and heater CANT de suedes
than any women on earth, and one
searches in vain for the particular
charm in a Partisan lady's perfect
toilet. 1t is no one thing especially.
but just everything in general Such
running symphony of color through
out, and such neatneSs and complete
ness from bonnet to shoe. Strangers
are very apt, when strolling through
the Boulevard Haussmau or Chaus-
see d Antin, to mistake pretty, dark
eyed grisette for baroness when ad-
miring her olive green silk costume,
Leghorn poke with green feathers,
and yellow undressed gloves fitting
like gloves on the Bernhard model
used in glove stores, not to speak OF
exquisite little olive-green kid shoe
Laced over the ankle-bone.
EXTENSIVE HAULS.
Foreigners haze made an extensive
haul of American heiresses this sea
son. Sir Sharles Wolseley, who has
just married Miss Murphy, of Califor-
MIA, receives with his wife the snug
dover of $4,000, 900. The marriage
was celebrated at the pro- Cathedral,
Kensington, but judging from the
character of the guests there was a
lack of popularity about the union.
When Lady Glare Fielding and Mrs
Hickslord represent the highest social
element at the wedding of an English
Baronet, the chances are that the wed
ding is not approved of on both sides
of the house. However, Bonanza
Murphy was there and that makes up
for any deficiency on the part of the
English aristocracy. Miss Laura
Rhinelander, of New York, is to mar
ny Mr. Munro Butler Johnstone, mem
Der of Parliament for Canterbury. In
this case, however, the Englishman
haslnoney as well as position. Mr.
tombstone, besides being member of
Parliament, is also an art critic, and a
thoroughly good fellow. His fortune
is quite as large as that Of his bride
After the announcement of Miss
Rhinelander's approaching marriage
comes the engagement of Miss Emily
Fairchild, of Virginia, to a japanese
Nobleman. Then LordiBeaumont, is
reported, is engaged to Miss Jenie
Flood, and the nephew of the Earl of
Eversham, Mr.. Ernest beckett Deni-
son, has won Miss Louise Lee Miss
Lee is one of the most beautiful and
wealthy girls of the South. Thus are
five American fortune-hunters de
frauded of their national rights.
