A correspondent thus raves over the
Spanish woman;
And the woman Is she beautiful? |
hardly know. but she is the most bewild-
ering, bewitching, fascinating of all Ewes
daughters. There is a magic in her
step, poise of foot, grace of rhythmic
motion, proud tenderness in her dark
eye; II something voluptuous, which is
yet ehaste; magic in her smile such as
no other race or cline can show. Beau
tifuls a man whose blood runs red
within his veins may see beauty else
where, but he has never felt the per-
feet charm of woman's womanliness
until ho has met love looking from the
melting brightness OF those matchless
orbs which none but Spain's clark
glancing" maidens bear. There is no
neglect here. The dress may not be rich,
but there is not fold ill-placed. To
her is paid the reverence Of passionate
devotion. Still is Spain the land of ro.
nance and of song, because her men are
brave, her woman are worthy to be
loved The lover who having listened
to slanderous tale--they were of the
working classes, and could speak to-
gether as lovers, higher placed may never
h 1pe to do-wrote in the heat Of passion
to his love. harshly upbraiding her, then
found she had been blameless, and cut
ffom his wrist the hand which had
penned the lines and sent it to her, beg.
ging forgiveness for what remained, was
a true Spauiard The story is told. 1t
may not be true in letter, but it breathes
the devotion a Spanish girl may arouse.
Per contra, another correspondent dis
poses OF the Enel sh woman after this
fashion An English woman is not gen
orally prepossessing creature. A tall,
lank form, with beefsteak complexion, a
"shingleln head of hair, on which sets
a turban hat, fearfully and wonderfully
made ard odly worn. A dress of the
most unbocoming material, i'll made,
and So badly fitting that an American
cook would not be seen in it. Hang as
much silver iewelry MS you can around
her neck and on her wrists, and give
her breastpin OF the same metal, large
enough for an ancient Roman shield.
Feet that would make Chicago girl
feel happy, shoe about No. is in size,
with sole over an inch thick and very
little heel Wind this up and let it walk,
and you'll have an English girl. Pom.

anxiously for an American girl, just to
show them how beautiful and graceful a
woman can be, ii properly dressed

The good old query ran, whats in
name = Judging from the extraordi-
nary energy shown by actors in shut
fling off their legitimate patronymics,
and in exchanging them for something
new, we are tempted to think that,
from theatrical standpoint, at least,
there must be great deal in name;
or rather, that there is supposed to be a
world of significance in the way Thes-
plans name reads on playbill. To
begin with, here is Henry Irving, who
just now is treading tho boWds in New
York, This gentleman really rejoices in
the Vulgar name of Broadrib. We
admit that it would require something
like the Nemean lions nerve to face a
theater going public with a name like
that. Then there is the case of Law.
renee Barrett, which is even worse.
This gentleman's family name is Bran
nigan. Flaring posters on which the
name OF Lawrence Brannigan should
appear as theatrical star might prove
too much for the ordinary play going
stomach. But the case is aggravated
when it comes to the instance of Barney
Williams, who was confossedly low
Irish comedian, and yet who was un-
willing to face the public under his own
proper name OF Barney La,ferty.
Still pursuing our inquiries in
field remarkable for human
eccentreities, rs human nature is de-
yeloped through connection with the
stage, we strike the name OF Dion Bouci-
cault-a gentleman noted for a
considerable order of playwright genius,
by the way. Mr.. Boucicault started out
in life Dionysius Lardner Bourcicault.
