N E ENGLISH BEAUTY.
A story Of the Prince Of Wales and the
Wife of q Life Guardman.

San Francisco Argonaut London Letter.
The coming beauty-f, indeed, she
San not fairly be called so now-n a
Mrs. Cavley, the wife of an officer in the
First Life Guards. She was q Miss
Chappell, a daughter of a we'll known
Bond street music seller and publisher.
OF course she was q great heiress, with
out which comfortable fact, I fear, her
beauty might have gone q begging so far
as MI. Cavley was concerned. At all
events, money or no money, it isn't
evyrv man in q swell regiment like his

daughter, no matter how beautiful she
might be. Most of the daughters Of
English tr~rdespeople r girls with in
,tincts which all the education Of fash
ionable young Ladies' Academies" in
the world cannot overcome. They live
upon dress, exist upon admiration, and
are loud, boisterous, and fast. But
Miss Chappell was q gratifying excep-
ton to the general rule. Beautiful as .
dream and stately as q queen-that is
to say, the theoretical queen; not built
on the lines of the dumpy Victoria
she wa as modest as she was beautiful,
and as clear minded as she was stately.
A little incident, by no means unu-
,ual in its inceptive stage with the bud
ling beauties who catch the eye of the
Prince of Wales, will show the sort Of
woman she is. Before her marriage,
which took place less than q year ago.
she had what other women would
regard as the ''honor" of attracting the
notice of his Royal Highness. By one
Of his numerous equerries he signiied
his wish to make Miss Chappell's &C
quaintance." Nine out of ten women,
old and young. would have jumped at
the opportunity. But what did Miss
Chappell dop With tears in her eyes
and o shrinking blush of maidenly puri-
ty, she sought her father and mother
and begged them to take her away from
London at once. I don't think Albert
Edward evor got such . snub in his
life, not even excepting those he has To
endure from the beautiful Countess Of
Dudley every time court etiquette COM
pells him to be thrown in her society.
Shortely after Miss Chappell became
Mrs. Csvley, and her marvellous beauty
has been attracting in the higher cir
cles to which her marriage has given
her the entree the admirrtion it had in
the sphere she had left. Tall and grace
full, with curly brown hair clust-
ering all over her head, large violet eyes,
and one of the sweetest expressions inn
aginable, she moves about with charm
ing simplicity of manner, quite un-
conscious that every v follows her
wherever she goes. At the ball given
at Portsmouth the other day by Admit
raj Horribly to the Philadelphia cricket
srs, she was greatly admired, and the
King of Sweden was SO pronounced in
ais attentions that she got away from

IF relief. Royalty clearly has no
charms for her.
While l nm speaking OF him I will
give another reported instance of the
Prince Of Wales demeanor toward a
woman. The other night he was talk
"6 A-"ot Isollhey az DaA.
Il hear, Lady Romney," he said,
chat Lord Romney has a nickname.
What is it?
Instead of replying, Lady Romney
said: "Sir"-evervone addresses the
Prince, Sir-"Sir, I hear that you are
called 'Tummy.' Is it true?"
Without q word he turned with a
scowl and walked away, needless of the
attention his rude behavior attracted to
her. He really had only himself to
blame, for he had no right to speak of
8 husband to his wife in q way that he
would not allow himself to be spoken
to by the wife. Lady Romney is to be
complimented for her spirit. It is a
comfort. too. to think that in Lady
Dudley there is a m in England
brave enough to turn her back upon
him and refuse to speak to him. when
she meets him. As for Mrs. Cavley.
she avoids him as she would q cobra.
