THE LOVELY QUEEN DE ITALY.
The Dress, Manner and Appearance OF the
Southern Favotite,

Southern tay0t1te
This ia what an Euglishman writes
about Queen Margherjta of Italy: SAY
what we may about equality, there is
something very satisfactory the
feminine mjRd at least--in coed long,
exhaustive, uninterrupted survey of a
queen, and Queen Margherita OF Italy is
the most delightful object possible for
our eyes to contemplate, Her face is so
spontaneously interesting and vivacious
that 1t might belong 70 any high-born
lady untrsmmeled by cares of state; her
smile, her bow, her ready words are the
perfection of royal evi, or, perhaps
rather the unlearned perfection OF royal
nature.
At the recent Bologna festival l saw
her every day, and every day l became
more entirely her slave. Her enjoyment
of tAo ceremonies in whiah she took part,
her brisk attention, quick words and
looks and laughter, were revelation to
eyes accustomed TO witness the serious
and mechanical performances OF royal
duties in our SITTER northern courts. /
will not 20 SO far as TO say that any ore
can excel in gracefl, salutation our own
popular princess; but when one has
watched tho animation-I had almost
written the bonhomie-of Queen Mar
gherita, one sees that it is possible TO
bring a new element of enjoyment even
into long -winded court ceremony. To
see the BolonREese students swsrming
round her carriage, and even catching
and kissing her hand in the furore of
their log alty--to note the round white
daisy flower in every button hole and on
every bonnet-gRve on an absurdly ro-
mantle heart beat for second or two.
Queen Of hearts, rose to Onos lips in

full, becoming and suitable, and the CON
junction means good deal, even in a
queen; IL is not overgorgeous or too com
plioated, an error into which italian taste
sometimes tails. notice that she carri cd
the same fan-a large plain one OF pale
blue silk--on several occasions aud With
several dresses. That fan exercised me
considerably; the quick vieaoity with
which the queen handled it, the rapid
movements, which played their part in
her conversation, could not fail to fascj-
nate my English eyes. l fancy only an
italian or a Spanish lady could give sucl
a graceful commentary q her words with
few lurns OF the wrist. Unless existing
arrangements are altered by che court
mourning we may e1p eot TO see the Italian
royal family in London shortly. The
