\ TYPICAL SOUTHERN BEAUTY.
Miss Amelia Riyes, Who Has Lately
Become Famous as a writer.

Miss Amelia Riyes, Who Has Lately
Become Famous as a writer.
No writer Of fiction within the last twenty
years from the south has attained fame 50
rapidly as has Miss Amelia Rves, Of Nir-
gina, and within the last two years she
has become one of the most conspicuous
figures in American literary life.
1t is interesting to note how this young
Virginia girl sent her first story, ~ Brother
to Dragons" to the atlantic MOnthlN, and
how it was readily accepted, and us soon MS
It was published Miss Rivcs found herself
famous. The story is as pretty one as our
literary history contains, and the interest Is
greatly enhanced by the fact that Miss
Rives is typical southern beauty.
Miss Rives is % years old, Is blonde,
with brown eyes and light brown hair, anil
lives in the old country home in Albcmarc
county, Va. She is the granddaughter of
the late Hon William Cabell Rives,
congressman, United States, States ,,, senator,

to 1853. Her father, Col. Alfred Loudon
Rivcs, was norm in Paris, and had Gen.
Lafayette for godfather. Miss Rves was
born IN the city of Richmond in 1868, and,
as her work denotes, is Nirginan of Nir-
ginians.
Miss Rivcs spent some Of her earlier years
in Mobile. but most of her summers were
passed in Virginia, and at Castle Hill, her
ClildhOod's home, where she now lives. In
the January number of H,Uper's NOmhiy
she describes Castle Hill with great accuracy
in her story, "Nirgnius of Virginia"
Miss Mves paints as well as writes, AMI
showed devotion to art even before she at
tached herself to literature. As a child she
was great reader, and her favorte was and
is still Shakespeare
Her writing is done IN large, quaint, and
luxurious room that is bedroom aud study
in one. Its tone of color is light, blue and
white and gold predomnating. The walls
are hung with sketches and pictures, all
giving evidence OF the fine artistic feeling OF
the occupant. There are number of an
cestral relics in the room, one Of which is
the remains of the first dress worn by Mrs.
W. &. Rives at the court of France.
The furniture of the room is white
enamel and brass, designed by Miss Rives
herself. Some of the peculiarites of Miss
Rivcs are that she smokes cigarettes, in
dulges in long walks, and is an expert
equestrian, and she has also quite marked
social ecceutrcties. II Is said that she was
never known to keep an engagement at the

of this laid loose, aud often covered with
thin flags, We saw many picturesque
looking villages, many walled in, and all
with round towers forty or fifty feet in
diameter and two or three stories In

when wars among neighboring states
