We are not hidebound nor narrow
minded in our admiration for female
beauty. The fair land the dark, the
blondes and brunettes, all have their
special charms and admirable points.
Besides the beauty Of feature and color
there is also a spiritual and intellectual
beauty which is quite as potent as the
other. In the presence of pure and
lovely soul or sparkling intellect and
delighting disposition, one may be so
completely enchanted as to be utterly
blind to material things. But whatever
may be our iberality in matters of love
and admiration for the beautiful sex, and
we recognize their claims without regard
to the chronological or geographical limits,
we are bound to reserve special homage
for our own southern women, and we
are moved to this by the following tribute
to Louisiana beauty. 1t was contributed

MANY of our northern friends picture
all creoles with dark, swarthy skins, hair
black as the ravens wing and eyes of
ebon darkness. Now, this is altogether
an erroneous fancy. Why, some Of the
girls have lily white compilations, golden
locks and eyes Of heavens own bluei In

four sisters, all Of the purest blonde type,
and it would be difficult to find anywhere
in the wide world fairer. sweeter, loyeIier

creole girl rarely ever sullies her lips
with that slang which is SO generally
used nowadays. She is usually reared in
seclusion, and her days glide by peace
fully and TRANQUILITY. This tranquility is
seldom disturbed by storm cloud. She
is content to remain at home, where
there is always a wide field Of action,
and do her duty in that state Of life
unto which it sEall please God to call
her.

some Of them arc fair, very fair. 49,
