SOME PRETTY JEWESSES.
*BAB'' &4YS THEY'RE THE HIND
SOMEST CREATURES ALIYE.

She Describes Some of the Beauties at
Long Branch-How They Look in the
Sand-A Prescription for Stout Women
Young Girls Gagged.
Bah speaks thus of some OF the
beauties at Long Branch in the New
ark Eoenin9 NeWs:-
/ do think, without any exceptions
that a pretty young Jewess is the
handsomest creature in the world; her
dark, glossy hair is a relief after the
numerous natural and made blondes,
her great eyes are soft and full OF ex-
preston, and usually she enjoys life SO
thoroughly that it seems as II she
made the world better by being in 1t.
There is one girl who looks exactly
like Aimee Desclee, that exquisite
creature for whom Dumas wrote
"Frou-Frou." She has superb black
hair and it arranges itself; it seems to
fall in half-bFaided way at the back,
but in the meantime concludes to
frame one side of her face, and touch
ing her cheek makes her white skin
look whittier still. She is as 1.-THE as
the real original serpent, and for that
reason her dancing is poetry. look
at her, and she is a joy to me; ! think
of poor Frou-Frou, | think of Dumas,
| think of all the tragedy there is in
that young face. | am away OFF IN
dreamland, Suddenly a matron comes
by. Dark of hair, white Of skin, but
oh! the flesh, the figure that was
SUeIte has become more than round;
the delightful grace has disappeared.
the deep ayes are sunken in hills of
flesh, and 1 begin to wonder If it is
going to be the old story of the mother
of pearl. / do not know that these
people belong to each other, but in
one / seem to see the future of the
perfect present.
Do the women battle at the Branch?
Not very much. You see, the average
woman must consider her hair, for all
are not as yet sufficiently civilized to
shave it off and wear a wig. How
ever, there are me Or two who make
pictures of themselves and paddle.
They obey the nursery order and don't
go near the water-that is, not too
near; but they wear the smartest sort
of bathing suits and display the
whitest of feet, which is really their
reason for appearing. A secluded
spot is chosen and these two charmers
come ON the scene robed in long serge
cloaks and soft canvas shoes; a maid
takes the cloak and removes the shoes,
and there they stand looking like one
of Cabanel's pictures, though they do
wear a little more than Cabanel's
young women generally do. The o s
tunes are of black stockinette, the
tights reaching just to the dimpled
knees. Over these is worn a short
kilt, and then a blouse with a broad
sailor collar, heavily trimmed with
gold braid, forms the bodice. The
hat is of blue silk, with gold band
about it, and a great wealth of blonde
hair streams down from under it,
These sweetnesses walk around the
sand, wade a little and dabble their
feet in the water. A lovely foot is so
rare a possession that nobody has
even blamed the beauty of the Court
of Charles III. for displaying her white
limbs before the admiring courtiers,
! and who will ever think of the Coun-
tess Castiglione without remembering
the wonderful white feet aud the
dimpled knees that made her famous
during the Second Empire? So why
should not the nineteenth century
beauties display the charms which
really after all are much more desir-
able to see and much more decent
than the display of flesh and blood
made by a bodice cut very low?
