Jne dela,ianf Of course Is always much
Fought after during her first season, posi-
bly, because all men would wish 20 be the
first 10 touch the hoart Of the rose. Around
her the most desirable men will gather at
nd N innocent
little heart she believes that all they tell her
s. as true as truth itself, and il her dear
little head is not turned before two months

But tho approved beauties of q season
or more will not lack for beauX. They are
tho de5utGnts whose heads were too level
20 be overturned with much tiattery ana
were too wise 10 choose a mato from the
crop OF a single season. They are the
women who will ever reign supreme" the
observed of all Observers
There are some women, who in other days
were themselves bellies, who now grace the
ballroom and give 1t tone and excellence.
They are the chaperons-the Aladames
Adam and Grevile OF our little world.
Mrs. Philip Haxall, Mrs. William l..
Royal. llrs. Allen, Mrs. BOlling-these
are the kind of women whose presence at
a social function gives it assurety OF sue
cess.
BEAUT1FuL MAY HANDY.
There is one woman who should have
chapter to herself. for her beauty is as
familiar 10 New York and Boston az to our
own CITY. At Narragansett Pier last sum-
mer she was the one woman around whom
all mon gathered, and among all the lovely
women from twenty States who ldled away
the summer at that delightful beach she
reigned queen. But these were strangers
10 her ard only admired her for her
beauty, while in Richmond Miss Nav
Handy is loved for her sweet manner and
her honest heart as well as for her lovely
lace.
There ere in Richmond many girls who
would attract attention in any assembly,
however brilliant, and, in fact, when one
thinks of IL, they must feel that this Is NE
city of beautiful women. Miss Lucy Blair,
an exquisite brunette. with face OF
classic mould and complexion like Pa
Tian marble; Miss Virgie CABOT, slender,
graceful blonde. with magnificent head OF
poiden hair; Miss Nette Potts, Miss Virgie
Brock, Miss Bessie Martin, Miss Brennan,
Miss Evie Walker-what rare rose
garden of girls!
These and others like them will be the
bellies Of the winter, and ballroom and re-
ception will be all the moro beautiful for
their presence.
