When Iris Henley dies there will. in all
probability, be friends left who remember
her and talk of her-and there may be
strangers present at the time (women for
the most part) whose curiosity will put
questions relating to her personal au-
pearance. No replies will reward them
| with trustworthy information. Miss Hen
Iey's chief claim to admiration lay in a re-
markable nobility Of expression, which
reflected every change of feeling peculiar
to the nature of a sweet and sensitive wo-
man. For this reason, probably, no de-
| scriptions of her will agree with each 9TH
er. No existing HkenesseS will represent
her. The one portrait that was painted Of
Iris is only recognizable by partial friends
of the artist. in and out of London, pho
tographic likeEesses were taken of her.
They have the honor of resembling the
portraits of Shakespeare in this respect
compared with one another, it is not pos
sible to discover that they present the
same person.
As for the evidence offered by the loving
memory of her friends, it is sure to be
contradictory in the last degree. She had
a charming face, a commonplace face, an
intelligent face-a poor complexion, a
delicate complexion, no complexion at all
eyes that were expressive of a hot tenn
per, of d bright intellect, of q firm charac-
ter, of an affectionate disposition, of a

of inveterate obstinacy-a figure too short;
no, just the right height; no, neither one
thing nor the other; elegant, if you like
dress shabby; oh, surely not; dress quiet
and simple; no, something more than that:
ostentatiously quiet, Electrically simple,
worn with the object of looking unlike
other people. In one last word, was this
mass of contradictions generally popular,
in the time when it was a living creature?
Yes-among the men. No-not invariably.
The man of all others who ought TO have
been fondest of her was the man who be-
haved cruelty to Iris-her own father.
And, when the poor creature married Gf
she did marry, how many of you attended
the wedding? Not one of us! And when
she died, how man of 0 were sorry
for her? All of us! What! no difference
of opinion in hat one particular? On the
contrary, perfect concord. thank Godl
Let the years roll back. and let Iris
speak for herself, at the memorable time
when she was in the prime of her life, and
when a stormy career was before her.

nations. The emperor of Germany, the

in Europe, finds, it is said, a certain diff
