Americans generally are familiar with
the romance surrounding the family of

Beauty-the beauty Of woman-has its
place in history side by side with the re-
corded deeds of the sage, the Zero, the states
man and the thinker. The once read story
Of the siege of Troy leaves stronger recol-

illness of Helen than of the stormy valor of
Achilles; IN the age of Grecian glory
Phryne's charms shine out as clearly. as
the mighty deeds of Alexander, and Cleo

Perhaps the power Of beauty was never
better illustrated than in the last century
by the career of Elizabeth Cunning. She
was the daughter Of a poor Irish squire
John Cunning, OF Castle CoOte, Roscom-
mon, in COnnaught. The family was ruined
and apparently without resource. But yet
there was resourse left, and Mrs. Gun
ming discovered it. II was the beauty OF
Elizabeth and her sister Maria. By des-
perate eXertiOns the mother secured enough
money to take Der daughters to Dublin.
There the kindness OF Peg Wellington
furnished them with invitations to a grand
ball at the castle, and with dresses to wear
on the occasion. The maidens grew famous
in night and were the toast OF the town.
More money was raised, and in 1859 they
went TO London. Society received the
wild Irish girls" with open arms.
