THE BALTIMORE GIRLS OF 1882.
They Were Beauties, Indeed, and
Amiable Withal.
From The Baltimore american.

From The Baltimore american
Ludwig Won Chosen was an aide to the
Comte de Rochambeau. He was evidently
a man of keen observation and of excellent
taste. No better proof of that is needed
than the following, which tells of his stay
in Baltimore, and which shows that even
100 years ago the women of Baltimore
were pronounced by such connoisseurs as
the officers of the French army the finest
in the land. Says Won Chosen, in his diary:
"On the 9th of Aug, 1852, III Baltimore,
Rochambeau arranged a parade of his
troops, which went Off splenddly. Our
soldiers could not have made a better ap-
pearance if they had been in France The
whole town came out to witness the
display; the ladies in rich toilet, and. as
far as it was within their circum-
stances, in elegant carriages the row of
which appeared endless Ole remark may
yet find its place here, that according to
my taste the ladies of Baltimore are pos
ssed of superior grace to those Of other
American towns. The greater number
are OF transparent comp leXiOn, the deli
cacy of which they well know how to pro
tect by hoods of huge dimensions They
also allure by the freshness and lively
brilliancy Of their eyes These accom-
plishments, as a rule, are combined with a
delicate shape; small white hands, well
cultivated; neat little feet, shod with great
elegance, and their hair dressed with much
taste. E pecially those who have beautiful
long hair possess the talent to make a show
of It by letting it fall negligently upon
their white shoulders either In loose tresses
or in long curls. Perfumes they are very
fond of, as are, in fact, all the ladies of this
continent, Or, might as well have said, Of
both continents.
lone day some ladies limited to me to
give them dancing party at my house. for
which purpose my laudladies, mother and
daughter, willingly placed their spacious
saloon at my disposal. j could not Well re-
sist, and thus. after the example set by
several other officers previously, arranged
a little ball for Aug 8, to which,
besides the ladies, invited my friends in
the town and n certain number of dancers
from the army, as, of course, also the gem
erals and staff officers. All did me the
honor Of appearing, yet we were not
crowded, AS the dancing saloon was adj 3ined
by several mailer rooms, which were taken
up by the spectators. At midnight tire
supper took place, which, to tell the truth,
was rather an Indifferent one, out what NAV
have been a lack Of delicacies was made up
by good humor. After that the dancing
was continued till 8 o'clock in the morning,
when every one withdrew. The next day
| went to inquire of all the ladies that had
been at the ball how it had agreed with
them, and found them all amiabe enough
to assure he that they had amused Them
selves exceedingly. Mrs. Lee, tho wife of
the governor, had also been present at the
ball"

seph Calegaris, Chemist and Druggist.
Charles Karlsbach's Furnishing-store.

Among the leading hotels Of San Fran
cisco is the Commercial Hotel, under the
proprietorship Of Edward Holland, sue
cessful man in this business. Ii is situated
on the corner of Montgo merry avenue and
Kearny street. and has recently undergone
complete change. which makes 1t one of
the leading hotels on this Coast.
There has been no saving in money and
skill to put it into this condition, and some
of the changes, which are of great import
ance to the public, are here given.
1t is conducted on the European plan.
That is, guests will be charged stated sum
for their apartments, and may take their
meals in the wellappointed restaurant con-
nected with the hotel, or elsewhere, just as
they please-thus only paying at the hotel
for what they get If they are invited to a
friends house, or are obliged to be absent
for some time, there is a satisfaction in
knowing that the dining-room is not being
sustained at their expense.
1t is in its interior management, however,
that the most radical and pleasing changes
