not go forth on a gala day to push and

Both men and maidens are passionately

they could live without it. Poor. indeed,

In personal appearance the Creoles are a

no positive beauty there is a comeliness and

contralto voice Of Miss Ami Eustis,
now Mrs. keenan,, has created
sensation abroad. Not only
the silvery notes, but the fine vocal method
OF Mrs. Mott, nee Bouligny, were enthusi-

one of her trips to Paris. It is an honor to
New Orleans that these gifted ladies re-
ceived their musical training here, under
the guidance of Nine. Boudousquie.
To see the Creole bellies in their glory you

delicately- moulded features, and clear
olive complexion. Her figure is lissome and
rounded-supple and slender without anQu-
larity or attenuation-and her hands and
feet are small and dainty. Now and then a
strain of Andalusian blood produces a
charming milk-white blonde with violet
eyes and shimmering golden hair, doubly
piquante among her darker sisters.
Though the rigiditv of the old system of
chaperonage has somewhat relaxed, the
Creole girl is not allowed as much freedom
