A Quintette of Western Beau
ties Selected for Your
Admiration.
Debutante Heipesses Who Are
Noted for Being Unusu-
ally Attractive.
Misses Pullman and Drake,
Daughters of Car and
Hotel Kings.
Misses Sprague and Ross.
Aristoeratie Beauties Of
the Windy City.

Chicago claims to be the home Of the
representative American girl" and it
must be acknowledged that the rapid
growth and geographical situation of
the city has had something to do with
producing women who are unlike those
of Eastern cities in many ways.
though possessing the beauty and other
attributes which make them admired
and sought after as fashionable women
of the world, writes a correspondent Of
the Philadelphia Times. They are not
given to promenading the boulevards of
State street, and one only catches a
glimpse of them on public thorough
fares occasionally as they fit in and
out of the shops. But watch the car
riageS as they drive up to the side en-
trance of Marshall Fields any pleasant
Monday morning, sit on the veranda Of
the Washington Park club house Derby
day or step inside the Auditorium any
opera night, and young beauties can be
counted by the score. And among them
all there is not a single professional"
beauty, although there is more than one
who could easily eclipse the widely
published young women who have had
the distinction of beauty conferred by
royal CUlluOlSStuT.
-
But among the fifty handsome heir
esses may be chosen five young women
who are particularly noted for their
beauty, their social popularity, as well
as by the fact that their wealth enables
them to indulge in fadS and toibleS that
may suit their fancy. This season there
are many beautiful debutantes, daugh-
tiers of wealth and culture, who are un-
usually attractive, but these singled out
for especial mention are we'll known.
not only at home, bnt in the East and
abroad. OF course there are many
others who might very properly be
named as possessing charms of face and
manner emitting them to consideration.
Selecting almost at random, however, :
from the WealthieSt and prettiest, there
is Miss Delphine Gillett, one of the
most attractive young ladies Oh the
South side and the daughter of a prom
inent capitalist, whose home on Michi-
gan avenue is filled with rare bric-a-
brac and curios picked up in foreign
travels. Miss Gitlett is of medium
height and slender, with face that has
the delicate refinement of cameo, lit
ianesque hair that waves and curls into
low knot at the back of her head, and
thoughtful eyes. She made her debut
q
great deal, although she has
nature of too great depth to
find society all-sufficing. She speaks
French and German fiuently, is a fine
musician and clever actress, alWaysi in
demand for amateur theatricals. She
dresses modestly, and has none of the
dash aud nerve that arc supposed to
characterize the Western girl, but to
those who know her we'll her amiability
and genuine worth endear her to them
more and more as acquaintance grows
more intimate. This winter the hours
that are not given to society are devoted
to studying Spanish, keeping up her
music and-as always works.
Another lovely South side girl is Miss
Helen Drake, the daughter of John 8.
Drake, of Grand Pacific hotel fame.
An extremely stylish girl she is, too-a
blonde, whose fair face has not yes
