dunn height, and slight. graceful figure.
Her hair, of which she possesses an abund-

pallor which so often accompanies auburn
hair. Her eyes ale dark gray.
The extreme gracefulness of movement
which is part OF Miss Sherman's personal
charm comes undoubtedly from her GYM

feats of exercise, and, in addition to this.
fences well. She is fond also of all
sorts of sports, outdoor and indoor, and is

citation OF the mysteries Of the German opera.

developed along any lines; it displays itself,
however, in her charming ARRANGEMENT and
disposition of the furniture and bric-a- brac
in room and in the simplicity and beauty
of her dress. When not in mourning her
favorite colOrs are the golden and seal
browns. Her evening dresses are always
of white.

tion. Thackeray is her favorite novelist,
