g#a
Mrs. Samuel +. Emmons entertained
Saturday night distinguished party Of
ladies and gentlemen invited To meet
Madame dc Barrios of Guatemala, whose
phenomenal beauty and wonderful charm
of manner have placed her in the front
rank of living celebrities. Madame de
BarriCs' beauty is of the blue.blooded
Spanish type. She has classicaily-shapei
head magnificent large dark eyes with
curling lashes--eyes full of tropical Ian
glor, tenderness and dcpth-a skin like
ivory, with Just suspicion of rosincss; a
tall, superb figure and q voice full
and rich, yet sweet and low, with
the tones of Spain lingering in it.
Her exquisite taste in dress, which
combines the EXTREMIST elegance with
richness, and her jewels, rare enough for
kings ransom, only serve as setting
for the beauty Of the woman. In man
ner, Madame de Barros is as simple, gen
tie and naive as young girl fresh from
her convent. Neither the brilliant social
success of her visits abroad nor of her inn
mcnsc circle of admirers in New York
and elsewhere has affected her in the
least. She is the most beautiful woman
seen here IN many years. There was
large reception after the dinner where
the elite of Washington society was rep
resented, and Madame dc Barrios may be
described as holding court of her own,
for IL was little less than an ovation. She
will receive this afternoon again with
Mrs. Emmons.
