shares with the rest of her family. who are
very charming and unaffected.
Miss Pauncefote is excessively clever
and well read, and is noted for the brill
fancy of her conversation; her bon mots

markable talent for music and is "A brill

too "splenddly regularly Jelly null" and no
one could accuse Miss Carroll's beauty of the
fault of Tennyson's Maud, for she is viva
cious, alive to new impressions, and dew
otee of music, being a first class performer
herself, and the possessOr of contraltO
voice fraught with feeling and pathos.
Miss Carroll is patriotic American, and
it is to be hoped that she will not follow
the example of her sisters in marrying
abroad Miss Louise and Miss Anita Car
roll both married Frenchmen, being now
the Counties de kergoay and Baronne de
la Grange. while a cousin, Miss Agnes Car
roll, is the wife of Count Anton Won
Heussenstaml,. of the Austrian nobility.
Miss Carroll is of distinguished family
herself being descended from one of the
signers Of the Declaration of Independence,
Charles Carroll, of Carrollton.
Miss Sybil Pauncefote, the second daugh-
ter of Sir Julian Pauncefote, the English
minister, is an intimate friend of Miss Car
roll, and, like her, made her debut last
winter She is of slender and graceful
figure and a quiet English style Of color
ing, something like that Of predecessor,
Miss Victoria West. the eldest daughter of
the former minister, who was considered a
beauty. She has the same clear pallor of
coulpItAloH, driolocTdllc features, lucllneu
to the aquiline, intelligent gray eyes and
brown hair, which she wears up on her
head.
One of her great attractions is a dainty
pecularity-her habit of blushing. Often,
without any apparent cause, surge of
color sweeps the transparency of her skin,
and this is the subject of much badinage
among her friends. She has very quiet
and dignificd manners, and her charm as a
hostess is well known-a rare one in so
young girl. Two girls the other day were
talking of "A reception they were about to
attend, and one of them said, "Oh,
