NEW YoKK, Nov. 16.--There can be
no doubt aboutit that beautiful woman
| is the noblest work of God, Honesty
is a cultivated virtue. Beauty comes di-
rect from Heaven, and should receive
the homage due such u gift. The way
came to think Of this was when, the
other day, saw that woman whose
| name will stand In this century's history
| as the most beautiful-Lillie Langtry.
| Time, that is five years of 1t, has made
no impression upon her. The eyes are
as bright, the skin as peach. like, and the
| figure as superb as when she first came
to this country, and received from the
| gallant Americans the concentrations
that her beauty demanded, Remember
| say her beauty demanded, not the
woman, for perfectly beautiful woman
simply lives along her life. and admira-
ton comes as naturally to her as does
the bow from wel-bred man.
OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
The artistic dressmakers say there is
no woman who has as fine taste in
frocks and hats as Mrs. Langtry, conse-
| quently the things she has brought with
her from the other side to delight the
feminine world are of interest. She
said to me; "Amencan women dress
well themselves; consequently, make
a great effort to get the very best and
most beautiful Of everything to wear
before them The hats that the beauty
has are most marvellous in shape, the
| greater number of them being enormous

feathers and superb buckles. At church
| parade last Sunday, she wore a mode.
colored cloth with an Elton jacket of
leopard's skin, and large Gainsborough
hat of green velvet, having on the left
| side three standing and three falling
| plumes, while just in front was an
enormous buckle of diamonds and pearls.
At night, when she went to hear Media
| sing, she wore a black broadcloth skirt,
with a rose-pink bodice, trimmed with q
yoke of point de Venise, and hat of
black velvet heavy with black plumes
and an enormous emerald buckle. About
that beautiful white throat were three
strings Of pearls, with diamond clasps,
while on each side was diamond
button, one set about with diamonds,

IN HER JEWEL CAsKET.
Speaking of jewels, those living beau.
ties which we women all adore, had
the pleasure of seeing all the gems in
Mrs. Langtry's jewel casket, and il
seems to me that it would be mean moi
to tell about it. Queen Victoria wears
one crown; her Lilyship can choose
from four. The first one shown me was
a nigh tiara of turauoises and diamonds.
With this, as with each of the others,
was bracelet, brooch and ring to
match. The next was one of rubies
and diamonds. This is the most beau.
tiful of all. There are IA large rubies
set about with over 100 diamonds and
innumerable small rubies. This, with.
out its adjuncts, cost $4,000. Next il
a tiara of pearls and diamonds, and then
one of diamonds alone. | looked al
them, admired them and was glad that
somebody else had the responsibility Of
them. The head may be uneasy thai
wears crown, but it certainly takes 0
beauty to look well III one, as any one
can see by observing the women at the
opera, and watching
