 In describing the pretty girls who have been selected by Mrs. William s. Lowell as representative beauties for her calen- dar the following details are given by an exchange of Miss Annie Reese's picture: Miss Reese represents Alabama in the calendar It is a mistake to say that Miss Reese is from Selma, as this notice does. She is originally from Eufaula, Ala, and her father now resides in Atlanta, though for several years Miss Reese was a great favorite in Birmingham society: "One of the daintiest water colors in the whole collection shows Alabama's representa- tive Miss Annie Helen Reese of Birming- ham. standing looking down pensively her profile turned to the spectator Her beauty is of the most refined and aristo- cratic type; a slender and rather tall bru- faette with good figure she is noted for the perfect taste of her costumes. On this occasion she wears gown of pale apple green satin. Over this there is an outer skirt of white chiffon, delicately and richly embroidered in pale shades of rose, blue and lemon. The large sleeves are of green satin, the full baby waist and girdle of the chiffon. with a zouave effect of lace, and around the shoulders is a trimming of pale green ostrich tips The hair waves away in masses on either side of the face and is arranged without ornament. and in her hand she holds a fan of apple green gauge. Miss Reese was originally from Selma, Ala. but has lived for sometime in Birmingham, which claims among its other attractions many beautiful girls. She is at present residing in New York city, but it is rumored will return to the south before long as a bride.'
