NicnnCses more tender s~wecthCarts.
But for tall, full-blown. generously pro-
portioncd young creatures. with cN-
Quisitc skins and clear eycs, London is
far and away ahead Of any city In the
world.
Miriam Clements. with her amber
eyes and hair as yellow as corn %tasscls.
Is a thoroughly typical English beauty.
Like Mrs. Langtry. she was born on
the island Of Jersey. and her admirers
GRE enthusiastic enough to assert that
che IL more beautiful than the Jersey
Lily herself. Miss Clements is only
twenty-three years old, and one has to
close ones eyes and think back n good
many years TO remember Mrs. Langtry
when she was In the pride Of her youth.
IL one remembers very clearly the com
parison would perhaps be hardly to
Miss Clements advantage.
A new generation has, however,
sprung up-a generation OF young men
who never saw Mrs. Langtry at her
best. and who are sure hat they have
never seen anything as beautifula as Miss
Clements. Following Dorothy Baird.
as Trilby, in London. It says a great
deal for Miss Clements that her beauty
made the sensation 1t did. Although
Miss Baird-who dropped playing
Trilby in order to find the time to
marry Henry lrving's son-was the
most atrocious stick in the atrocious
company which played "Trllby" at the
London H%aymarkct. she is one of the
lovelicst young women In the world.
In n mornings walk down Fifth avenue
you will not sec. among all the babies
in their porambulators. one whose Eyes
are clearer or whose Lips are fresher
than hers.
BY all accounts Miss Clements is an
other picture Trilby," chosen rather
10 fulfil Mr.. Du Mauricr's artistic re-
qulrements than to meet his cXigencles
ne an author. IL Is, indeed, unhappily
the case that the magnificent young
English girl. with the eyes of a fawn
and tho throat of a dove. Is apt to be
as stupid az n heifer. No class OF En-
glish girls are. speaking at large. as
bright and quick as American girls, but
nowhere is the difference so %perccptible
as in the beauty class.
A New York chorus girl Is not always
the most highly educated, nor yet the
most refined. OF her sex: but she Is al
ways a quick-witted young person, who
has a ready answer for everybody, and
Is uncommonly well able to take care Of
herself. The run Of English Gayety
girls. on the other hand, seem hardly
to possess human intelligence. BY
s%uperhuman patience, the ballet master
succeeds in teaching them to walk on
and of the stage. and to do a little
dance. but their superfiuous intelli-
gence Ia so limited that one can read

lures, this heaviness of wit.
CIssie Crawford has perhaps a
brighter face. although her big Eyes
look as II she might ask stupid ques-
tons on occasion.
Kate Adams, another one of the bot
auet Of beauties, has a hard. cold little
face, and her figure Is absolutely fault
less. and she dances like n whirlwind.
Rose bearing is another beauty who
owe more to her figure than her face.
and IA curious fact in this connection is
that the lines about her nose and
mouth indicate that she is well on the
wrong side Of thirty. while her limbs
and her bust display the fine, delicate
lines which afford an almost unmis-
