very few ladies indeed who could main
tain their equilibrium under the heat
generated by a consciousness of this
fact. However we'll VerSed in Delsar-
tan principles and Beau Brummel eti-
quette, the majority of ladies under
similar circumstances, even if they did
not collapse totally, would inevitably
betray their embarrassment either in
looks, walk or gesture, and thus mar
the effect of a beautiful picture. But
our heroine, with stately, unufaltering
step, with bright and steady eye, and
unruff1ed countenance, glided grace
fully along the avenue prepared for
herself and escort. There was no sign
or symptom Of girlish frivolity, neither
of the cold, forbidding. expression of
the old maid, but a quiet, composed,
pleasant yet dignified department,
which evoked the almost unanimous
verdict: She was every inch a queen.
No one will deny (who is qualified
10 judge that Salt Lake has ample
material to draw from when beauty
is a perquisite to the candidate for
official honors, but beauty alone, nor
even education alone, would not make
the ideal queen. 1t needs dignity and
grace, and these are never founud
where there is an undue absence of
self-esteem. The lady has a strong mo-
tlve-yital temperament, hence will be
more thorough than brilliant, and more
persevering than rapid. 1t will require
some extraordinary occurrence to get
her excited. She has control of herself
and is well suited to control others.
She is even-tempered. pleasant and So
cable, is not one who looks for faults
and then takes pleasure in brooding
over them. Her husband will not be
worried with complaints, and if any
thing goes wrong she is more likely to
laugh than to cry about it.
She takes rosy view of life, and
though her large caution will often
make her Thoughtful and anxious, yet
she has abundant faith and believes
that good will come out of apparent
misfortune. If there is any chance
whatever. she will look on the bright
side. She is very spiritually-minded
and veneratiVe: has q sincere reverence
for sacred things. and will value her
religious convictions far above any con-
Sideration of wealth. 1t is as natural
for her to worship as it is to breathe
and would as soon quit one as the
other. It is easy for her to grasp re-
ligious truths and scriptural argument
There IS nothing in the Bible that is
difficult for her to believe and accept
Her spirituality is so pronounced that
she can understand intuitivelv much
more than she could explain, and even
When hope has forsaken her she will
have faith TO the last. Money with her
is but an incidental consideration
There is little of the misery instinct
and scarcely enough love for money to
make her careful. She will be free and
liberal in spending, and is lacking in
both the ability and desire to AccunTu-
late property simply to become rich.
Her ambition does not run in this di-
rection, and though she can fully APP
preciate the convenience of bank ac-
count, vet she does not covet wealth
nor envy those who possess it. She is
exceedingly tenacious in her affections.
VIII be slow to form attachments and
slow TO break them. She does not be-
long to the gushing class, and her love
will be manifested in deeds and by acts
of fidelity, rather than a supernatural
ance of words. She has enough firm
ness TO give her ample stability of
character and is not one to be forced
against her will. If she says mo- to a
proposition, it will be uttered in such
a quiet, calm and apparently indiffer-
ent manner that one would suppose her
decision could easily be changed, but
upon making the trial would be sur
prised to find how much determination
there was behind that one word. She
is lacking in distinctiveness, hence will
never bark unless she is prepared to
bite if necessary. She Is fon6 of action
and physical exercise; viii be a good
worker. but does not think she was
born for this purpose alone. The mo-
tive temperament likes work, and
those of the vital temperament
love their ease, hence she will
alternate between the two: but
she is well stocked with good,
practical sense, has excellent reasoning
powers. and a very strong memory.
Her ideality and sublimity are only
