The East, West and North have many beau

what is known as bellies" Fer generations
this term has been universally used through
out the Southern and middle Southern states.
1t is as distinctly a localism as the Southern
manner OF pronunciation; and it is applied
only to women that come from that section
of the country. AS a usual thing, Southern
women are apparently less conscious of their
attractiveness than their sisters of the North,
which adds much to their graciousness of
manner. Their training is different. Early
in life the charms of a Southern girl are
make known to her by her parents, and she
accepts them as a rich Inheritance, quite as
she does the color of her eyes or hair as
matter OF course. In consequence she Is nat

is prominent in history and in society. They
are descendants of such well known fami-
lies as the Carys, Byrds and Carriers. Her
father, Col. Julian Harrison, of Elk Hill, on
the James, was thought by many to be the
handsomest officer in the Confederate army,
and her mother was a celebrated Kentucky
belle. Miss Harrison is athletic, and it is
said that she possesses the spirit of an
amazon, and she rides after the hounds
across the red hills of Albemarle, where the
scenes of SO many of Amelie Rives' stories
are laid. Miss Harrison spends a part of
each winter In New York, where she is a
great favorite. The portrait reproduced of
Miss Harrison was taken from Munsey's Mag
