Impressions of a BaItimOrean Who
Knows Miss Grant.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Mr.. George Savage of Baltimore, who
has known Miss Grant for some years,
says OF her:
II first met Miss Grant al Bar Harbor
She was then in her 18th year and had
made her debut the previous season in The
court circles of Vienna, her father, Gen
Frederick Dent Grant being at hat time
our minister 10 Austria-Hungary.
Miss Grant had the best advantages of
association, travel and education, and was
beyond her years. She was an accom-
plished linguisC.
She was much admired at Bar Harbor
and has ever been. But admiration and
prominence have not spoiled her She is
now in her 24lh year, having been born in
the White House June Z 1876
"In personal appearance she is decided
ly pretty and stylish. Her figure and car
riase are unusually graceful, and she
dresses with exquisite taste. She is Of the
brunette type and of medium hight. Her
eyes are dark blue and are very express
i've. She has a PRETTY shaped mouth. and
her tee, h are regular. Her hair is abund-
AM ana her complexion good.
"She looks more Sou hern than Northern
and | recall that when years ago in New
York / said TO her: Miss Julia, you look
so Southern to me She quickly said: Yes
and l am proud of it, My mother was
Southern born
Miss Gram at once impressas all who
meet her with her courtesy refinement
and intelligence. She is ever self-possess-
ed without being at all seif-asser. i've.
There is nothing of the new woman
about her; she is charmingly womanly Her
conversational gifts are unusuaf and she
compliments and pleases by unfailing at
tention and interest. She is an exception

viii under al circumstances do honor TO
