| genteel department, pronounced them the
acme of true chivalric southern manhood,
and won for them hosts of steadfast and
life time friends. OF that charming lady,
Mrs. Ewing, word-"Bel esprit, BeauX

and accomplishments, an adept in social
usages and etiquette, most perfect wife
and Entertaining hostess, combined with
that tact of banishing all restraint from a
social gathering, with which but few are
blessed) We're some of the personalities
with which this charming lady was ell
dowed, and which are so truly character
istic of the typical southern gentlewoman.
