LADY CURzoM.

The editor of the Bengal newspaper,
, and has penned an article on her lady
ship thus:
Our viceroy is an accomplished gen.
tleman, and no less accomplished is his
lady. Marriage is a divine dispensa-
ton, beyond human control, and seldom
are husband and wife so well matched
as have been matched Lord and Lady
CurZon.
Lady Curzon has inherited all the
virtues of her father. The father is a
man of iron resolution. He possesses
unfailing perseverance, and never gives
! up the pursuit upon which he has set
his heart. The daughter resembles the
father in this respect. She, too, pos
sesses unshakable resolution, and has
of her purpose. Womanly fickleness
can never disturb her heart. The faith
er is far-sighted, and can, from study
of the present, infer what the future
will be. The daughter has inherited
this rare gift from her father. The
daughter, like the father. can also keep
her head cool in the midst of trying
difficulties.
Through the grace of God, Lady
rich. wise and accomplished father.
She has come to the world endowed
with keen intelligence.
with her rare intellectual gifts she
combines in herself rare personal
charms. In her, virtue and beauty
have been splendidly blended, and, fig
uratively speaking, she is like a dia-
mond set in gold, or the full moon in
the clear autumnal sky. 1t is very
rarely that we find beauty so welded
to virtue AS a general rule, where We
find beauty We do not find virtue, and
where we find virtue we do not find
beauty. Nothing but singular good
luck endows a person with both virtue
and beauty, and it must be woman's
rare good fortune if she happens to
rival Rati (wife of the god of love- in
beauty, and Saraswati goddess of
learning) in intelligence. But Lady
CurZon is something more than this
She rivals Rati in beauty, Saraswati in
intelligence, and Lakshmi goddess of
wealthy in the profuseness of her
worldly possessions-she is the gifted,
a millionaire. In beauty she closely
approaches the poets ideal:
. There in the fame, a beauteous crea-
ture stands,
The first best work of the Creators
hand:
Whose teeth like pearls, whose lips
like Bimbas show.
Allu ldWH-uhe eyes sui lreDlDle as
they glow
(Wilson's translation of "Meghduta.")
Her color is like that of molten gold,
its whiteness having already assumed
tinse of red in the warm climate of
this country. Her teeth are like a set
of pearls. Her waist is beautifully
slender. Her raven tresses, setting off
the whiteness of her white complexion,
make her look the very image of Sar-
a oil CHI sol.
its black hair is beautifully placed
upon her swan-like neck. Her eyes are
not dark, neither are they tinged with
red Their color is rather handsomely
purple Ever restless as they are they
are beaming with intelligence. Lady
Curzon bears in her handsome person
all the suspicious marks of prosperity
Her forehead is small and narrow. Her
neck is like the neck of a swan, and
her voice resembles the voice of the
cuckoo. AS we have already said, her
eyes sparkle with intelligence-her |
eyes, which are silently eloquent. At
first sight, her face looks like the face
of proud woman. But look at it !
closely and you will find it not pride. |
but self-reliance. Lady Curzon wants |
to lead, and not be led; she wants to |
rule, and not be ruled In childhood !,
she was the leader of girls like herself |
In youth she has been the leader of |
young women. Now she is the leader |
of millions of men and women. Lady |
Curzon knows how to rule.
In fact, she seems to have been born |
and bred to rule-as if nature has en- |
dowed her with rare and noble virtues |
advisedly. with the object of making |
her the consort of Indias governor |
general. Lady Curzon rules not only |
the society of women, but also the So |
ciety of men. To see her is to respect |
and revere her
