CorneGa Bakers Beauty Is
the Gay Capitals Talk.

At the Grand Prix She Created
a Furore.

A special to the Chicago American from
Paris saws:
Another American beauty has conquered
Europe.
She is Miss Cornelia Baxter of Denver,

Miss Baxter is a blonde-"a daughter
of the gods, divinely,tall and most divinely
fair"
! All Paris saw her, realized that she was
4 young goddess and worshipped her.
1t was at the Grand Prix at ChantilIy
that Miss Baxter received her apotheosis.
This is the great race of the year in
France. All the rich, fashionable and
! aristocratic people of France and a great
part Of Europe attend it. 1t is the French
equivalent Of the Derby.
Miss Baxter appeared at the races with
party chaperoned by Mrs. James j.
Brown of Denver, and including Miss
Leila Routt, another young beauty from
| the same city. The admiration excited by
Mrs. Browns bay horses was also very
great.
Miss Baxter wore a simple but perfect
dress of blue, with white spots, and
large white hat with ostrich feathers on
it. Her youthful beauty and grace were
well set off by the finest products of the
most famous couturieres and modistes in
Paris.
Among the gathering at the race track
were grand dukes and grand duchesses
from Russia. archdukes and archduch-
esses from Austria, dukes and duchesses
from England, and princes and noblemen
from every country in Europe. The pres
ident of the republic and lot of other
officials were also there, but they do not
cut much Of a figure on such gay occa-
sions.
1t is not usual for a gathering of this
kind to indulge in a demonstration when
a young woman of remarkable beauty ap-
pears. Under some circumstances it would
not be polite. But beauty may be so rare
and striking that instantaneous homage
to it is inevitable and conventionalities
are laid aside. Such was the beauty of
Miss Baxter.

"Ah! la belle Americainer
Miss Baxter is assured of a triumph
ant career in European society She is
one of those young beauties who emerge
from time to time from the far west re-
gions of the New World, and absolutely
enslave the high society of the Old
World.
Miss Baxter would attract attention
anywhere. When she is in Denver every
one admires her.
