miss ELWYN was preeminently OF
WI anintellectual makeup. IT'S true
there was a decided dash of emotion
alism running through her compost
ton, but the intellect was ever the con-
trolling force.
No mannishness about her, however,
none of those Objectionable up-to-date
"new-woman' ideas, which excite the
irascibiities of the most patient men,
4 sweet and charming woman IN
spite of her cleyerness was Miss FL
wyn, with hair like the ravens wing
face alive and yivacious, and beset
with a pair of bewitching dimpIes.
TO describe her in the glowing but
rather obscure phraseology of one OF
her admirers, learned editor OF
great daily, "there was an irresisti-
BILE potency to her personality, espe-
cialIy when she converted her dim
pies into catapults and fired barbed
arrows full and fair into the defense
less. She enmeshed the mind in the
warp and wool of THAT she was say
ing, while arousing the subconScionS-
ness with seductive voice, which
stole in and made captive the heart
without challenge from sentinel or
seneschal."
Another male victim to her many
charms said enthusiastically of her
conversational power: "There was a
favor and tang to it that raised IL
above hackneyed conyentionallsm.
and gave it autonomy, life and being"
For she always said just what she
really thought and felt,
II was but natural that woman so
gifted should elicit much admiration,
and, therefore, as the years slipped
by stealthily but quickly, people be-
gan to marvel that as yet Miss EIwyn
had not seen fit to attach some sutton
for life.
