The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-06-08


States. The impression was created
principally by the sight of Miss Dolan
and materially strengthened by that of
thousands of other pretty Milwaukee
women.
1t was perceived at the time of the
royal visit that Milwaukee loveliness
had filed him with great admiration,
for a banquet he displayed much feel
ing when he proposed the toast:
II drink the health of the fair sex
! of the city of Milwaukee,
His mind haunted by the memory
| of what seemed a sea of pretty wo-
mems faces which looked up at him
as he rode through the streets of Mil
waukee upon the afternoon of his visit
to that city. Prince Henry proposed
this toast to the 300 people who sat
with him at a banquet at the Hotel
Pfister in the evening of March 4.
Later, when it was learned that the
Prince had taken Admiral Evans into
! his confidence and expressed the same
| sentiment with considerably more en-
| thusiasm than he had displayed in pro-
posing the toast, many hearts began to
| fiutter. The curiosity of society was al
! last set at rest by the authoritative an
| nouncement that it was Miss Dolar
who inspired the Princes toast.
Miss Dolan is an accomplished young
woman, popular in society and officially
recognized as one of the most beauti-
| full girls in the city. She was chosen
| by a special committee as the queen
of the first carnival of Milwaukee, held
| four years ago. She was the subject
of a painting by Miss Jessie Schley
niece of the Admiral, entitled "Au-
! tumn." 1t is regarded by artists
throughout the country as one of the
most perfect representations of typical
American beauty.
Milwaukee claims superior natural
advantage as q producer of beauty.
There is something in the soft, mild,
CXhllarating climate of Wisconsin
which makes many women beautiful
and most of them comedy. 1t gives
them rich. warm. delicate complex
ion and beautiful appearance. There
were beauties among the distinguished
women who were presented to the
Prince at the Hotel Phster, and there
were still more among the fair I'M
known who started at him in wide
eyed wonder from the front row in the
Exposition hall where the public cere-
monies were held.
Prince Henry is not the first dis
tinguished foreigner to comment on the
beauty of Milwaukee girls. Strangers
are continually commenting upon the
number of fair women to be seen in the
city.
Wealth, comfort, a healthy and SEN
sible mode of life and a climate which
gives fine color and delicate complex
ions to regular features have contrib
uted to make Milwaukee girls what
they are. The mixture of the Ameri-
can and German races has been said
by some TO be a source of the beauty
of the girls, but this can hardly be, for
the most notable examples of beautiful
women are either of pure German
Of pure American stock.
Ugly persons have much to contend
with, says the New York Tribune, and
the people who by their sympathetic
personality overcome the physical han
dicap which. nature has given them are
greatly to be admired. = For such as
these, however, there are great COM
pensations, for the French have a
proverb which is quite true. l. e., that
a grande passion for a beautiful wo-
man may wane, but one for plain
woman will endure forever and an
other which says that the lover of an
ugly woman will never be inconstant.
But for those who have neither beauty
nor personal magnetism, the pathos of
| their uncomely countenances is most
| touching, especially when one reflects
! that beauty is only skin deep, after all,
| and that in many who are thus i'll IA
| Vored the soul and mind are worthy OF
| better covering. With children espe-
| cially, the distinction that is made be-
tween the little beauties and the plain
er ones is hard for the latter to bear

the lady's maid i'm Jane Eyre" Lit

blue eyes and sweet color! If Miss Jane
now, was a nice, pretty child, one

against the apparent injustice of Ma

A very curious experience is that re-
