standpoint because her peculiar type OF
beauty does not happen to comply with the
exigencies Of the time.
Look about for these lost types-you can
find them all. That girl who is quite ugly
in shirt waist, pompadour and scorn-
full demeanor, would be quaint and charm
ing enough In the close Golf and demure
expression with which Holbein would have
painted her. That maiden with the large,
confiding eyes and tiny, rosebud mouth is
so insignificant that you hardly notice her,
but sixty years ago she would have been a
veritable fairy in flowing ringlets.
That lady who merely has refined and
aristocratio look in modern attire would

character Of the time, which was most
particularly expressed in the Sleepy eye

this description Of Mrs. Hyde:
she was of middle size, had a skin OF
dazzling wilderness, fine hands and foot
surprisingly beautiful even In England.
Long custom had given such languishing
tenderness to her looks that she never
opened her eyes but like Chinese, and
when she ogled one would have thought
she was doing something else"
The delicate, exquisite stateliness of tho
fine ladies of Gainsborough, Reynolds and
the other eighteenth century painters is
perfectly expressed in the following pen
