Before she met Atillio Morosini, son

Before she met Atillio Morosini, son
Of the millionaire banker, she had been
admired and feted, wooed and even re-
ported won. At one time it was said
she would marry Sir Thomas Upton.
Then a short time afterward 1t was
announced with equal certainty that
she would become the wife Of Ali Bey,
prince Of Egypt, and the brother Of
the Khedive, who had fallen desper-
ately In love with one Of her pictures.
With all the grace and beauty pre-
sented in her photographs. Mrs. Moro
sini Is in real life much more beautiful
than any Of them. She has what they
most lack-beauty Of coloring. She Is
more blonde than brunette. with soft
gray blue eyes, complexion like
rose-leaf and the most exquisite teeth
imaginable.
II should like to paint her." said
Richard Hall, II would first rummage,
with her permission, through her ward

might have. I would examine them
all for the make, the color, the fit. !
should probably select something sim
pie, possibly black. I should beg her
to wear no Jewels, and I should make
no effort whatever to make her appear
taller. She Is just right, naturally, for
her proportions.
1T would be difficult to decide how
to pose her to the best advantage, for
she is beautiful from almost every
point of view. This shows how very
we'll proportioned she really is."
Now the Venus de Medici. sample OF
all that is petite and graceful, is five
feet three inches tall, the head being
seven and half inches in length.
The width Of the shoulders is two
heads, the width of the hips one and
hree-quarter heads. The outstretched
arms, measured from tip to tip Of the
fingers, would be the same in length
as the total height Of the figure.
OF course Mrs. Morosini is much
larger than these measurements.
The proportions set down by Leo
nardo da Vinci, after he had measured
the old Greek statues as perfect, are
given here in table. They are inter-
esting to study. though every woman,
even with the aid of physical culture.
may not live up to them.
A woman should measure in height
five feet five inches.
Eight heads is the proper height
that is, the head measured from the
top of the forehead to the tip of the
chin.
From shoulder to shoulder she should
measure two of her heads.
Her waist should measure one and
half heads from hip to hip.
Her hips should be twice as broad as
the length Of her head.
Under the arms the bust measure
ment should be thirty-four inches; out
side the arms, forty-two inches.
Upper arm should be twelve inches
long; the forearm nine inches long

CARNEGIE'S CLOCK.

Wonderful in the World.

George P. Brooks, representative OF
a well-known firm of London jewelers.
and silversmiths, gives an interesting
description of a clock which he de-
clares Is the most wonderful clock In
the world, and which his firm recently
made for Andrew Carnegie.
THE clock is now in the large en-
trance hall Of Skibo Castle, Mr.. Car
negie's residence in Scotland" said Mr..
Brooks. There Is not another clock
like it in the world. 1t Is contained In
handsome solid silver frame three
feet wide and five feet long. 1t repre-
sents a MONDAY landscape. very clev-,
erly carried out. In the foreground
plum and cherry trees appear In bloom.
while in the rear a hill Is to be seen,
from which flows q pretty cascade, I'M
itated in crystal. From that cascade
flows a tiny stream, which wends Its
way between rocks and islands and n
nally loses itself in q stretch OF WOOD
land. In a miniature sky golden sun
turns on silver wire. striking the hour
on silver gongs as 1t passes. Each
hour is marked by a creeping tortoise
