OF the fair sex was to be selected as

Naturally there was great rivalry for
the honor and the perse rs who sat in
judgment upon the photographs Of
beautiful women which were submit

choice fell upon Mrs. Walter Farwell

orange groves reached down to the very
edge of the lake. which lay placed, like

across from the hotel to witness the
ceremony. Presently the preacher, fol-

through the woods singing one OF their
wild refrains. A few words from the

then an exhortation delivered with

The Russian Easter.

Easter Day is set apart for visiting
in Russia The men go to each others
houses in the morning and introduce
themselves by saying, Jesus Christ is
risen.' The answer is, Eyes, He Is
risen" The people then embrace, give
each other eggs, and drink a great
deal. They present colored red egg
to the priest of the parish on Easter
morning. The common people carry
one of these red eggs in their hands
upon Easter Day, and three or four
days after. They use it in token OF
the Resurrection, whereof they rejoice.

MRS. WALTER FARWELL.

Q picture and the award was made to
Mrs. FarweR as the possessor OF the
greatest degree of perfection in every
attribute Of womanly beauty.
For the benefit of any person who
might be disposed to find fault with
the decision of the committee it may
be said in simple truth that none OF
Mrs. Farwells likenesses do her justice
She Is a tall, surprisingly graceful wo-
man of the type so often referred to
as the Gibson girl" with slender but
perfect figure; a marvelously clear
complexion; hair that is tinged with
gold; and very animated manner.
She has been famous ever since she
first entered society for being one OF
the best, or rather one of the most ar
tistically gowned women in the public
eye.
Mother Was a Famous Beauty.
Mrs. Farwell comes by her beauty
as a rightful heritage from her mother
who was the most famous beauty of
her day. Before her marriage Mrs.
Farwell was Miss Mildred Williams.
Perhaps this name does not suggest
aught unusual to the older generation
of our readers but the hidden signi-
ficance will be disclosed when it is ex-
planned that Mrs. Williams, the mother
Of this stately beauty of the present
day was in earlier years Mrs. Stephen
A. Douglass. wife of one of the fore
most men of his day and herself fam
Gus as the greatest beauty Of the per.

Some time after the death Of Ste
phen A. Douglass his widow married
Gen. Williams of the United States
Army. For a time the couple lived
in Washington but Gen. Williams who
was man of some note became SO
incensed at hearing himself referred
to only as the husband of the former
Mrs. Stephen A. Douglass that he Sc
