THE CHINESE EMPRESS AT CLOSE
RANGE

The Chinese Empress is a trife under
the average height of European ladies,
yet so perfect are her proportions and so
graceful her carriage that she seems to
need nothing to add to her majesty. Her
features are vivacious and pleasing rather
than beautiful. Her complexion is not
yellow, but sub-olve; and her face is
Illuminated by orbs of jet half-hidden by
dark lashes. behind which Turk the smile
of favor or the lightning of her anger
No one would take her to be more than 40
She carries a tablet on which, even dur
Ing n conversation, she jots memoranda
Her pencil is the support OF her sceptre.
With It she sends out her autograph COM
mands, and with it she inscribes those
pictured characters which are worn as the
have seen them in gold frames In the hall
of a vcerOy.
The elegance of her culture excites sin
cere admiration In a country where wo-
men are illiterate and the breadth OF nor
understanding is such as to take in the
details OF government. She chooses her
agents with wise judgment and shifts
them from pillar TO post so that they may
Aot forget their dependence on her will
Without parallel in her own country,
she is sometimes compared with Catharine
II Of Russia. She has the advantage in
the decency of her private life-Dr. w.
