Who is the most beautiful woman in
America? This was the question re-
Gently propounded in connection with
the, preparation of Beauty Book
which was designed to sell at some
thing like twenty-five dollars per copy.
1t was intended to present in the ex-
pensive volume portraits of the hand

pal American cities but one member
of the fair sex was to be selected as
prominently the most beautiful crea-
ture in Miss Columbia's domain.
Naturally there was great rivalry for
the honor and the persons who sat In
judgment upon the photographs of
beautiful women which were submit

time to reach a decision. Finally, the
choice fell upon Mrs. Walter Farwell

Ing Visits TO Jacksonville, Savannah
and Richmond.
The first Sunday we spent in Eustis
we drove to Lake Oracle, just in the
rear of the hotel grounds, TO witness
the Baptist colorsd immersion. 1t was
a perfect June morning, with settings
of pure gold. 1t DID not seem possible
that it was windy March at home. The
orange groves reached down to the very
edge of the lake, which lay placed, like
a mirror. Several of the guests rowed
across from the hotel to witness the
ceremony. Presently the preacher, fol-
lowed by his candidates and flock, came
through the woods singing one of their
wild refrains. A few words from the
Good Book, a prayer, all kneeling, and
then an eXhOrtatiOn delivered with
much vigor. The baptism was quietly
performed with the exception of the
case of one of the sister candidates
who felt so happy that two men were
obliged to carry her out of the water.
In the evening we all drove to Egypt,
the colored settlement, and | never in
my life attended such a service. 1t was
the first Sunday in March, which is
a high day in the church-"The Prim-
ative Baptist" The church building
is little wooden structure with bare
benches along each side and a rough
table in front of a box Of a pulpit.
When we entered, a prayer meeting
was being held. AS many of the native
congregation cannot read, the hymns
are lined, two lines at a time-and
such strange music | never heard.
They don't seem to sing the words; it
is just a loud monotonous refrain, and
was perfectly deafening in that small
building. The prayers were mostly
calculations to the Lord, accompanied
with clapping of hands and loud eX-
pressions frcE all the brothers and
sisters. The sermon was the most
rambling discourse imaginable, begin
ming with Genesis and ending in Reve-
lations, accompanied with vigorous pan
tomine of face, arms and legs. Then
the darllies screamed and yelled at the
top of their voices and during all Of
which one of the sisters got happy"
and surged over into another seat,
screaming and jumping up and down.
Several buxom sisters held her until
she became quiet. Then the collec-
ton was taken up, each one going up
to the table and laying his money on

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, "Yes, He Is
risen." The people then embrace, give
each other eggs, and drink a great
deal. They present a 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.

Washing Their Feet.

Then came the foot washing" Two
ten-cent basins were placed on the
table; the men and women took of
their shoes and stockings; the preacher
washed the first elders feet, wiping
them with the towel which was girdled
around his waist; then passed the basin
and towel to the elder. who washed
the next ones feet, and so on until
all were done. Aunt Savannah then
began a like ceremony on the sisters
side of the church; and all the time
the dreadful singing, shouting, clap
ping of hands, stamping of washed and
unwashed feet continued in a deafen-
ing racket. Finally the table was TAX

Oriental Egg Gamblers.

Hyde in his description of Oriental
sports, tells of one with eggs among
the Christians of Mesopotamia on
Easter Day, and forty days afterward;
"The sport consists in striking their
eggs one against another, and the egg
that first breaks is won by the owner
of the one that struck it. Immediate
ly another egg is pitted against the
winning egg, and so on till the last egg
wins all the others, which their re-
spective owners shall before have

Mrs. Farwen 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. FarwelIs likenesses do her justice
She is a tall, surprisingly graceful wo-
man of the type so often referred 10
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-
fcance 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-
tod.
Some time after the death Of Ste
phen A. Douglass his widow married
Cen. Williams of the United States

in Washington but Gen. Williams who

Started with $40 Capital.

Young FarweN is the son of ex-Sen-
ator Farwell who started in life as a
poor boy at Painted Post, New York,
later removing to Illinois and eventu.
ally going to Chicago on load of
wheat with but $40 in his pocket.
He secured employment in the coun-
ty clerks office; later became teller of
a bank and finally established with his
brother the great dry goods business
which to this day causes the name Of
Farwell to be we'll known in mercan-
tile circles. In 1887 the Farwell broth
.ers built the Texas State Capitol re-
ceiving in payment therefor more than
100000 acres of land. Much of this
land they sold but considerable hold
ings of it went to form a gigantic
ranch which was stocked with 10000
cattle and helped materially to swell
the Farwell fortune.

ters married men we'll known to the
