The author gives the following bcail-
tifnl pen portrait of the Dowager En-
press Of China, a typical representa-
of this famous dynasty. He says Of
her that although she s "a trifle un.
der the average height of European

and so graceful her carriage that she
seems to need nothing to add to her
majesty. Her features arc vivacious
and pleasing. rather than beautiful:
her complexion not yellow, 5ut
subolive, and her face illuminated BY
orbs Of jet. half-hidden by dark lashes.
Tho elegance Of her culture cxcites
sincere admiration in q country where

and is without parallel in her own
