The Green Forest tribune., 1908-09-11

l-- other tnlS important IuSs- ton every day Who is 10 be the fairy prince who is going to carry off the prize of the 1908 season, beautiful Miss Margaretta DreXel, only dauSh- ter of Anthony J. Drexel. Jr., of New York, Philadelphia and London. To-day Miss Drexel. clever. viva vious. rich, is regarded as the star catch of London society. She Is called the best-looking girl in London and since the marriage of Miss Jean Reid, her chum, daughter of the American ambassador, Whitelaw Reid, she takes precedence among all the American girls now in the British capital.
 It may be added right here that her grandfather. the late Anthony J. Drexel, Sr., the Philadelphia banker, left an estate of $30.000,0 900. Fifteen years after his death it has much en- hanced. Miss Drexel stands to divide it with her two brothers.
 Her father, Anthony J. Drcxel. Jr., inherited the bulk of the great for tune. Since then he has made his per | manent residence abroad. He and Mrs. DreXel, together with their daughter. Miss AIargaretta. occasion ally run over to this country. They were here last winter. coming over in the Mauretania.
 But to Miss Drexel--the envy of every other London girl to-day.
 Hers Is the beauty of he exquisite patrician type. She has great limpid eyes of gray-blue, with long curling | lashes and a complexion of ivory white, inst touched with the roses of , youth Two little dimples make their homes in her cheeks and there is a tiny red mouth like Cupid'S bow. She has the broad, low brow that artists delight in, all crowned with a mass of wavy chestnut hair She is tall and l slender; her perfect figure makes her the admiration of everybody wherever she goes.
 Miss Drexel is not of the butterfly | type. She is devoted to music; she plays the cello with distinct feeling. She sings with admirable technique and poise-she shows a voice that has been wondrously trained, though 1t has only the strength for the drawing | room. Perhaps she is at her best in her own home accompanying herself l on her guitar, which she plays with all | the feryor and grace of the Spaniard. 1 More than this--the DreXels have always been devoted to the church. It was whispered when Miss DreXel was getting ready to leave the con- vent where she spent 80 many years that she would eventually take the veil. However, her parents prevailed upon her to leave this for later years they insisted upon her seeing some thing of life before leaving it forever | And now-so it is said-MiSs DreXel ! has decided that she will not forsake i the world forever, but devote herself to doing her charities where she is 1 better fitted to bestow them.
 Mrs. Drexel, who was Miss Margar- l ita Armstrong of Philadelphia, herself | a beautiful matron, appreciates clothes and spends fortune annually upon | her raiment and as much more upon her daughters.
 "She would look lovely in anything. " 1 laughs London, but when she comes | out in something from Worth or Dou- cet or Paquin, it is little wonder that | she creates a sensation.
 During the London season which 1 has now ended Miss Drcyel has been | the admiration of all London society. Few girls in the smartest set have
