hours with her in conversation
Here's an impressionistic picture.
Imagine a graceful, willowy figure
splendadly proportioned, reclining
"legere" In club chair. She is
dressed in blue. Mrs. Won Schoene-
back Weber is always dressed in
blue; usually In tight-fittng tailor
made dress without the slightest trim
ming; the only ornament being q stffl
high white lace collar.
Imagine childishly naive face
small, oval, and clear skin. Over q
full rounded chin; imagine small
mouth Of perfect cut, lips not too full
and teeth small and cleaning like q
string of pearls. The nose is hard to
describe; it is perfectly Grecian, but
the nostrils seem smaller than any
have ever seen. The forehead Is low
and straight, the skin over It tightly
drawn, forehead like hewn marble

green. know this Is an impossible
ty. But cannot help 1t. The pupil
certainly seemed green.
The hands of Mrs. Won Schoene-
back-Weber are study by them
selves. They are very slender, with
very straight fingers and rather large
nails. But they are too large for
their owner, too athletic. All the
naivte, the childishness, the apparent
lack Of coquetery which so bewitches

site the moment one studies those
hands. They seem to betray trait
