power had this woman over old and

she did?

had occasion to spend several
hours with her in conversation
Here's an impressionistic picture.
Imagine a graceful. willowy figure,
splendidly proportional reclining
"legere'' in a club chair. She is
dressed in blue. Mrs. Won SchOene-
backWeber is always dressed IN blue;
usually in a tight-fitting tailor-made
dress without tho slightest trimming,
the only ornament being a stiff high
white lace collar.
Imagine a chiidishly naive face;
small. oval and clear skin over a
| full rounded chin, imagine a small
mouth Of perfect cut, lips, not too full
and teeth small and cleaning like
string OF pearls. The nose is hard to
describe: II is perfectly Grecian. but
the nostrils seem smaller than any
have ever seen. The forehead is low
ard straight; the skin over it tight
/ " drawn, a forehead like hewn mar
Bile.
Cannot Describe Her Eyes.
The ears are small. the hair wavy,
/ OF a goiden-red-b rown-coppery color
done up stylishly in curls And then
| there are the eyes-I doubt II they
can be described by pen or painted by
| brush. 1 have tried hard to determine
their color; have failed every time.
They are large, surrounded by heavy
brown eyelashes. They flash. they
fascinate. they must assuredly hypno-
tise. One looks into them-not At
them. but into them-and cannot turn
their own eyes in another direction.
one looks into them and does not
hear what their owner speaks, has

1 have tried again and again TO de-
termine their color: 1 failed dismally
every time. They seemed ocean green
one time and grass green another, and
the center, the pupil also seemed
green. 1 know this is an impossible
ity. But I cannot help it The pupil
certainly seemed green.
The hands Of Mrs. Won Schoneback-
Weber are a study by themselves

straight fingers and rather large nails
But they are too large for their own
