SHY GIRLS.
MAIDS OF LLANGOLLEN. The girls of Llangollen, Wales, have beaten all records for shyness and modesty. For many hundreds of years the prettiest girl in the Vale of Llangollen has claimed the title of “The Fair Maid of Llangollen,” and if her claim was judged to be fair by the townspeople, and if there were none other prettier than she, then the title was hers until death. The famous and ancient title was held for more than half a century by Mrs Jane Edwards, who, in her youth, was famous for her beauty. But since her death at the age of 86, in May last, no one has come forward to claim the title. The mystery remains unsolved, but it is not because there are no pretty girls in Lllangollen.
