A GREAT PICTURE.
LONDON'S LOVELIEST LADY.
Her hair is jet and her shoulders as white as summer cloud. Her hands and feet are tiny, her waist slim, and the prettiest pout twinkles on her dainty lips. She is tall, and her hair is long, and she looks about twenty-eight or twentynine. . , She lives in a magnificent mansion, and every day she holds salon. Prince and peasant visit her daily and lay their adoration at her feet. " Exquisite !" "Adorable!" And to each one she smiles enigmatically, listless, unmoved. Her beauty may not be found in London town. The bought chic of modern maidens appears frowsy and drab when they approach her. She is so lovely and so famous that two attendants guard her from unmannerly approach. She has just returned to London after a lengthy stay on the Continent, where she became one of the most famous beauties in France. Thousands have offered love to her, but the white wonder of her chastity is the memory of many countries. Only one man, a Frenchman named Gerard, could lay claim to any intimacy. For he happened to paint Recamier, now on view at Burlington House.
