DUKE OF YORK’S FIANCEE

. A friend of Lady Elizabeth BottsI Lyon lias contributed to “The Times” ! an interesting; character sketch of the : bride-to-be:— I “Jjady Elisabeth Bowcs-Lyori is one I of the most charming characters I have ever met,” writes this friend. “Everyone who knows her well feels that she is eminently suited to the position she will he called on to fill. “Her life has been an, extremely happy one, although she. suffered thu loss of a. much-loved brother in the war. She has been brought up on good old Scottish lines, in the midst of an exceptionally devoted and united family “In appearance she is petite, with a neat figure. Her dark hair is worn parted in the middle, and with a fringe on the forehead. Her deep Vduo eyes arc thickly fringed with blade lashes. Her complexion is beautiful. She is possessed of “that most excellent thing,” a low-toned, charming-speaking voice. She has little that is modern in appearance, and yet she is always charmingly dressed, with a touch of the pic- j

turosquo and of her own individuality in her clothes. But what stands out more vividly than these brnut.iesof feature and colouring, is her particularly happy, even radiant expression. Jt speaks of what all her friends know 1 her to ’bo possessed of—an iinse.llish nature, simple and atfeetionate: a mind and character ineapahle. of unkindness of thought or action; a. complete, lack of affectation or pose-; a candid sincerity and an ingrained gentleness.'’
