The Most Beautiful Girl in Russia.

The ni(»st lieautiful girl in St. Petersburg Society is the only daughter of the Vice-Admiral Makaroff. who per ishc<] on board thr Petropavlovsk. Miss MakarotV. who is only twenty years of age. is tall and slight, with a wealth of soft, brown hair, dark eyes, and a rich complexion, she is an admirable English scholar, and has a preference for everything English. The erroneous report that crept into circulation that her lover as well as her father had perished on the Petropavlovsk resulted in Miss MakarofT receiving innumerable pro|H»sals of marriage from all over the world, one being front a young American mil lionaire. who. in the exuberance of his compassion, laid both his heart and his fortune at the feet of the beautiful young Russian. Miss MakarofT’s fiance, Lieut. KedrofT. is still in China. Iln 1(41 for the East at the very outbreak of hostilities as aide de camp to Admiral Makarotr. and was the only member of bis staff who esca|M*d being drowned on board the Petropavlovsk. It appears that a few minutes before the Russian fleet set out in pursuit of the Japanese on that memorable morning, just twelve months ago. the Commander in-Chief sent tin* young lieutenant ashore to telegraph a message to Mine. Makaroff at Peterhoff. When Lieut. IxedrofT returned after performing his commission all that was left of the great battleship was a few lloating spars.
