MARGUERITE, THE YOUNG QUEEN.
She is the only royal person who sees her friends in the street. She has one of the most winning and sympathetic of faces. She is a blonde, has large blue eyes, a lovely mouth, and, without the aid of art, has a f. fair, fresh complexion. She is not at all an insipid blonde ; she has character in her face, tempered with a gentle and lively expression. The Italians call her "La Gentilezza Italiana." She is 30, perhaps a little over, but does not look over 25. Royalty does not seem to weigh very heavy on her mind, and she seems to have changed the traditional, stately, queenly air of bygone queens for tbe happy, cordial, affable ook of a happy and beautiful woman, securely reposing in the love of her subjects. She has an unpretending way of going out shopping in an entirely unroyal way, and. ■; one of the pleasures of the American m JRome is to find herself shopping besides the ""V charming Princess, who is often unknown even to tho shopkeeper. She is noted in the street for the plainness of her attire. Her favourite jewellery is the marguerite, fashioned in the exquisite taste of Florcntin-Q handicraft.—Philadelphia Times.
