A MYSTERIOUS BEAUTY.
Much anxiety, says the Home News, is felt in fashionable circles to learn the intentions of a mysterious young beauty who appeared for the first time at Goodwood. Her beauty attracted so much notice at the race that her escort became embarrassed and withdrew with her to the carriage in which they had arrived. The lady is a yery dark brunette; some people declare that the exalted Spanish blood gives the olive tinge to her cheek and the graceful languor to her figure, which were both so much admired. That her attire was, however, fresh from the hands o£ Worth was evident to every female connoisseur on the ground. It was a dress made sacque fashion, the material a rich satin of Spanish brown, lined with orange-colored silk. A belt of shining gold, studded with jewels, encircled the waist, and the parasol carried by the lady was composed entirely of natural flowers. " Who is she ? " was the whispered question bandied from one to the other amongst the company, and even from the Royal stand was it uttered without meeting a satisfactory reply. Long before the race was concluded and the company dispersed, the lady had departed with her escort, leaving the inquirers as much in the dark as to her identity as ever.
