'Ehe Counteaa Von Bothmur, in fVtw«r r * J%«sin«, say.* :— *' Cterman girts are often olmruiingfy pratty, witil dazzling «.»ninluxion, abundant, beautiful hanr, and dear, lovely eyes, bat the splendid matron, tllu sound, healthy, well-developed woman, who lias lost no grain of beauty audi gained ncertara magnificent maturity, such, as we sub daily with daughters who migut well ! 1U her youngtjr staters—of such women tllu Fatherland has few specimens to show. I'ila "pale, unripened beauties of the Norths" dt> not ripeft : they facte. " The ityltj is the man," say* Burton ; and what ityte is to literature, taste to dress, and Nllneiuent to maimers*, distinction is to boautyr. Tuere must be a certain tine, tortain proportion, a healthy development, k harmony, grate and strength, betore we M acknowledge that a greater than the mere passing prettiness of youth, freshBwa and good toofcs is there.
