THE PRETTIEST WOMAN IN PARIS.

The prettiest woman in Paris has returned to Paris. Anybody who has ever i seen the fair and . famous. Mm. Bernadaki, the celebrated Russian beauty, will know at once whom I mean without any further description. I saw her in her box at the opera the other, night, looking the very type of perfect, if soulless, loveliness. In feature slie resembles greatly the portraits of Mnu Recamior. The eyes are of a deep, lovely blue, the nose aquiline, the mouth small and shaped like Cupid’s how. The exquisitely shaped head is set to perfection - on the white, rounded throat, and the shoulders in mould upd in, cplouring would put to

shame the most artistic form that ever was sculptured in .marble. If her face were only expressive, it would be divine. In her suberp toilet of white satin the other night she was simply dazzling. She doesnot altogether understand how to set off her marvellous beauty. She breaks the linos of her exquisite form; by wearing great masses of flowers on her corsage, and she mars the outline of her .stately head by similar additions toiler coiffure. It is said that she will be next season one of the queens of Parisian society. Some incnmbermenfs which had weighed on her husband’s estate will be removed, and he will come into' possession of vast wealth, which, joined to his wife’s personal charms, will fully suffice to secure the position of the pair in the beau monde. I hope that some one of the great portrait painters of the day will, during the coming season, immortalize on canvas the face and form of this flesh-and-blood Venus.—Paris Correspondent of Boston Transcript.
