A SAN FEANCISCO BEAUTY.
And now comes the news on the wires that one of “ our girls” has gone and eclipsed all the professional loveliness so long starring it in London city. Miss Minnie Thornberg is 23 years o' age, six feet three inches in her stocking feet—rather tall, but then there is no accounting for taste, so when young Lord Cropper saw her he fell in love with and married her seven years ago. Yet never till now has she stung the phlegmatic English (who are always so slow) with the force of her beauty, and she fell upon their vision like a dream, in a flowing white cashmere robe, a straw bonnet trimmed with roses, red white, and yellow; with one glove off and the other glove on, the one on being clasped with a ruby serpent studded with sapphires and diamonds. Of course, this town is quite proud of their “ beauty,” and it is a little singular that Yankee lasses are taking the palm all over Europe, England and indeed everywhere. Well, they are lovely till —they open their mouths. “ Silver Pen” in the “ Auckland Herald”
