THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN RUSSIA.

Talking of the Russian Court (writes M.A.P.), the most beautiful girl in St, Petersburg society i s the only daughte: of the late Vice-Admiral Makaroff, who perished on board the Petropav lovsk. Miss Makaroff, who is only twenty years of age, is tall and slight, with a wealth of soft brown hair, dark eyes, and a rich complexion. She is an admirable English scholar, and has a preference for everything English ' The erronous report that crept, intoi circulation that her lover as well as her father had perished on the Petropavlovsk resulted in Miss Makaroff receiving.innumerable proposals of marriage from ail over ihe world, one being a young American million tire, who, in the exuberance of his compassion, laid both his heart and his fortune at the feet of the beautiful young Russian. Miss Mafearoff’s fiance, Lieut* Kedroff is still in China. He left for the East at the very outbreak of hostilities as aide-de-camp to Admiral Makaroff, and was the only member of his staff who escaped being drowned on board Petropavlovsk. It appears that a few minutes before the 11 Russian fleet set

out in pursuit of the Japanese on that .memorable morning, just twelve l imonths ago, the Commander in-Chief sent the young lieutenant ashore to Telegrapha message to Mme, Makaroff at Peterhoff. When Lieut. Kedroff returned after performing his commission all that was left of the great -battleship was a few floating spars.
