PAINTED BEAUTY.
A good story is told of a young lady and gentleman at a fashionable paityiu Nashville, U.S. “The young man was handsomo and happy, the young lady arrayed in all the requisite taste of lavender, lose, &C. with gold-powdered hair flowing over her swan-like neck. Finding the heat of the room too much for them, they sought, the cool shade of an arbour where they might listen to to the fountain fall. The music rose and fell, time flaw on silver pinions, and after an absence of at least an hour our young friends reentered the brilliantly illuminated parlours. The lady passed on in the dance, but the young man was taken aback by bis next door neighbour informing him that round bis neck was the unmistakable print of two arms iu chalk rnd diamond dust, on one shouldei a laigc pile of yellow powder, and on Ins i his upper lip and cheek diamond dust, ; bloom of youth, yellow powder anb mixea with up generally. The lady’s hair mas observed to be several shades paler.”
