DAVIS’ DAUGHTER.

She I* the Ideal Realization ot Southern Maidenhood. Miss “Winnie” Davis possesses rot only the ability to make a profession of her artistic powers, but has developed also her literary powers to a practical extent, writes Alice Graham McCollin in a sketch of the daughter

of Jefferson Davis in the Ladies’ Home Journal. She has of late months written extensively for the current periodicals and reviews of this country, an d is always a welcome contributor. She

sings delightfully, playing her own accompaniments with charming simplicity. In appearance Miss Davis is even prettier than her portrait makes her. Tall, slender, fair-haired, with gray eyes of peculiar beauty, she is the ideal realization of Southern maidenhood. She has a sweet Southern voice and a manner which evidences the gentle, courteous heart beneath. Her mother bears tribute to her as “the best and dearest of daughters!" Her father when on his deathbed said that she had never disobeyed or given him pain, and without an exception every one who comes at all under her gentle refinement feels her to be a woman with “Heart on her lips, and soul within her eyes, Soft as her clime, and sunny as her skies.”
