K Famous Beauty.

The princess of Pless, the beautiful daughter of Colonel and Mrs. Cornwallis West, and a sister of the duchess of Westminster, Is counted among the beauties of international fame. No sooner had she been presented at court than Prince Henry of Pless, whose family is among the oldest and most aristocratic of the' Prussian nobility, claimed her as his bride, and their, marriage was one of the events of 1891. Tall and dazzlingly fair, the princess was popularly accounted the loveliest girl seen in English society since the days of the Gunnings, and her appearance in public was rendered somewhat embarrassing owing to the openly expressed admiration of the crowd. Like her mother and sister, the princess is a gifted singer, and she appeared more than once as actor and dancer at the dramatic entertainments arranged during the yearly visits of the late King and Queen Alexandra to Chatsworth. Her jewels are chiefly pearls, and she owns a wondrous rope of these, seven yards long, and said to be one of the most beautiful necklaces in Europe.
