The Princess or Wales.

Here is a portrait of the Princess of Wales painted by an American girl, who saw her at the theater: “She is rather tall, and very sweet-looking, but, oh, most awfully thin. She has lovely blue eyes, with a shine In them like a baby's, but I was disappointed a bit, for I thought she had golden hair. To be candid, her hair is of quite a mahogany tint, but it was charmingly coiffured, and showed off her diamonds beautifully. She wore a deep collarette around her neck, and had a glistening white satin gown on. She looked very young and girlish, but I think she has the saddest face. I’ve ever seen. She listened very attentively to the music, and when she smiled you felt as though you wanted to have a good rousing cry. I don't wonder one bit that every one in Britain loves her so devotedly, for they simply can’t help it.”
