A PRETTY WOMAN,

Who shall say, asks a writer in the San Francisco Chronicle, what purely physical attri butes make up a pretty woman? Somany of the sex posses ing such varied and opposite charms have been accepted as coming up to the standard of perfection, that after all, prettiness must be considered as a matter that depents upon national ideas, the fleeting fashion of the day and our individual likes.

Eve was presumably a pretty woman, but if the Rabbinical legends are to be credited, our first mother was gas feet high, and we of to-day migh: as well fall to admiring the contour of Telegraph kill as to accept her as our model of cometi ness.

ST. LOUIS, June 13th. Nine thousand people assembled in the north nave of the exposition building to-night to listen to the welcoming concert given by the people of St. Louis' to the musical societies from all parts of the country.

The chorus of 1700 voices, about 1002 women, presented a most striking spectacle. The concert opened with the oventure to Wagner's "Rienzi," by the Thomas orchestra of 125 pieces, led by Egmont Froehlich, musical director of the Sangelfest. Then came an aria from Weber's "Oberon," the soprano solo being given by Madam, Lilli Lehman-Kalish, who won an enthusiastic recall. Following this came an address by the Mayor of the city and then the colors of the North America Sangerbund were formally transferred by ex-President Henry M. Mendel of Milwaukee to President Methudy of St. Louis.

These ceremonies being concluded, the "Can- fata Arminius," by Max Bruch, was performed with Mme. Anna Lankow as the priestess, Emil Steger as Arminius and MagAlvary as Sigmund. All the soloist's sang with splendid receptions, and the chorus, which has been in diligent train ing since November, was pronounced on all hands to be as perfect as possible.

Even such an expert as burly King Harry seemed to have no fixed standard. Look, for instance, at his various choices. Anne Boleyn was a simpering gil while Catherine Patr was a mature, strongly-
