In the days of her babyhood Miss Marion Edison, daughter of the world renowned inventor, was known as Dot.

Miss Edison is built on inassive lines, her type of beauty being purely classic, though essontially feminine. Altogether Bhe is a splendid specimen of American womanhood. Ker milk and rose leaf complexión is her chief charm, if one charm eau be said to predominate over another. Her hair, of Norman gold, is a formidable rival to it. It curls in soft ringlets next her face and is piled high in a Psyche knot in the back. Miss EdiBon dressea in faultless taste, uever sacriflcing the artistic to fashion, for Miss Edison has strong artistic tendencies. Her paintings have won her high praise from competent judges. She is an accornplished rnusician and a pianist of unusnal brilliancy. She is also a linguist, speaking French and Germán with as much fluency as English, and, what is more than all, she is a sweet, gentle girl, beloved by all who know her. Miss Edison has never found time to poso as a society butterfly. Not that she is a recluse. Far from it. Sho is fond of the society in which brains couut for more than a bank account.

She can discuss the latest phase of Germán politics, the researchts of Lombroso and others in spiritism, the music of Brahms, science, art, literature - with all she is thoroughly familiar. Her opinious on these are her own, uot the rechauffe ideas of reviewers. At present Miss Edison is abroad, and if rumor is to be believed she will soon change her name for that of an offlcer in the Germán army.
