Show Minister Bowen's Wife. Mrs. Bowen, wife of our minister to Venezuela, talks very entertainingly of the Venezuelans, whom she describes de-scribes as models of domestic virtue. Many are also very beautiful, but they go out very little in public, being of Spanish descent. Mrs. Bowen, who is slight in figure and of girlish manners, man-ners, was a Miss Clegg of Galveston, Tex. She is fond of pets, and among the unusual ones entertained at th legation in Caracas are several parrots, par-rots, a fine peacock and some monkeys which are allowed to roam at will in the garden. |
