The celebrated Countess IDA HAHN-HAHN who was formerly as thorough an
infidel as any member of the Worcester Women's Rights Convention, and as
indecently licentious in her novels as the author of _Alban_, is thus
described in a late number of the _Weser Zeitung_:

"Daily, about noon, the loungers under the Linden at Berlin are
startled by the extraordinary appearance of a tall, lanky

mantilla is flung back by the violence of her movements, a
small rope of hair with a crucifix at the end is plainly seen
to bind her waist. This ungainly woman is the _quondam_

and is now preparing for a pilgrimage to Rome to crave the
Pope's absolution for her literary trespas
