FEMALE BEAUTY IN OLD ENGLAND
AND New ENGLAND III is generally
allowed that there is more OF what is
called cbiseled beauty in America
than in Europe-that the features Of
the women are finer, and the head
more classical. But here ends the
triumph Of our sisters Of the West I;
their busis are far inferior 10 those
we admire at home, aud an atlenua-
ton in the whole figure gives the idea
Of fragility and decay.
And this idea is correct. What
they want is soundness Of cons;iiu-
ton; and in consequence of this
want, their finely cut faces, taken
generally, are pale instead Of fair, aud
sallow when they should be rosy
In this country, woman is in the
prime of her attractions at thirty five
and she frequently remains almos,
stationary till fifty, or else declines
gradually and gracefully, like beau
tiful day melting into a lovely even
ing. In America, twenty-five is the
farewell line Of beauty in women
it becomes decay; at ,hirty-6ve, she
looks weary and worn. her fat chest
