Hereditary Descent Of Beauty.

Mr. Darwin believes, says CO,nhW,
that the general beauty of the English
upper class, and especially Of the titled
aristocracy, is probably due TO their
constant selection of the most beautiful
women Of all classes (peeresses, act
rcssc-, or wealthy bourgeoise) as wives
through an immense number of gener-
atlons. Tie regular features and the
compilations Of the mothers are natur-
ally handed down by hcredity to their
descendants Similarly, it would seem,
that we must account for the high av-
crage OF personal beauty among the
ancient Greeks and the modern Ital-
iaus by the high average of general
taste, the strong love for the beautiful
dilil,cd among all classes in both those
races, The prettier women and the
handSomer men would stand better
chance Of marrying, other things equal,
and Of handing down their own refined
type Of face aud figure TO their children.
If this be So-and eyolutionists at least
can hardly doubt it--then we should
expect everywhere to find the general
level Of personal beauty highest where
there was the widest diffusion OF asthet-
ic taste. Now, our own squalid poor
are Noticeable. as a rule, for their abso-
!Utc and rCpylsiye ugliness, even when
compared with those Of other European
countries. Gaunt, hard-faced women,
low-browod, bulldog looking men, sick
~, shapcless children, people the back
slums Of our manufacturing towns.
Their painful uglineSs cannot all be due
TO their physical circumstances alone
for tie laz1aroni who hang about the
street, Of Naples must lead lives of
about equal hardship and discomfort
yet, many Of them, both men and wo-
men, are beautiful enough to sit as
models for a Leonardo On the other
hand, every traveller speaks of the beau
ty and gracciulness displayed byyoung
aud I'D among the aesthetic Poly
nc-ianS; while in many like cases note
tina! Europeans who have become ac-
cu,tomed to the local type, find decid-
eddy pretty faces extremely common in
several savage races whose primitive
works Of art show them in other wavs
10 possess considerable aesthetic taste.
In India, where artistic feeling is uni
yersai, almost every man or woman is
handsome. On the whole, it seems
fairly proved that the average personal
beauty everywhere corresponds TO the
average general love for beauty in the
abstract.
