Handsome English Girls.

There are more handsome women in
Brighton than anywhere else in the
world, says an English journal. They
are SO common that gradually the stan
dard of taste in the mind rises, and
good-ooking women who would DO adj
mired in other places pass by without
notice. Where all the flowers are ros-
esycu do not see rose They are all
plump, not to say fat, which would be
rude, very plump, and have the glow
of youth and bloom upon the cheeks.
They do not suffer from 'pernicious
anemia," that evil bloodlessness that
London physicians are not unfre-
quently called upon to cure, when
the cheeks are white as paper, and
have to be rosied by minute doses of
arsenic. They extract arsenic from
the air. The way they step and the
carriage of the form show how full
they are of life and spirits. Sarah
Bernhardt will not come to Brighton
If she can help it less she should lose
the high art angularity and slippery
ness OF shape which suits her role.
Dresses seem always to fit well, because
people somehow seem to expand them.
IL ispleasant TO see the girls walk,
because the limbs do not drag, the feet
arc lifted gayly and with ease. Horse
exercise adds n deeper glow to the
face; they ride upon the downs first,
out of pure cunning, for the air is GER
tain to impart freshness to the fea-
lures, like dew on flower and then
return and walk their horses to and
fro on the kings road, certain of admi-
ration. However often these tricks are
played they are always successful.
These philanthropic folks who want to
reform woman's dress and call upon
the world to observe how the present
style contracts the chests and forces
the organs of the body out of place
(what queer expression it seems. 'or-
gansp"), have not chance in Brigh-
ton.
Girls lace tight aud "go in for the
tip of fashion, yet they bloom and
flourish as green bay trees, and do not
find their skirts any obstacle in walk
ing or tennis The horse-riding that
goes on is thing to be chronicled;
they are always on horseback, and you
may depend upon it that it is better
for them than all the gymnastic exer-
cises ever invented. The liability to
strain, and even internal injury, which
is incurred in gymnastic exercises
ought to induce sensible people to be
extremely careful how they permit
their daughters to sacrifice themselves
on this scientific altar. Buy them
horses to ride if you want them to en-
Joy good health and sound constitu-
lions. Nothing like horses for women.
Send the professors to Suakim and put
the girls on horseback.
Whether Brighton grows handsome
girls or whether they flock there by
instinct, or become lovely by staying
there, is an inquiry too difficult to pur-
sue. There they are, one at least in
every group, and you have to walk, as
the Spaniards say, with your head over
your shoulder, continually looking
back at those who have passed. The
only antidote known is to get married
before you visit the place, and doubts
have been expressed as to its efficacy.
In the south coast Of Seville there is
nothing done but heart breaking. 1t
is so common it is like hammering
flints for road mending; nobody cares
if your heart is in pieces. They break |
hearts on horseback, and while walk
ing, playing tennis, shopping-actually |
at shopping, not to mention parties Of
every kind. No one knows where the |
next danger will be encountered-at
the very next corner, perhaps. Femi-
nine garments have an irresistible hut-
ter in the sea breeze; feathers have |
reckoning motion. No one can be al |
together good in Brighton, and that is
the great charm Of it. The language |
of the eye is cultivated to a marvellous
degree; as we say of dogs, they quito |
talk with their ewes.
