IS yet to be classified. had private looK at
some or its curiosities to-day and my eyes grew
big as handled the iewelry worn by the LADIES
of the Congo. About the only things that q
Congo girl cares for are her belt and bracelets.
She wears in fact, nothing else. Her belt con-
sists Of q band which runs around the waist and
which has fringe about four inches long run
ming down in front of It The belt is ornamsnted
in various ways and am told at the museum,
that the belt constitutes the adornment OF many
savage women in different parts OF the world.
In most OF the tropical countries women wear
clothes purely for ornament, and there IS no
better place in the world to study the woman
beautiful By this don't mean the Venus DE
Medici nor the ideal pretty woman of our
civilization / mean the ideal beautiful woman
all over the world.
THE HoTTENToT VENUS.

who is considered the most beau iful woman OF

fat / don't believe she could sit down in the
ordinary washtub with her legs outside the nm.
and she could certainly not be packed In Two

down on her back she has to have her maids TO
help pull her up again, and in this fatness ana
