almost unknown in SpsinD. and the most
dainty and refined hands and feet. writes
Henry T. Finck in the January Sribev.
Regarding these feet, Gautier makes the
most astounding assertion, that without
any poetic exageration it would be easy
here in Seville to find women whose feet
an infant might hold in its hands. A
French girl Of Z or 3 could not
wear the shoes Of an Andalusian Of 20.

Of feet. hands and waists is q matter Of
proportion, not of absolute size. aud too
small feet. hands and waists are not beauti-
full. but ugly. We might a. well argue that
since mans foot ought TO be larger than
. woman's. therefore the larger his foot
the moro he has Of manly beauty. II An

poetry Of motion, and this Is probably the
reason that although regular facial beauty
