BEAUTY IN THE HUMAN FORM.
Girls Who Initiate the Masculine Are
All r0n..

Searching for the highest standards
of human form. we discover that
manly beauty and womanly beauty
differ essentially. 1t is agreed that
the type of manly proportion includes
a comparatively large head, wide
shoulders. rather square, a torso ia
pering TO a contracted pelvis. while
the whole NAV be seven and a half
heads i'll height. or an additional half
head added to the length of the legs.

On the other han,l. fine proportions
for a woman are a small head. should
crs rather ,loping and narrow. the
torso full and widest at hips, while the
front line from the sternum over the
abdomen should show first a gentle
and thcn a full outward curve.
The conventional figure Of the DAY
is at vari1ncc with this type. Every
effort i, made to initiate masculine
characteristics. The shoulders are
thrust NJ high and square, or made
to appear 50. the torso is made TO taper
in and everything under heaven is
done 10 make the waist look small.
The front line Is forced 10 take an IN
ward curve below the bust. and the
side lines 10 form an awkward angle.
in the hollow of which voluminous
skirts are hung.
One should study sculpture with
the new knowledge of these proper
tions most thoughtfully till the rhythm
of the lines has fastened itself upon
the memory. Studying the pictures
of the best artists of every age we
shall find these principles everywhere
demonstrated.
The charm of womanly proportion
is in the long curve from armpit to
ankle. which is 50 different from the
beauty Of manly figure. The depres-
sion at the so called wais: line--only
the meeting of two large muscles
which in a beautiful woman should be
Straightforward better be ignored in
the clothing, for the sake of the greater
beauty Of the whole sweep.
1t is to be understood that the long
curves are made up of shorter con-
tours, one gently melting into another.
