grand, so stately, yet so womanly.
Her features are perfect. The broad,
low brow that tells of gentleness of

smile. She never grinned or giggled
or leered, as too many women do-she
smiled"

not beautiful: if she's course. she's
not beautiful. The largest. most bril-

said. The old Greeks and Romans
knew beautiful woman when they
saw her. and they must have seen her
very often, to judge from the records
