No branch of the government service
will feel more severely than the navy the
effect Of the parsinonious spirit which
pervades the Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives.
The progress made in the construction
Of a modern navy during the past five
years has been remarkable. Some Of the
hest war vessels in existence are now sail
ing under the American flag or nearing
completion in American shipyards. With
continuance of liberal appropriations for
naval construction, the United States
would soon possess navy that would be
an object of pride TO the people.
But Democratic parsimony will inter-
fere sadly with the rebuilding of the navy.
II is doubtful whether appropriations will
be allowed to carry On the work on the
vessels now under construction. 1t is GER
tain that no new vessels will be begun.
1t is too bad, but the people always take
such chances when they elect a Democratic
congress.

HAN ASIAN ART WORK
Which is Most Beautiful. the
Male or Female Form?
MANS IN HARMONY WITH IDEAL
W. n. chase says the Female Has Lost Its
Noble Outlines and Blames the
Corset for It.

IFor THE suHDAy HERALD-Copyright. 1892 !
Does woman deserve the credit she has
had for such q long time Of monopolizing
the greater part Of the beauty in the
-orlda Does the masculine or the femi-
nine figure approach nearer the ideal type
Of beauty And among men and women as
they are today, in which sex is the finer
type Of beauty more frequently found. In
short. which deserves TO be called the
beautiful sezg
These questions were laid before the
leading figure artists Of New York-artists
who have spent years in the study and por-
trayal Of the human fgure-and these are
the answers which they made:
MR. WILLIAM N. CHASE SCORES THE CORSET.
~ am inclined to think, " said Mr. Will
lam NJ Chase, ''that the woman's figure, in
its best development, is rather the more
beautiful. But the question is very diff
cult one to answer, for how can anything
be more beautiful than the form OF we'll
developed man Of fine proportionsa After
all, It must be answered differently for
different epocns Of the race.
IF we consider the Greek ideals Of
beauty as they found expression in Greek
sculpture, undoubtedly the female form Is
the most beautiful of all things The
Venus Of Milo is certainly the finest anc
noblest embodiment Of beauty of which we
have any knowledge.
but among the moderns, the people OF
the present time, it must be conceded that

today 1t would be difficult to fine better
masculine figures than some Of the men In
those clubs possess--developed by variety
Of exercise in every part with no dispro-
pOrticnHte muscular development marring
the general harmony, their figures are very
nearly perfect
considering the question, Mr.. Church,
simply IS matter OF proportions, are those
OF the female figure mole pleasing to the
taste than those Of the masculine hgureF'
Looking at 1t solely in that light" Mr.
Church replied, slowly and very thought
fully, II must say that there is something
about the proportions Of the best male
figure more pleasing 20 the eye than are the
proportions of the best female form. 1t is
impossible to define just what that some
thing is. 1t is too subtle to be caught and
snalyZed.'
Taking the men anG the women Of to-
day and making for each sex rough gen
eral average, which one approaches nearer
TO the Greek ideals of beauty for that
sexln
''That is a difficult question to answer,
since it is not possible to compare draped
figures fairly with urdraped. But IL seems
to me probable that the masculine figure is
rather nearer the Greek proportions than
the feminine. And then. too, il must be
remembered that the Greeks had such
varied types of beauty. The Venus OF
Milo. for instance, is very different from
the Venus de Medici an yet both are
lovely. The Venus OF Milo, think, is the
most beautiful Of all the Greek creations

woman can be more beautiful in charac-
ter than man. In the divine quality OF
self-sacritice she far surpasses him, and
these powers of love and self sacridce and
devotion and many others that she
possesses in superior degree ennobie her
type Of beauty and make 1t finer and better
than his.n
MR.. WILLARD L. METCALF VOTES IN FAVOR or
WOMAN.
al am afraid must agree with the con
ventional idea on this question: said Mr..
Willard L. Metcalf. 1.-THE ideal type OF
beauty is founded on the female figure, and
1 do not see how it is possible to get any
thing more beautiful than that figure when
it reaches its finest development. The
masculine figure, ia its best form, is fine
too exceedingly fine. But the two can
scarcely be compared with the idea of say
ing which is the more beautiful, because
they are so different in their distinctive
characteristics. 1t is like comparing Two
trees of different kinds, each perfect of its
kind, and trying to say which is The finer.
NO do not think that the feminine
figure gains anything when IL approaches
the masculine type. Decidedly, l should
say that IL loses in charm by such develop
ment 1t does not need to borrow nobility
or dignity by initiating the masculine
figure. 1t has fobiiity and dignity that
are all its own. different from those quail
ties in the masculine form, but more har-
monious with the feminine type.
1.-The nearer the feminine type stays to
the feminine type the more beautiful and
the more charming it is. Every step that
it takes in an approach toward the mascu-
line type interferes just that much with It's
harmony of proportion and helps to destroy
the charm
"Among the people OF the present time,
think there is more beauty among men
than among women. Men have fallen
away from their ideal type of beauty less
than women have from theirs. In the
days of the Greeks, whence we get our ideal
types of feminine loneliness, women
dressed more freely than they do now.
Their bodies were unfsttered by their
clothing, and all their muscles were given
free play They reached as nearly per-
feet development as the human figure has
ever had But in the later times their
clothing has made such development i'm
possible. Men have dressed more health
fully and have spent more time out OF
doors, and so they have not lost 80 much
of besuty as women have.
"But The figures of women have been i'm
proving during the last generation. Per-
haps they dress more sensibly than they
used to do, and they certainly take more
interest in physical development during re
cent years than formerly. At any rate
there has been much improvement in theil
figures. And, if they keep on in this way
they may once more distance the men anC
Ilake it possible to say of them that, il
actual fact as well as in ideal type, they
are more beautiful than men,"

approaches the masculine type. 1t does not;
it is thoroughly feminine. 1t charms by its

MRS. RosINA EMMETT SHERWOOD THINKS
THERE ARE TWO DISTINCT TYPES.
Said Mrs. Rosins Emmett Sherwood: 81
think there must be two ideals Of beauty
one for the masculine figure, and another,
aud very different one, Tor the feminine;
In the former we look for strength and
agility, in the latter we expect grace and
softness. But separating the idea OF
beauty of form from the idea of sex there
would be higher ideal, g type more beau
tiful than either of these. that would unite
the characteristics Of both. Tt would soften
the strength Of the n an with grace of the
woman and elevate her softness with, no
bleness.
''At the present time I should say thai
! there is more beauty to be found in the
| feminine than in the masculine sex. No
only is beauty more prevalent among
women, but it more frequently approaches
the ideal type. Possibly that is because
they have taken better care Of themselves
but mainly, l should think, because they
care SO much more TO be; beautiful and L
please that they have cultivated beauty
more than men have.

beautiful, at least during the later ages o
the world, than they are now. and the mos
