male figure in what is probsbiy the
best development it reaches to-day. It
would be difficult to find better mascu-
line figures than some Of the men in
T those clubs possess developed By varie-
II Of exercise in every part, with no
disproportionate muscular development
marTing the general harmony, their
figures are very nearly perfect"
Considering the question, Mr..
/ Church, simply as a matter Of proper
tions, ara those Of the female figure
) more pleasing to the taste than those Of
/ the masculine igure?''
Looking at it solely in that light, +"
Mr.. Church replied, slowly and very
thoughtfully, Il must say that there is
something about the proportions of the
best male figure more pleasing to the
eye than are the proportions of the best
female form. 1t is impossible to define
just what that something is 1t is too
subtle to be caught and Analysed
Taking the men and the women OF
to-day and making for each sex rough
general average, which one approaches
nearer to the Greek ideals of beauty for
that sex?"
That is difficult question to an
swer, since it is not possible to compare
draped figures fairly with undraped-
But 1t seems to me probable that the
masculine figure is rather nearer than the
feminine. And then, too, it must be re-
meInbered that the Greeks had such
varied types of beauty. The Venus of
Milo, for instance, is very different from
the Venus de Medici, and yet both are
lovely. The Venus of Milo, think, is
the most beautiful of all the Greek GRE
atoms No, its superior beauty is not
because it approaches the masculine
type. It does not, it Is thoroughly fem
mime. 1t charms by its beauty and
impresses by its nobility. There are
many women in New York to-day that
are near akin in beauty to this Venus
and to the Greek figures of Victory.
One can scarcely go up Broadway with
out seeing some woman or girl so per-
feet in proportions and so glowing in
health and beauty that she would not
suffer by comparison even with the
finest Greek Victory
Said Mrs. Rosina Emmett Sherwood:
81 think there must be two ideals of
beauty-one for the masculine figure,
and another, and very different, for the
feminine. In the former we look for
strength and agility, in tie latter we
expect grace and softness But sepa-
rating the idea Of beauty OF form from
the idea of sex there would be higher
ideal, a type more beautiful than
either of these, that would unite the
characteristics Of both. It would soft
en- the strength of the man with the
grace OF the woman and elevate Ter
softness with nobleness.
'At the present time I should say
that there is more beauty TO be found
in the feminine than in the masculine
sex Not only is beauty more preva-
lent among women. but il more fire.
quently approaches the ideal type Pos +
sibly that is because they have taken
better care Of themselves, but mainly, I
should think, because they care so
much more to be beautiful and to please
that they have cultivated beauty more
than men have"

beauty. In such types the masculine
borrows something of the grace and
loneliness Of the feminine figure, while
II loses none Of its own strength and
masculine dignity, while the feminine
clothes its own peculiar soft grace with
masculine mobility and impressiveness.
Among moderns this ideal type of
beauty IS probably more frequently ap-
preached among women than among
men During recent years women have
been paying more attention to physical
development than men have. When
men go in for athletics at all they are
very apt To overdo the matter. and the
excessive muscular development which
is the result lessons the beauty Of their
figures Very often, too. they take mp
only one form Of exercise and develop
one set Of muscles at the expense Of the
others And the majority Of men take
