ARTHUR F. MATHEWS.

Arthur F. Mathews believes rather | n a
relative than an absolute standard Of
beauty.
There are so many different types of
beauty" he observes, that it Is almost i'm
possible to compare them. AS far as color
ing Is concerned, l have always fanced
that the finest combination consisted OF an
ivory complexion. golden hair and brown
eyes. Such type is rarely met with, and
when encountered is dangerously fascnat-
ing.
IAN ideal beauty must certainly be slen-
der and supple. about feet in height.
and she must be possessed Of such figure
as to make corsets unnecessary.
Small women, about 3 feet Inches,
almost invariably, however have the best
figures and make the best models.
Now that silver statue for the Worlds
Fair" continued Mr.. Mathews. with slight
air Of contempt; ''a great deal of nonsense
is being talked about Ii. The idea of model
ing statue from the arms Of one woman,
the torso Of another, the head OF third and
so Oh, Is not classic idea at all; it only
dates from the renaissance, and il is mar
tistic and wrong. The arms of woman 8
feet may be beautiful, so may the hands
Of woman feet 8, but they are necessar-
lily different IN character. 1t Is impossible
TO stitch together number oil unlike types
and make them fit arts tcally, though they
may be modelled down to fit in proportion.
"The thing most essential for painter
and a sculptor needs it even more-is a
model with a we'll proportional skeleton,
with proportional bones. and not too
much flesh. An artist from his knowledge
of other figures can add to the flesh. take
from it and refine away any mDcrfections.
with regard to features it is impossible
TO have fixed ideal; there are too many
different types; the woman with the
retrousse nose may be as ideal in her way
as the one with classic features. The most
beautiful woman is the most beautiful ex-
preston OF her own particular type"

THE AFRICAN ELEPHANT.
Tanning 1t Would Have a Great Effect
in Opening Up the Dark Continent.
London Standard


Count Follower suggests that IL the herds
OF tuskers still roaming in the wids OF
Africa could be captured and confined in
kedahs or corrals like those successfully
formed in India by the late Mr.. Sanderson,
the turner could still obtain fair supply of
the material he covets by saving off the
tusks, while the animals, much safer without
them, could be tanned as beasts of draught
and burden. Without quite accepting this
rather sanguine view as to this domestic
supply being ever equal to the present de-
mand, 1t is undenlable that the tanning of
the African elephant would be one of the
most important steps In the civilization and
opening up of Africa which could possibly
be taken.
1t would. indeed, solve many Of the prob
lens which the camel settled ages ago, when
1t became, as 1t is likely to continue, the
ship of the desert" But in most of the
country now exciting the interest of Europe
the camel Is scarcely suitable, though Cap
tain Lugard thinks that 1t might be very
easily naturalized Ia Uganda and the lake
region generally. Large parts of East
Africa and certain broad strips near the sea
are impossible TO beasts OF burden ON ac-
count Of the venom0us tsetse fly.
Harmless to man, the insect is fatal to the
horse, sheep, dog. OK and most generally to
the mule. and though the immunity of the
donkey has been affirmed. the experience of
travellers will. we believe. bear us out in af-
frmlng that it Is too exceptional to be de-
pended on by the trader or explorer. Hence

WILLIAM KEITH.


"How can YOU define art?' asked VIII
liam Keith. Expression in woman IS
more than form, just as harmony in music
is more thar melody. Beauty should be
more suggestive than objective.
Nov. take picture Ike that there MI
Keith pointed to a delicate. clear landscape
pafntfng that was leaning against the wall
in his studiO). THAT is objective. You
recognize the place, you know everything
the minute you glance al the picture. Now
look at that" and Mr.. Keith indicated
painting that left considerably more to the
Imagination than the one first pointed out
That is sugge Stive. Ii is the same with
woman. Pretty hair, pretty eyes. etc,
without expression have, IN my estimation,
no more ideal beauty than is possessed by
a BARRIERS block.
"a face that tells its story all at once,
however beautiful its outline, IS TO nature
what photography in colUTs would be TO art
a mere piece of workmanship. What Is
the same Yesterday. to-day and forever IS
not the highest form Of art a beautiful
face or q beautiful picture should not tell It's
whole story 10 every chance onlooker.
Now, to give an Illustration CT the tact
that mere correctness or outline and
knowledge of nature do not necessarily lm-
ply the existence Of the ideal IN art, look at
the women in Nine. Tussaud's waxwOrks.
Visitors have often been deceived into ad-
dressing them, vet a waXwOrk ngure could
not satisfy the ideal, even OF painters. VINO
try TO reduce art 10 mere copy or nature
10 photography, in fact.
Ideal beauty IN n woman" concluded
Mr. Keith, as, IN my estimation, IKE IDEAL
beauty in a misunderstanding eyanes-
cent, that IS almost inspiration"

Anderson is the more severe and classical.
An artist would perhaps place her on the
higher pedestal. He might worship her
beauty. bat he would stand at distance To
admire il, whereas Ada Rehan's is a more
human type OF beauty that would excite a
warmer and more sympathetic feeling.
Beauty like Ada Rshan's that is in har-
mony with our feelings is sympathetic and
analytic, aud an artist does bett0r work
when his sympathy is aroused by the sub
ject with which he is dealing.
The Greek Slave is perfectly beautiful

RUPERT SCHMID.

"As there is no standard OF female beauty
the judgment thereof should depend solely
upon individual taste" said Rupert Schmid.
EVERY nation has its own conception Of the
faVorite type of what it thinks beauty IS.
Nations Of high state of cultivation often
ridicule the ideas of beauty OF nations of a
lower grade of civilization.
"The Greeks. as the most refined nation,
embodied in their numerous statues Of
Venus their concentrated idea Of beauty,
of which the Venus of Milo is still consid
cred as the highest attainment Of perfection.
Refined taste teaches us that form is pre-
eminently the constituency OF beauty.
Color sayors more of sensuality and is sec
ondary phase In beauty.
1.-THE female form must be full and round
In all details, and expression and color Is
matter OF personal taste. Form IS the first
requisite, though spirit and animation are
the most favored requisites to beauty In
modern times.

GIDDY BUT GOOD.
A Girl Who Was Not Abashed by Men
in the Car.


Early ChriStma as evening the Sixth-avenue
elevated trains were crowded with returning
skaters. 1t was Sunday. but what of that?
Skating like Christmas. comes but once a
year-at least 20 New Workers. Sometimes
it doesn't come even that often. 1t is neces-
sary for the lovers of the sport to take ad-
vantage of the first ice. for it may be the
last Of the season. This fact will excuse
the business-like masculine crowd that
poured into the city on Sunday evening.
Every seat in the car l entered was oc-
cupied by young man or boy with a pair
of skates. To be exact. every seat but one.
and that was taken by young lady. She
also had a pair of skates. She had very
pretty pair of eyes, too, which she lavished
upon brace Of young gentlemen who &C
companied her. She was very chatty and
rather loud, with one of those penetrating
voices that rose above the din made by
carload of men all talking at once.
Now you mnst be sure ana call" she
said to the Young man she and her escort
were about TO leave at Seventy-seeond
street. What the former young man said
could not be heard.
"Oh. they will all be away by that time. ;"
said she
please tie the dog up" shouted youth
in our end of the car.

the girl, in a chipping, coaxng voice that
penetrated TO the uttermost recesses of the
car. She was getting up and shaking out
her skirts now.

the pretty young lady drop down from sheer
modification. But she wasn't that kind Of
girl She gayly swung her skates at the de-
parting train and shrieked, Good by !" and
was gone. And every man and boy in the
car just got up and waved his skates and
yelled. All but me. Having no skates
merely yelled.
