Ball Dresses.
Il the unsatisfactory statistics that l
have been able to collect can be relied
On, the proportion Of badness in boys
and girls under twenty is about eighty
to seven. AS the majority of girls at
the age under consideration wear their
hair loose, or in simple Marguerite"
braids, 80 that there is little likelihood
of deception, while unwholesome head
gear or other individual practices can
hardly, as yet, have had time to produce
any material effect upon either sex. we
may regard the differences indicated by
the figures as practically due to the
working of heredity alone.
Now, there is no apparent reason why
girls should not inherit n tendency to
badness as well as boys, unless that
tendency is checked by some other fac
tor. Such factor Is sexual selection:
for I presume il is hardly necessary TO
argue here that baldheaded woman
would not stand much chance Of "sur-
vival" in the struggle for matrimonial
honors. As men have always practi-
cally done the ''seiecting," and will
probably continue to do so more and
more as the conditions of modern life
render the competition for husbands
more severe, the woman's voice in the
matter, when she has any, being limited
to simple negative, it is not likely
that the state Of badness TO which the
human race is said 10 be tending will
