miles of lines, and representing $23, ,43S, 900

BEAUTIFUL THOUGH FAT.

Distinguished Women Who Don't Seem 70
Have Found Emhompoint a Drawback.
A great many ladies labor under the
impression that flesh is inimical to
bef<Ity, and not few of them put
themselves to great trouble sometimes
they seriously injure their health-try-
ing to get rid of what they consider
their superfiuous flesh. The attention
of such is called to the conclusions of
a recent writer in a society magazine,
who, from historical review of the
prominent women of ancient, medieval
and modern times, concludes that most
of the female beauties and celebrities
of the past and present were, or are,
distinguished for their portliness.
Thus Agrippina, Nero's mother, was
fat. Cleopatra, the serpent of the Nile,
was small and stout. Laura, Petrarch's
muse, was fat and fair, with blonde
hair. The Marie Fiammetta whom
Boccaccio loved was a brunette and
stout. Elizabeth, the virgin queen.
was tall and plumpish, with thick red
hair. Marguerite Of Navarro was fat.
All Rubens' women, except his wife,
were fat. All Titian's women, except
the Madonna, were portly. Catharine
of Russia, after her portraits, was tall
and fat. Louisa Strozzi, for whom
Alessandro di Medici died, was given
to embonpoint, Josephine Beauharnais,
the indolent creole, afterward Empress
of the French, was fat and performed.
Marie Antoinette was tall of stature,
majestic, and rather inclined to be
stoutish.
Nine. de Stael was small, dark, and
fat, with a small head. George Sand
had beautiful head, but was fat and
small. Heine said of her: "The build
of her body has the appearance of be-
ing little too fat, or at least little
too short; the head alone bears the
lcachet of the ideal" Queen Victoria
the same; Queen Margherita of Italy is
certainly going to be the same way and
most of the great singers have always
been noted for their embonpoint.
