The concert given by the pupils OF
T.. Otto Davis was indeed an enjoyable
affair, and shows that Butler is among
the best of them in the music line.
Each number of the program was. ex
ecuted with a precision and marked
ability, which goes to show the thorough
training they have received. The solos
by w. Forest Huff and trio by Mr. and
Mrs. Il. Otto Davis and Mr.. Huff were

Defects of Women's Beauty" is the
title Of book by Baron Rudolf Won
, Larisch, liz which the author agrees
with Schopenhauer In his denunciation
of those who find comeliness in the
. 'undergrown. small shouldered. big
hipped and short legged sex :" How
much more grateful to the clear eye of
art should be tho noble proportions OF
she properly developed man. argues the
baron. By humorous measurements be
proves TO his own satisfaction that, geo
metrically. the female fcr1u is failure
and that the uiale form ia q success.
Women themselves have shown since
tho days of Evein the garden, the baron
says, that they appreciate their inferior
ity in this respect They have concealed
their limbs In flowing garments. reach

to the ankles. sometimes to the feet.

ing them out there. and not scornine
hoopskirts, bustles and crinoline in or
der to make themselves look as little az
possible as nature made them.
The ballet girl would seem to con-
found part of the baron's argument, but
he does not yield to this apparent def
ance Of his logic. He contends that
woman dsres to expose her defects iT
tights "only when she summons to her
aid the most effective means of benumb.
ing the intellect Of man." The baron
seems to feel, however, that he is in
losing fight, for he adds: But most OF
the men of our times have ceased &c
perceive the defects of female beauty.
Woman has deceived and misled her ad
mirers 30 many generations with her
smooth. long gowns that only few.
educated by research and by constant
practice in measuring the proportions OF
the female form, fully clothed, have
gained that clear, unbiased view which
enables them to appreciate how skillful-
ly woman ls,s carried out the delusion
