Defects of Women's Beauty" is the
title Of a book by Baron Rudolf Won
Lariseh, fn which the author agrees
with Schopenhauer IN his denunciation
Of those who find cemeliness in the
"undergrown, small shouldereG, big
hipped and short legged sex. f" How
much more grateful to the clear eye Of
art should be the noble proportions Of
the properly developed man, argues the
baron By numerous measurements he
proves to his own satisfaction that, geo.
a1etaieally, the female form Is failure
and that the male form is success.
Women themselves have shown since
the days of Eve In the garden, the baron
SAYS, that they appreciate their inferior
ity i'll this respect. They have concealed
their limbs in flowing garments, reach
ing sometimes to the knee, sometimes
TO the ankles, sometimes to the feet,
but always far enough TO hide from man
the defects in their proportions They
now not only conceal their proportions
to large extent, he says, but they al
ways seek to alter them, moving their
waist UP or down with stays. squeezing
IN their natural figures here and build
ing Them cut there, and not scorning
hoopskirts, bustles and crineline in or
der to make themselves look as little as
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
wonan dares to expose her defects in
tights aonly 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 a
losing fight, for hs adds: but most Of
the men Of our times have ceased to
perceive the defects OF female beauty.
Woman has deceived and misled her adj
mirers so 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-
y woman has carried cat the delusion
as to her figure. San francisco Arge-

me Essimo,. Kaxak.

Some queer craft are described By
Gustav Kobbe in ST. Nicholas, and he
SAYS of the native Greenlander's boat:
While the tropical and semitrcpical
sailor clines to bis lateen rig, the ex-
IRENE northern race, the Eskimo, clings
perforce TO his kayak and paddle. The
kayak suggests our racing shell, bat
without the sliding seat, and so covered
over that cniy a hole remains TO admit
the body. Even if the Eskimo Of the
extrex.e north wished to adopt sail,
he could not do so for lack Of wood for
the mast. The light frame Of bis kayak
Is made Of bone skillfGlly thonged with
seal leather, and the skin Of the seal il
generalIy used for the covering / have
seen the Eskimos of Labrador In their
kayaks, and it is wonderful with what
quick, nervous guiTer these light craft
respond tie the slightest touch of the
paddle. Within easy reach are the har-
psons, guns and bladder floats of these
daring sea hunters, wEa, IN their frail
looking kayaks, with ieebergs towering
almost in their course, and the white
glare Of the ice loom" IN the ofing,
brave dangers compared with which
those encountered BY the naFigators OF
the flying proas, dahsbeahs and mu-
letas are triaing The Eskimos furnish
the extreme instance Of that logged
courage Of the northern races which,
