WHAT ARE your rRoroRrroNss :
classical standard as Embodied In

Classical Standard as Embodied In
the Statue of Venus.
The classical standard of beauty in
women is of course embodied in the stat
ues of the Venus de Milo and Venus de
Medici. One the Venus de Milo, is tall.
majestic, heroic; the other petite and full
of grace. Each is exact in proportions,
measuring, according to the artistic
standard, eight heads in height. The two
distinct characters are harmonius in
themselves.
Here is the artistic and classical stand
ard of beauty as exemplified in the two
statues of Venus.
The length of the head is the standard
of measurement and the whole figure,
including the head, should be eight heads
in height.
The average female head, artists say,
measures 81 inches from the bottom Of
the chin to the apex of the skull. That
would make the average height of the
female figure 5 feet and inches.
The head of the Venus de Medici is III
inches in height. The whole figure Is 5
feet inches tall Width of the shoulders
is 161s inches Width of the hips, 141s
inches Length of the foot Sh inches.
Length of the leg, 49, inches The out
stretched arms would measure from the
tips to tips Of FINGERS the same length
as the total height of the figure.
Miss Clara BetZ, a New York model,
has been pronounced by sculptors the
most gracefully formed woman in New
York Here are her proportions: Weight,
135 pounds; height, 5 feet inches; bust,
SO inches; waist, 26 inches; hips, 81 inches;
thighs, 25 inches; calf, 1411s inches; ankle,
inches; hands, Az inches; foot, 612
inches.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.

bration on June 6, says the Hartford
(Conn.) Courant. The town decided In
town meeting to make 1T q memorable
affair. 1t is to be of double character.
June 9Th Is the birthday of Nathan Hale
and on this date, 1900 the building IN
whicA he first taught school, after leav-
ing Yale, Is to be formally turned over
to the Connecticut Society of the Sons
of the Revolution to be forever preserved
as a memorial of the hero. The building
was bought by Richard Henry Green, OF
East E1addam, and native of that town,
with the aid of the New York Society Of
the American Revolution. Hale boarded
in the family of Mr.. Green's father. The
old building, when bought, was standing
in front of the church, and not on it's
original site. William r. Goodspeed gave
a site for 1t on bluff overlooking the
Connecticut midway between Goodspeed' 8
Landing and the East Haddam Landing
The school house was removed there, was
painted red, and was prepared to stand
for years as a memorial.
Mr. Green and the New York society
having decided that the custody of the
place should be turned over to the Con-
necticut branch, 1t was considered fitting
that the formal ceremony be on Hale's
birthday. 1t so happens that this year
also Games the two-hundredth anniver-
sary of the separation of Haddam from
Haddam East Society. This causes ad-
ditional interest throughout the town,
and town meeting was held to talk over
matters.
The plan is to have the general histor-
ical exercises in the forenoon of June
6, commemorative Of the two-hundredth

The servant question now that the
Puerto Rican tariff discussion is out of
the way, may be taken up again with re-

known Washington lady, being unexpect-
edly bereft of her kitchen assistance, ad-
vertised for colored woman capable of
performing general housework.
The first caller in response to the adj
vertisement was mulatto damsel. be-

it's too hard on the hands, declared the
caller.
"Can you sweep" the housewife then
wanted to know.
No" was the answer, and 1t was
positive one, I'm not strong enough for
that"
Well IN the name of goodness, what
can you do?'' said the lady of the house,
exasperated. The placid reply was:

After all, the beginning of modish dress
ing is a pain of stays which fit and have
the outline approved by the fashion lead
ers Of the hour.
Many women sacrifice fit for line, but
your corsetferegdofs not advise this if she
is a lover of her work.
Just now women are, pursuing the

the sudden hip a few seasons ago.
Neither extreme conforms to every fig

straight front stay that it Is hygienie. q.
The profile of woman'S figure, un-

falls in straight line from the chest.

years and which curved In at the belt

SAID ABOUT WOMEN.


Saint-Prosper.
Realization is anticipation with the edge
taken off.
A defective stomach ofttimes keeps
more people awake than a guilty con-
science.
There is no greater disaster In love
than the death of the imagination.
Extremes in everything are character
istic of women.
If you are never guilty of follies you
are not quite SO wise as you imagine
A woman would be stoned If she began
to do those things which the so-called
man of honor may do with impunity.
Sometimes We must have love, either
as desirable good or an inevitable evil
We often hear outbursts Of laughter
that sound like sobs.
We rarely confess that we deserve what
we suffer.
The life of a woman can be divided into
three epochs. In the first she dreams Of
love, in the second she experiences it, In
the third she regrets 1T.
