BEA UriFUL AOw IND EYER.

An American scientist, after long and
profound study and thought. has come
to the conclusion that the tendency Of
much education or intellectual develop
ment in women is to make them lose
their beauty. He instances the Fora
women of India. They are supreme
They WOO the men, control the affairs
Of the home and the nation, transmit
property, and leave the men nothing to
=. do. The result is, says the scientist,
that they are the ugliest women on
earth.
This American scientist probably
knows thing or two. If he didn't he
would hardly have achieved the dis
tinction of being called an American
scientist. But perhaps he hasn't come
to the right conclusion about all wo-
men. The Fora women may support
this theory and their husbands too, but
where are the signs in this country that
United States women will be like the
Fora women when they know as much
as or more than the Fora women do?
The more the United States women know
the more beautiful they grow. Knowl-
edge does not wither nor education stale
their beauty. Who can gaze on the
conventions of learned women that are
occasionally held in this country and
not be more moved by their wonderful
faces and forms than by their wonder
! full thoughts and words? Such women
know so much and are so we'll educated
that If IAN American scientist" has the
right theory they ought to be losing
their beauty and grace. But are they?
Who dares say that they are, even to
support a scientific theory?
