OBSERVATIONS
BY SARAH B. HARRIS

HUT, Stevens and Wenzell have con-
tributed their conceptions OF what is
the most perfect feminine beauty.
Helen would not have been a belle in
this century. The forehead and the
nose on the same line are not popular
except on coins and medals. Gibson
has had much to do with forming the
heads there are two Gibson" girls.
To be sure one of them is drawn by
Christy and one by Gilbert, but both
is in the Gibson style. He invented it,
and it rightfully bears his name. It
is likely that these two will receive the
largest number of votes. The contest
is to be determined not by q fallible
committee but by the votes Of all who
participate in the contest, which means
that the head receiving the largest
number Of votes will confer twelve
points upon everyone who chooses it.
The next popular will have the value
of eleven points, and SO on. The
contest will settle what is the most
popular type of beauty for the moment.
Three years from now some other type
may be the ideal.
The story is a love story whose
heroine is said to be the most beauti-
full woman in Europe. 1t is not wildly
exciting. For those troubled with in<
remedy.

A Boil Terrier

A Bar Sinister, in the March Scrib-
ners' by Richard Harding Davis, is
the story of a dog and a gentleman.
The Kid" respects himself, is careful
of the feelings and rights Of others
and is not puffed up. The dog tells
his own story. We are in the mood
for animal stories. The mood has
been cultivated by etOn-Thompson,
Rudyard Kipling and others. So Mr..
Davis biography Of the clever, brave,
devoted bull-terrier is, among other
things, timely. OF all the breeds the
bull-terrier is the most like folks and
point. No man can get well acquaint-
ed with another mans dog, especially
with another mans bull-terrier dog.
He is reserved, not suspicious and
is dignified and even naughty, and il
anything on four legs that barks has
a right to be proud of his intellect and
character it is the right kind Of a bull
ter who has chosen him from all other
pups is to the death. Such a dog lays
aside reserve in the presence of the
one man who is to him the source of
light, food and intelligence. He gives
him his confidence. Mr.. Davis has a
