The question Of whether dark or fair
women the more beautiful has been
threshed out on purely argumentative lines
so often that it is quite time to consider
the subject from a scientific point of view,
to see If there is not some definite and tan
gible reason why one should be placed
before the other in order of merit.
Whatever decision may be arrived at,
there will, of course, be those who will
adhere to their own opinions on the point
In question, possibly because they are in
huenced by. circumstances; but for the
benefit of the great majority the follow
ing points may serve as a guide:
The beauty Of color in a woman depends
first of all on the delicate whiteness of
the skin, then upon the blonde hue of her
hair the blue of her eyes, the rose of her
lips, and the relative whiteness of her
teeth, all clear colors which in har-
mony with her.
But besides the effect produced by the
harmony of colors, there Is the effect pro-
duced by their contrast, the proximity of
a lively and energetic hue imparting to a
middle tint tenderer tone. The contrast
of color produces more definite effect than
their harmony. Hence a delicate skin ap-
pears of more brilliant whiteness where
contrasted with the eyes and hair. When
these are dark the wilderness produces its
maximum effect

The dark skin of brunette is beautiful
provided the grain is fine but the first
place belongs to the white skin of the
blonde, because 1T is farthest, removed from
the masculine type, and constitutes one
of the most significant characteristics of
femininity.
A brunette skin goes well with dark eyes
and hair The graduation is then as harino-
NOUS as when the skin is white the hair
blonde, and the eyes blue. But when white
skin and dark hair are united in the same
person their respective beauties are en-
HANGED by the contrast
AS allcolorS are produced above all by
the pigment produced by the blood the
lightest or the darkest of all colors results
from the greater or less amount of pigment
found. For the same reason the exceptions
like the union in the same persons of a
white skin feebly tinted with dark hair
of most pronounced pigmentation, are rare
types of beauty which enjoy a particular
admiration.
These exceptions are met with among GER
tain peoples more frequently than with
others For example, among the Polish
women we often find white and delicate
compilations with black hair, eyebrows and
lashes and blue eyes. There are many
women particularly favored by nature who
always offer to the eye colors equally beau
tiful, but others have their good and bad
days. The latter are often frail, with whom
the least nervous trouble, the least changes
in the circulation of the blood, are mani
tested by an alteration of their hue.
INDEPENDENTLY of these cases there Is a
series of external phenomena which in

Are the social gifts and qualities of men
very greatly superior to those of women?
On what other ground shall we explain the
fact that women do not enjoy a social occa-
sion without men nearly so much as they
do one where men are present, while If you

you give him one from which feminine pres

out one thing-that is, that nearly all the
wives believed the men would be best enter

then. after all, it was not social pleasure
that these women supposed their husbands
wanted. but the excitement of the milder
vices. indulgence in which the presence of
women would exclude.

White chiffon is the material for many of
the most attractive house blouseS, and the
models are indescribably dainty. One that
merits especial mention is cut in surplice
form, and may be worn either slightly low
at the throat or with little transparent
guimpe and collar.
A line of narrow valenciennes edges all
the little frills of sleeves and surplice, but
the distinctive feature of the model is the
pointed design of leaves in soft green's and
browns which runs down each side of the
surplice folds.
The readymade blouses are, in many in
stances, quite unlined; but they are. as a
rule, accompanied by shaped and boned
girdles. which hold them in place, and the
unlined blouse of last season, pouching

band, is not correct.
Silk in cut-out design or broiderie Anglaisa
makes dainty blouses and requires little
trimming, save at throat and wrists Cut
out cloth in white or some light shade also
offers good blouse possibilities.
Tiny buttons in gold or silk-covered are
used plentifully upon blouses as upon all
bodices, and the note of gold so emphasized
throughout the modes of the season is
added to the blouses in embroidery, in tiny
tassels, or in the gold-threaded lace, which
is especially effective upon velvet.
