Education and beauty.

An American scientist has come to
the conclusion that the tendency of
too much education or intellectual de-
velopment in women is to make them
lose their beauty. He instances the
FARO women of India. They are SUI
preme. They WOO the men, control the
affairs of the home and the nation,
transmit property, and leave the men
nothing to d.. The result is, says the
scientist, that they are the ugliest
women on earth.
