It is said that the American wOman's
profile is the finest in the world; that it
is the most clear cut an@ lnely modelled
of any other type. GeLeralities like this
are hard to prove. 1t cannot be denied
that some of the finest prof1les in the
history of feminine beauty are to be
found in America, but whether the av-
erage is markedly higher in this coun-
try than anywhere else is an open
question. But the ordeal is trying one
