Eupcrean sisters. The American wom-
an is recognized the world over. The
type is besides found in bewildering
variety, yet each Is unmistakable. The
blending of many familiar types of
American womanhood In the composite
photograph reproduced herewith af-
fords unique opportunity for judging
the typical face.
Familiar as the type, or rather
types, are. few perhaps can call up
definite mental picture Of the general
type itself The composite face of
American women. therefore, fills a long
felt want. A score or more Of artists
have patronized the American girl.
The drawings are almost always in
teresting, many OF them are charming
and all may be readily Unidentified as
the American girl. yet no two are alike
or even similar. No other country In
the world, 1t Is safe to say, affords
such an opportunity to Its artists. In
England. for instance. there Is well
known type of beauty. somewhat pale
and expressionless. perhaps. but un-
mistakable English. And there Is only
one. In America there is often single
family in which every daughter IL
illustrates an entirely distinctive beau
ty, yet without losing the family re-
semblance.
The composite photograph combines
as far as possible the most character
istic types Of American beauty as IL
Illustrated by twenty well known New
York women. II Is too much. of
course. to clsfm that the list is COM
plete. but 1t is ut least fairly represen-
tative. Nor can II be claimed for
such blending that the ideal type Of
American beauty has been attained.
So varied and distinctive are the types
that hundreds of types would have to
be considered In such q balance. The
composite face, however, Is as general
and representative as 1t we'll can be.
Compare 1t with the typical beauties
of other countries. allowing for the
impressionistic effect inseparable from
such q picture, and the result to the
most critical eye cannot fail to be re-
assuring.
The American woman as portrayed
in her composite photograph contrasts
strikingly with the typical faces Of
other countries. The face Is perhaps,
less nervous than that Of the typical
French woman. especially the young
French woman, but to the American
eye. at least, It seems better balanced.
in contrast with characteristic Eng
lish face the difference Is especially
marked. The two faces express an en-
tirely different mentality. The Amer
lean woman, set beside her English
cousin. suggests wider and more varied
interests and an unmistakable air OF
Independence which strangely becomes
her. Compared with the typical
Teutonic face, the American woman
appears the more alert and
vivacious.
Among those whose photographs
make up the composite are Miss Helen
Morton. Mrs. Chauncey N. Dcpew,
Mrs. Payne Whitney, Miss Alice Roose-
Welt, Miss Nathalie Schenck, Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr.. and Mrs.
John Jacob Aston. - Kansas City

A SONG OF DUTY.

Sorrow comes and sorrow goes.
Life Is fiecked with shine and shower,
Now the tear of grieving flows.
Now we smile in happy hour;
Death awaits us, every one
, Toiler, dreamer. preacher, writer
Let us, then, ere life be done,
Make the world a little brighteri
Burdens that our neighbors bear,
Easier let us try to make them;
Chains. perhaps, our neighbors wear,
Let us do our best to break them.
From the straitened brain and mind
Let us loose the binding fetter
Let us. as the Lord designed,
Make the world q little better!
Selfish brooding sears the soul.
Makes the heart nest of sorrows.
Darkening the shining goal
OF the sun-illumined morrows;
Wherefore should our lives be spent
Daily growing blind or binder?
Let u.s. as the Master meant,
Make the world little kinder!
