Beauty in Japan.

In Japan the nose is the only fea-
ture which attracts attention. The
nose determines the beauty or ugli-
ness OF the face. according as IL is
big or small. This Is probably due to
the fact that difference in noses con-
stitutes about the only distinction be
tween one Japanese face and another.
The eyes are invariably black. the
cheek-bones high and the chin reced-
ing. In Japan a woman who has
huge proboscis is always great
beauty and a reigning belle. There are
few large noses among the natives.
and lucky is he or she upon whom
nature lavishes one. In all japanese
pictures representing the supposedly
beautiful woman. the artist invariably
improves on nature by depicting this
feature as abnormally developed.
