It is said that the American woman's
profile is the finest in the world; that it
is the most clear cut and finely modelled
of any other type. Generalities like this
are hard to prove. 1t cannot be denied
that some of the finest protiles 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 a trying one
to any woman when it comes to a faith
full delineation Of her profile in shadow.
1t is a finely nodded face indeed which
looks well in a shadow picture seen
sideways. If the nose turns up the
least bit in real life it is sure to point
skyward in a silhouette. If that organ
is even a trifle above the usual size it
will appear huge in q shadow profile.
A projecting upper lip or a projecting
under lip becomes a positive deformity
in a silhouette. no matter how slight
it may be in the Observation-Disclosures Jour
nal.
