American Women's Heads.
From Eyerybody's Magazine

The Greeks believed that the length of
woman's head should be one-eighth her total
height. American women's heads average
longer in proportion. Some foolish student
of Greek art announced that this bigness
was all wrong, and that the American wO-
is, of course. that the American women
have bigger brains than the Greek women
had, and need more room for them, and
anyway. If you take the American woman
for the standard the Greek statues will be
found to be all out of proportion. Discre
ton and experience impel us to decide In
favor of the American woman.
