WOMAN'S BEAUTY.
HAS BEEN SOLVED IN MANY
DIFFERENT WAYS,

| A French servant once said that a
sensible man never loved a girl mere
ly for her beauty but every lover ought
Ito be sensible enough to think the girl
beautiful. For, as Dryden exclaims:
When beauty fires the blood, how
love exalts the mind" and Romeo, the
most ardent of lovers asks:
Did my heart love till now? For
swear it sight;
For ne'er saw true beauty till this
might.
Though women in all stages of cul-
lture admire good looks as a quality to
awaken love- says the Chicago Tribune
good looks is a magnet that draws men
lmore than women. Darwin has shown
that among the lower species the fe-
male prefers the most vigorous, de-
lfiant, and mettlesome rnale"-a taste
he explains by the theory of selection.
1 An ardent appreciation of manly
strength and courage is found in all
lWomen, Especially this is true of saw
Eage races An Indian girl, singing of
her lover, says: My love is tall and
graceful as the young pine waving on
the hill, and as swift in his course as
the noble,l stately deer. His hair is
flowing and dark as the blackbird that
floats through the air, and his eyes
like the eagles are piercing and bright.
His heart it is fearless and great-and
his arm is strong in the fight
Il A Madagascar tale sings of princess
whose beauty fascinated all men, but
b the man she loved was young and
courageous. The lovely Atalanta gave
herself to the best runner, and many
. a hero has had to do daring feats to
win the hearts of worthy maids.
But a strange sutton is he who ex-
lpects the girl he loves to win races,
flight duels, catch and throw spears.
If she has beauty kindness Of heart
and manner, that Will suffice.
a Although in every land beauty helps
Ito awaken a feeling of love, beauty
/ differs greatly among different people,
A worthy pfoverb declares that most
E linen have a hard time accounting for
their conscience and their taste. This
laccounts for the facts that some men
:. admire blondes, others brunettes; some
women like men who are serious others
Iprefer such as are lively. 1t is probab-
" true. that beauty is no quality in
things themselves; 1t exists merely in
the mind which contemplates it, and
each mind perceiyes a different beauty.
The Australian aborigines are con-
sidered most unciviized when con-
trasted with European and American
linen, vet they have definite conceptions
8 of what real beauty Isl They care far
more for an attractive face than a good
figure. They pay special attention to
1.-THE part of the face above the eyes,
land they like to see q frank and open
d expression, and, better STILL wild
lock. If a woman is good looking all
the men want her, and the strongest is
the one who is usually victorious.
But every Australian girl wants and
is expected to have snub nose They
4 laugh at the sharp noses of Europeans
land call them "tonlahawk nosee;" they
are so proud Of their fiat and triangu-
lar shaped noses that they often pierce
them with d yellow stick for an orna-
lment. They tell strangers: t7s
What pity it is that English moth
ers pull their children's noses and
make them so frightfully long"
The women of western Queensland
3 are far more attractive, for their hands
are small and their feet well shaped,
with so high an instep that one wond-
lers where they developed this aristo-
leratic mark of beauty Their figures
i are oftentimes beautiful and their skin
lis like velvet. When these black daugh-
!. tiers of Eve smile and show their beau
i tiful white teeth, and when their eyes
!. glance coquettishly from beneath their
J curly hair, it is not difficult to under
! stand why their men consider them
! beautiful. a u
II Aff1at retreating brow and fiat fea-
: lures are not admired by men in civil
lization, but there are many people
: who consider this a decided mark of
: beauty. Hearne, who spent many years

ASK q, northern Indian what beauty is

small eyes and four or five broad black

chin.
i Far more important is it that they
are strong and sturdy, willing to do
most Of the hard work. IT,,
il There are good looking girls among
!, isome Indian tribes, though they are
flew in number. Finck, who gave much
time to studying them, says: Among
!, the thousands Of squaws I have seen
1 lon the Pacific Slope, form Mexico to
Alaska, I can only recall one con-
! slider really beautiful" Herbert Walsh,
speaking Of the girls at the Navajo
!, Indian school, writes: Among them
was one little Indian girl of striking
beauty, with fine dark eyes, regular
1modelled features and winsome
I smile."t.: am II -
But Dobrizhoffer says of the Api-
=, bones what Schoolcraft does of the
Greeks: Beauty has little value for
either SEX it is their. strength and
liability to work that count"
Though the Chinook Indians do not
marry their women for, their beauty,
they have decided views on this sub
lject. Their faces are fiat by nature
land they insist on having their heads
