No Typical American Beauty.
From the Bohemian


The American type of beauty? Is It
heresy to say boldly there is none? And
such is the fact, but fact over which we
may shake hands with ourselves. There
is no distinctive type of American girl,
despite our highly imaginative ilustra-
tors. nor in the very nature Of things can
there be one. Gibson's creations, Chris

from the stock of a dozen commingied
tribes. We are composite people and
we have within our national confines q
vast variety of types contributed by
nearly every race and cline of earth The
typical American beauty has not yet ar

many social problems have been solved
and the result of our advancing education,
our increasing freedom of living and our
molding of new social conditions have all
been merged into a concrete and solidi-
fed state of national existence. 1t is this
interesting complexity of our life that
makes for the development Of the innu-
merable species of feminine beauty dis
coverable in every state of the Union.
