The Beauty Corner.

Womanly beauty is about as rare as
birds with four legs according to an
Italian or wealth and title who has
just published some interesting stat
fsticS in La Roma. According to this
Italian statistician, among the French
only one woman in every $500 has any
claim to beauty; his own race yields "A
possible one in every 1900; Spanish
women of beauty come in the same
proportion. The German women he re-
fuses to consider beautiful at all. Eng
land. he says. has the greatest num-
unmixed blood. the percentage being
one in every 1900.
The conservative Italian critic re-
fuses to consider Americans as race.
because, he says, they are too poly
glot. Considering the one city of New
ork, however, he finds there are more
beauties than in any foreign city
about one in every 1900. And by
beauties he says. he does not mean
perfect beauties" by any means. He
means merely those with a few good
features and no eccentricity to mar
them The cruelty of this Italian gem
tleman whose only distinction has been
gained by his present statistics. seems
at first glance to be wholly un-ChriSt-
ian. AT best, he can only pick out the
women who are beautiful according
to his own standards. We are sure tina [
there are no women who are not deem
ed beautiful by somebody or other;
therefore all must be beautiful One
