THE CRUEL PROFILE.

One reason why more front-view
portraits than proffles are seen in
painting and in photography is sug-
gested by Mr.. Wilfred A. French in the
Photo-Era. Comparatively few faces
can stand the test of a side view,
which may reveal a nose not built on
lines of architectural beauty, an alb
normally long upper lip or poorly
carved mouth.
Mr.. French is inclined to think that
King George ", whose profile is to ap-
pear on the new issue of British cur
rency and postage stamps, is entitled
to sympathy. Profile portraits are
gen orally put on coins because they
are more enduring than the front
view, and ''the receding forehead and
chin and the huge projecting nose of
the Georges, which impart to these
royal countenances an expression akin
to imbecility," are emphasized in the
side view. The long-pointed nose of
Frederick the Great, far in advance of
the rest of his face and forming a
sharp angle with it. is another in
stance of the cruelty of the profile
