EVERY GIRL PERFECT BEAUTY
Greatest Collection Of Pretty Women
In Town Of scanno. a Town lnno-

Rome.-Prof. Achille Lesia claims
to have found the greatest collection
Of beautiful women in the little Ital-
ian town Of Scanno. a place far dis
tant from railways and innocent of in
dustry.
II have travelled the world over"
he says, land Scanno is the only
place In the world where every
woman and girl is a perfect beauty.
They are of the most bewitching
classic Greek type. with deep black
eyes. fine shoulders, and well pro-
%portioned hands and feet, just such
wonders of perfection as 80 years.
ago | found in the women of Barase.
That was before the commercial
spirit was implanted there.
For Is years Barase has been q
center Of lace-making and the women
there o are hard featured. bony.
sloppy and ugly. Before this town
was cursed with industry. it's women.
though poor, were famous for their
beauty of form and face and rich Ital-
ians used to hire nurses from that
neighborhood. Today no one would
look at q nurse a second time from
that industry cursed town."
