Laugh we will and lest of it,

are the proper proportions" for
which we are striving.
Women who are correctly proper
toned, and neither too fat nor too
lean, are few in number 1t may not
be amiss to give some idea of the cor
rect proportion of the features and
the body. The head should be one
seventh of the body. The nose, fore
head and chin Of equal length. The
distance between the eyes the length
of the eye. The distance from the in
ner angle of the eye to the dividing
line of the lips should measure from
two and one-quarter to two and one
half inches.
A woman of feet should weigh

A woman of 5 feet 1 inch should
