Mary HAD Little Lambhe True Story of Its Escapade and Useful End

Sawyer, and was at the school the
day the lamb followed her there. He
is one hundred and three years old.
According to Mr.. Powers, the lamb
in question was one of twins born in
her fathers stable. For some reason
the eve rejected one of them and
little Mary Sawyer. then eight years
old reared it.
One day the little lamb followed
Mary to school. The lamb was graz
ing in field when Mary started. 1t
was too far away for her to see, but
Mary called, and the lamb recog-
nizing her voice, began bleating and
at once came to her Mary and her
brother, Nathaniel, we're well on
their way when the lamb began fol-
lowing them. Mary wanted to take
the lamb back home, but Nat said
'Oh, no, let's take it to school," and
Mary consepted
When Mary and her brother
reached the schoolhouse yard their
teacher, Miss Polly Kimball had not
yet arrived Some of the scholars
were there, however, and these
crowded around the new pupil. They
were all much amused Mary was
in a quandary, for she did not wish
the teacher to know the lamb was at
school
Then there was commotion among
the children. They laughed aud twit-
tered and twisted and turned in
their seats. 1t was a strange sight

bones of his two legs touch one an.
other.
A good development of the muscles
of the back, chest and abdomen are
particularly necessary for grace of
form and movement This can only
be obtained by exercise and right
living.
When all the measurements have.
been laid down it must be said that
beauty cannot exist unless the figure
is inspired with grace and the poetry
of motion. The face, too, must be
intelligent and illuminated with the
yearning for the beautiful.
| have said that the man can be
more beautiful than the woman, put
he rarely is so. He should lead a
more primitive life. He should eat
simple, wholesome food and not
snatch two crullers and a cup Of pad
coffee for his lunch.
Dancing is the most precious of all
forms of exercise in producing grace
of body. Grace is sureness Of
motion, and this we acquire by dane
ing. The rhythm of the music, set
ting every movement of the body to
time, produces a harmonious mus
cular development.
in conclusion let me urge all boys
and young men to keep the Greek
ideal of beauty before them. Try to
be beautiful in your bodies, and in
your lives. Do not allow beauty, the
most precious thing in the world,
to be the monopoly OF one sex. II
we all loved true beauty the sin
and ugliness that disfgure humanity
would be impossible. The true lover
of beauty would never make his
fellow men do work that dishgures
their bodies.

49, the story of Mary and her lit
tie lamb. In this instance, grown-up
SkepticiSm is unwarranted.
There was a Mary who did have
little lamb whose fleece was as
white as snow and who did follow
Mary around wherever she did go.
What is more to the point, it did
follow her to school one day. which
was against the rule, which did
make the children laugh and play to
see the lamb at school.
And the teacher did turn ii out and
it did still linger near and waited pa
tiently about until Mary did appear.
Not only did Mary have a little
lamb, but she also had a half-cousin,
and although the little lamb is long
since dead, the half-couSin is still very
much alive. Having been an eye-wit-
ness of the incident, this half-cousin

ashamed of it. A man can
~" achieve greater perfection of
: beauty than woman. The large
head, with high, straight brow,
the broad shoulders, the slender hips,
the straight, strong legs of a beauti-
full man compare with the small head,
the narrow shoulders, the large hips,
the short legs, insecurity planted
on little feet, of a woman, beautiful
though she may be.
In this view | am supported by the
great majority of painters and sculp-
tors. The great appeal which beau
tiful woman makes to us arises large
ly from emotional and sentimental
causes, but for pure beauty of form
the man is superior.
My readers will doubtless wish to
hear what constitutes beauty in a
man. The first requisite is SYM
metry. This includes proper deveI-
opment, and harmony of features.
and above all, certain harmony be-
tween body and mind. To have a
beautiful body one must have beau
tiful mind.
We grow to resemble the thing we
admire, as Hawthorne has so finely
told US in his story, The Great Stone
Face" If We fix our minds on the
great classic ideals of beauty we
shall grow to resemble them. The
Greek type of beauty has set the
standard for all ages, and everyone
is more or less beautiful as he ap-
proaches this standard.
| believe the most perfect type of
manly beauty to be the Hermes of
Praxiteles, whom some of my
friends have been kind enough to
compare with me. The beauty of the
figure in this statue is Incompatible.
Another immortal type of classic
beauty is the Antinous, whose statue,
partly mutilated, stands in the Capt.
toline Museum at Rome.
Antinous, the favorite of the great
Emperor, Hadrian, is said to have
drowned himself in the Nile because
he realized his beauty must pass with
age.
The ideally beautiful man is tall
and straight, his height depending on
the race from which he springs. The
