London. April l9-The Wells-Mo-

House. in which Bombardier Wells,
the English champion, added yet an
other to the dramatic defeats of his

boxing matches instead of being
with the British army at the front.
I'VE do not wish to criticise
Wells" remarks the Daily Chronicle,

famous opponent, Carpenter. is now
serving with the colors in France,

in fit state to 60 into the field"

HARD TO DEFINE Bssj71
Subject on Which Races and Nations
Have Never Been Able
to Agree.

That which is beautiful is always

but much that the world in general
counts as pretty is anything but beau.
tiful to the esthetic eye.
Prettiness is of the face and obvi.
Gus, but beauty is of the soul and,
therefore. more subtle. Some very
crudely colored calendars will appeal
to many as being beautiful. though to
the cultured eye they are far from
suggestive of grace in either tone or
form.
There have been many attempts to
define beauty, yet 1t cannot be said
that any definition has thrown much
light upon the subject. 1t manifests
itself in such an infinite variety Of
forms, though there is a general agree
ment that its highest expression Is In
the female form divine. Even here the
diversity is SO extensive that the peo-
pies of no two races. let alone nations,
have ever agreed upon the same type.
The Madonna of the worlds artists
are striking instances of the different
conceptions of the utmost spiritual
grace.
This much is certain; mere tpretti-
ness. whether in woman, painting,
sculpture, music. poetry or literature,
Is either primal or artificial harmony
in nowise pleasing to those who have
come to know the best And much of
that best is not SO very difficult to ap-
preciate. 1t is largely a matter Of
education and of habit. Some people
perceive harmony with readiness in
certain forms and are yet oblivious to
it in others. There are color-blind mu-
sicians and stone-deaf sculptors.
