Remember the art Of ancient 0reecef"
they say. There were sculptors who
knew art! So we'll knew they art that
they carefully draped the lower extrem-
tiles of the Venus of Milo, the last word
in the lexicon Of female beauty of form!
And why? Because the secret of beauty
in the human form lies in the perfection
Of curves governing its outlines. And the
curves of the female leg are not curves
at all, they are bumps! 1t may be ar
gued that bump is a kind of curve.
Trouble is it's the wrong kind. TOO
rash, too ill-devised, too sudden" as
Juliet remarked about something quite
different.
In other words. they suggest that the
female leg comes as a shock to the sys-
tenn instead Of stealing gently upon the
consciousness like a subtle melody or
perfume. They say nothing of the male
leg. Which ID little pulsling. seeing
