"a father or mother whose leg has
been amputated certainly will not
have a child with a malformed leg.
You could cut. off a leg from each
parent through hundreds Of gener-
atoms without affecting the offspring.
Beauty Of line, in leg, arm, neck
or face, arouses admiration, because
there is implanted in human nature a
love of the beautiful, and the human
figure, especially the female figure,
contains the lines that especially ap-
peal. Artists prefer to work from the
nude because the beauty of line and
cQloring Of the female body is unsur
passed.
Because of this, men will always
seek as mates beautiful women; just
as women will tend to select mates
who are strong and manly. In this
way, by a process of natural selection,
the trace will always tend toward the
strong and beautiful.
"Those who mate, therefore, are
more likely to improve the race from
the standpoint of beauty and strength
than otherwise.
$50 long as men admire beauty of
form in women. there is nc danger of
degeneration Of women's legs, arms,
Or body"
