from generation to generation; women
serve merely as carriers It is the
male human being, in other words
that is responsible for the perpetuation Of
this attribute, deemed by all females of
the species to be the most desirable He
thus engenders the means of his own I'M
doing; for wOmen's beauty is the power
he is least able to resist.
It is, then, to be inferred that the per
petuation of beauty in women is one of
the most important, SthOugh unconscious,
aims of masculine inheritance its sue
cess is, in a degree, controlled by condi-
tions far more complex than might at
first glance be supposed.
The individual man las often happens)
may have no beauty to give to his daught-
tiers. It is not his fault, but a misfortune
Of his ancestry. One notes that plain
women run in families. On the other
hand, if he be handsome, he may bequeatR
his good looks to some Of his daughters,
and not to others.
Again, in such a case, it is a matter of
heredity. He may inherit comeliness
from his mother derived from her
father, and yet his own father may have
been a homely man. In him the homeli-
ness Of his father does not appear: II
is hidden" trait. But in some of his
daughters it reappears.
This explains the fact that in some
families there are pretty sisters and plain
sisters. 1t often, indeed commonly, hap
pens that way.
But suppose that the father has a "dou-
BILE dose" Of beauty, derived from hand
some male ancesors and a mother whose
father was notably good-looking. In that
case every one of his daughters will be
pretty. II is a sure thing

Well, the original Ptolemy was one Of
the generals Of Alexander the Great and,
according to good evidence, brother Of
the cOnqueror. When the conquerOr died
the empire he had created began to fall TO
pieces. Ptolemy was sent to Egypt as
governor, and not long afterward he de-
clared himself king
This Ptolemy was a very skillful mill
tary leader and was also reputed the hand
soonest man of his day. The dynasty he
founded lasted nearly 800 years and was
remarkable for good looks-barring the

hornes Of Virginia. One Of. them mar
ried Charles Dana Gibson; another is the
wife of young Waldorf Astor, now an
officer in the British army. There were
five of them, and they could not help be-
ing beautiful, for their father was a very
handsome man, and their mother the
daughter of a race which in the male line
had had a reputation for exceptionally good
looks for at least half a dozen genera
tiOns.
Here was a conspicuous case Of a
complex inheritance of beauty. On the other
hand, of course, there are plenty Of in
stances of a double dose of LONELINESS
which would satisfactorily account for the
run Of plain women, generation after gen
Grafton, in many a family.
Summed up, the idea is this: If a man
has a single dose Of beauty, he may expect
to bequeath it to half his daughters. If he
have a double dose, he may be confident
that all of them will be beautiful
Now, the moral of all this is sufficiently
obvious, in its application to matrimony.
If a woman would insure pulchritude fos
her girls yet to be born, she ought to pick
out a husband Gf possible) whose grand
fathers on both sides of the family were
good looking.
Anybody's immediate and personal Obser-
vatiOn will furnish plenty Of support for
the statements of fact herein set forth.
Take, for illustration, any family that yOu
know wherein there are a number OF chill

boys not? In that case take note Of the
father. He is a handsome man, is he not?
And the motheT-is she not rather decided
ly plain?
Nothing is more common than to see an
ugly man with a beautiful sister. But can
you think Off-hand Of any markedly homely
man whose daughters are notably hand
some?
Such a thing does happen occasionally,
through accidents of inheritance, but 1t is
unusual. And where II occurs, you will
find that the mans father, or perhaps his
mothers father, was handsome. In him

By Rene Bache.

- CIENCE has been investigating beauty
and has discovered some surprising
and interesting facts about that most
desirable human quality.
Perhaps the most remarkable conclusions
reached are that beauty usually descends
through the male line rather than the
female and that a mother does not ordi-
narily transmit her beauty to her daugh-
ters." These conclusions are the result Of a
line of research pursued by the heredity
experts of the Carnegie Institution and
other scientists.
One prominent beauty expert summar-
rized the facts observed by him as follows:

The proposition, however, is much more
complex than the above statement would
suggest There is such"a thing as what
might be called, in a family, a double

girl might be glad to take. What does
that signify?
Well, for example, suppose the case Of
woman who has inherited beauty from her
father. She marries,a man whose mother
enjoyed a like inheritance. There you
have a double dose of beauty. All of the
offspring of the marriage. both daughters
and sons, will be handsome.

their experience during the past year
has peculiarly fitted them to handle
the new registration economically

General Crowder has estimated
that probably three quarters Of q

American Army by the new registra-
tion. His estimate Is based on the
fact that almost 10.000.000 men
registered last year. This number
included all between the ages OF

by General Crowder's office show
that little more than 10 per cent
Of these men were II years old. On
