IS THIS YOUR TYPE2
THE VENUS IDEAL.
By MARIE LaRooUE.
Copyright. 1890, Mcclure syndieats.)

THE VENUS IDEAL.
In every race and in every age
there are certain women-so they
say-who belong to the Venus type
1t was natural for women of the
pagan Greeks and Romans to be-
' 'lieve that the goddess of love had
singled them out from other women
for her own, and, regardless of their
station or lot in life. had bestowed
upon them peculiar physical charm
and appeal. Balzac, the great
French novelist, seems to me one
;of the moderns who held to this
theory and Adeline in "Cousine
Bette" was, he tells us, "one of those
perfect and striking beauties-in-
ished with peculiar care by nature,
who bestows on them all her choic-
est Standardization, dignity. grace,
refinement, elegance. flesh of a su-
lperior texture, and a complexion
mingled in the unknown laboratory
where good luck presides. These
beautiful creatures" he goes on to
say. all have something in COM
mon: Blanca Capello. whose por-
trait is one of Bronzino's master
pieces; Jean Goujon's Venus, painted
from the famous Diane de Poitiers.
Signora Olympia, whose picture
adorns the Doria gallery; Ninon.
Madame du Barry, Madame Tallien,
Mile. Georges, Madame Recamier-
all these women-have In figure,
fame and in the character Of their
beauty certain striking resemblance,
enough to make one believe that
there is in the ocean of generations
an Aphrodisian current when every
such Venus is born, all daughters of
the same salt wave"
You might suppose that when any
one was called a Venus she was of
the Venus de Milo cast, but such is
not actually the case. To be sure
the Venus de Milo, besides showing
an almost perfect body, shows the
highest type Of classical face -
smooth brow. straight, we'll formed,
sensitive nose. delicately rounded
but hrm chin. full, well-turned lips,
large, level, well-set eyes. But the
Venus de Milo is suggestive Of the
strong, robust. out-of-doors type.
type OF woman at all that novelists
Ana 1t Is not necessarily an athletic
and poets have had in mind when
ehcy Nuouco tnelr nerOlneS NeuuSeS.
That the ancient goddess had
golden or reddish hair seems always
to be agreed upon. 1t was abso-
lutely certain that she had a glori-
Gus complexion and a graceful fig-
ure.
To Balzac's list of historic venuses
might be added Agnes Sorrel. ia
vorite of King Charles VII of
France, whom Voltaire in la Pu-
celle' speaks Of as having had "the
grace serene of all-enchanting
Venus"
Here is a description Of her:
"A pure and modest brow the glass
shows to her ardent gaze;
A brow, where Ger each temple
white, the swelling tress dis
plays
The golden glory Of her hair, and
underneath II shine
Two eyes, whose noiseless lightning
smies the soul with awe divine.
Lo, too. the mirror fond reveals each
cheek where rosy red
Is Ger the, liiy's snowy white in
softest luster spread,
The pouting mouth, in dimples rich,
whose lips of coral curl
Over two Whitley cleaning rows of
Oriental pearl" .

PETITION GOES uNHEEDED

ture:
We the undersigned, citizens and
taxpayers of Arkansas, respectfully
request the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives not to enact any more
laws taxing our homes and lands with.
out a petition from a majority of the
taxpayers effected.
IF however, any more laws are en-.
acted, we respectfully ask that the
emergency clause to be left off and
that they be enacted in such a way
that we may have the benefit of the
referendum.
I'VE respectfully call your attention
to the constitutional provision that all
laws are subject to the referendum ex-
cept those which are Immediately nee.
essary for the preservation of the
public peace, health and safety. No
one will contend that any of these
measures are necessary for either.
Laws have been enacted, we think,
in violation Of Amendment No. 10 of
the Constitution, and we earnestly and
request that the emerg-
ency clause be not attached to any law
taxing land"
If any attention is being given to the
petition, it is not apparent in the pro-
ceedings of the House.

WASHINGTON Feb. 4-Treaty rati

adopt a cloture If necessary, and Dem
Ocratic assistance in the passage OF
