The young woman is not too tall but Of ideal height
Her letter is published to encourage other tall girls
Don't you know, young lady, that If all girls were
short the human would be smaller and smaller until
we should be pygmesthen who would do the work?
The human race is kept well balanced because there are
tall men to marry short girls and tall girls to marry short
men,
Men are responsible for the foolish notion that tiny
little woman possesses charms lacking in woman In the
neigborhood Of six feet tall That dates from time when
the bridegroom carried of his bride by force
It is still the fashion in savage countries for the
bridegroom to knock down the young lady and carry her
away to prove his manly character and make her submissive
i, With those habits prevailing, the girl not weighing
much was convenient easy to carry. Many men lacked
energy and strength to carry bride through the wood
This made the little woman popular at one time
Then you know have a false idea Of marriage many
women also.
They have thought that there ought be physical and
mental power on the mans side and helpless pretnes on
the other.
We know better now. With woman suffrage and educa-
ton it ought to be fifty fifty of the theatr
cal trust used to say
For the tall girl all facts are favorable You know that
Nancy Hanks mother of Lincoln, nearly or quite SIX
feet tall
The mother of Charlemagne of the worlds great
est men, called Bertha with the Big Feet, which
that she tall woman for big feet go with
great height You have bend certain amount OF
the length to give the body something to stand on.
Catherine of Russia, first humble camp follower then
Empress who brbed the Turkish generals and saved her
gigantic husband Peter the Great tall woman, and
everybody passing looked small to her.
There stands in magnificent room, all by herself, in
the Palace of the Louvre Paris the most beautiful woman
in all the world She lived than two thousand
ago. She lives in marble made immortal by great
sculptor She the Venus d Milo Armless mutated she
is taller the young who writes this letter. the
Venus of Milo is the most inspiring magnificent and inter-
esting EARTH in spite of her being ony marble
The only to compare with her is Michael Angeles
Moses, at Rome.
Some would prefer the famous Venus Accroupie bend
ing over so prettiy with her cunning dmped hands, little
ankles and underszed body But the queen of all art past
and present, is the tall Venus of Milo.
Nothing is more pitiful than to tall young or
girls bending over drawing in their shoulders ashamed Of
the noble height that Nature has given them.
The greatest triumph Of the human achieved
when learned painfully to stand its hind feet looking
the top of the for its enemies and toward
the stars to wonder about them
Foolish men only conceive littleness itself charm
1t isn't
Bigness lttleness does not count The things that
in girl before others, are the answers to these
questions:
ARE YOU FOND OF CHILDREN?
you realize that it the highest duty to protect the
weak and possible add good samples to the earths popu
lation?
ARE YOU UNsELF1sH AND DEVOTED, patient with
mans stupidity but not TOO patient?
If any foolish young criticses your height young
lady tell him he is descendant of those that didn't have
the energy strength to marry tall wife, and picked
out little And add Some admire squaty cabbages
other lofty pine trees. I am a lofty pine tree
