"Slenderness is the ideal at which to
aim; but not to the point of scrawniness,"
the artist explained. There is no beauty
in a skeleton. Unfortunately, many young
girls nowadays imagine that 1t is desir-
able to be skinny That is bad mis-
take. At their age it is norma! to be
underwelght; to Starve themselves in such
a case. with the idea of cultivatng a boy
ish figure, is injurious to health and
destructive of good looks
However, that is merely passing fad.
The process which we are now privileged
to observe, in the development Of new
and more beautiful type of wonanhOod
i properly to be regarded a. one of
evolution. The aim toward which it tends
is that of a perfect normality, which
means slenderness with a due covering
of flesh for wcll-cOnstructcd bOny
framewoEk.
AT no period in history have there
been so many pretty women as there are
today. That may seem vcnturcSOme
statement. yet am confident Of ITS truth.
Certainly at no time within recent cen
turtles. or since the fall of thu ancient
Mediterranean civilizations, has 50 much
attention been paid to feminine pulchri-
tude Beauty has become a cult.
There mas been much criticism Of the
'lmmOdesty' Of women'S dress al the pres
ent time, practically all Of it by the elder
generations. shocked by exposures which
in their youth would have been regarded
as grossly indecent" Mr.. Dykdar CON

than their grandmothers and grvat-grand-
mothers we're at corresponding ages. They

proved and admired by the men; were it
otherwise, they would change 1t.
THE question has often been asked,
and much disputed, whether women dress
to please the men or to please women.
The answer is that they dress to please
the men. and in rivalry with other women.
Women wear short skirts and lob their
hair because the men like to see them
that way. If the men preferred long
skirts and long hair, both would soon
lengthen.
The same remark applies to the use
of cosmetics. On that score there is
great deal of criticism. But it : manifest
that men generally approve their use,
else women would employ them much less.
They think the girls look prettier touched
up with powder and rouge; and, undeni-
ably. many plain girl acquires by such
means at least a semblance of beauty.
Better a mere semblance than no beauty
at all.
Taking these facts into view. | am in
cllned to believe that cosmetics will be
used more and more generally as time
goes on. Women are bound to make them
selves look as men like them. The greater
the appreciation of the value of beauty,
the more the effort to enhance it.
But the proper use of cosmetics is
fine art, which the women of today. par
ticularly American girls, have not yet ac-
CURED. Too much powder and rouge is
worse than none. An obvious mask of
what in old times was called 'anameH is
uglfying, and may even be ktGeous in
bright daylight. The bright color of young
lips is crimson; to paint them scarlet is
to make them look altogether I'M
natural.
After all. our modern conceptions in
relation to the improperly of nudity are
mainly conventional" said the sculptor.

mark and Holland they easily double the
yield of our cows.
The average American COW produces
1000 pounds of milk, containing 100
pounds of butter fat, in twelve-mOnth.
Scientists say that this is not quarter
enough.
There are of course in the country a
great many cows that produce five or six
times that quantity, but these are high
efficiency animals, pedigreed stock devel-
Oped by scientific breeding. They do moth
ing to destroy the argument of the dairy
bureau, its experts say. They only Illus
trate the possibilities Of the COW as a milk
making machine and form standard to
which to work up the average.
Our milk cows are not good enough.
They have been developed largely from
an ancestry intended primarily for beef.
We have too few thorOughbreds. The
COW population of the United States to-
day numbers approximately 25,OOO,OOO.
Fewer than one million of these-let US
say , per ccnt-are pure-brcd dairy
animals.
Although we have in this country some
Of the very best cows in the world, IT Is
the relatively low average production and
low efficiency of American cows that pre-
SCENTS the most serious problem in our
dairy industry to-day.
We are not improving them as rapidly
as we ought. Their numbers are increas-

ing, bat not quite keeping pace with the
growth Of our population.
A plan now in contemplation is to eS-
tablish herd, for experimental breeding
purposes to find out about the principles
fundamentals involved in the breeding of
cows for milk production.
SO the Government is now undertaking
a comprehensive study of the cow as a
milk producing machine. 1t is trying to
find out just how the animal converts her
food into milk; and. ~ particular, why
one COW SURPRISES another in milk yield
and percentage of butter-fat.
In this study the COW is being consid-
cred as a piece of mechanism. Figura-
lively speaking she is being taken to
pieces. Her digestive organs are of prime
Importance. The structure of the udder is
carefully examined.
The experts have even gone so far as
to make a life-sZc model Of a cow, with
glass arteries and vpns-the arteries Of
red glass and the veins of blue glass-to
illustrate the circulation of the blood. The
animals heart, ingcniOusly cOntrived
from rubber bag, palpitates in lifelke
manner under the action of an air-pump.
The total milk produced by the cows of
the United States during the present year
will exceed one hundred and ten billion
pounds. That seems a lot, but if all our
the output would be many times as much.

exposure of the human body a wicked
ness; the body was thing TO ne
ashamed of and covered up. This strange
idea has been handed down to us through
great many generations, and not
until now have we begun to get rid
of it.
"In the early days of the Church 1t was
understood that the mere possession OF a
beautiful feminine shape was rather
wicked, because men were thereby tempt
ed. That notion is not yet dead. We find
a survival of it in the idea that the female
leg is a naughty part of wOman's anatomy
and ought to be hidden from view. But
the hiding of it by long skirts made it a
scx-suggestive mystery, so that fifty years
ago men at club windows would crane
their necks to see an accidentally revealed
ankle on a muddy day.
"Therc are styles in beauty, as in every
thing else In the times of Louis the
Fourteenth and Charles the Second, and
later, in the days of George the Fourth,
all through long period, it was deemed
requisite that women should be buxom and
heavily built A glance at the painted
portraits of that epoch will show that the
famous beauties were all of that type. In
effect, they were made to order, to suit
the taste of the men.
But the mems taste has undergone
radical alteration. They have come TO
