of the Venusienne, but rather the opposite, and bordered with

their movements, ller nose finishes In a point, with slender
nostrils, almost closed; the mobile month Is relieved with
Indentures; t ho ey- Is dark and Its expression lively.
The Martienne Like Marie Antoinette.
The Mart lenni- Is none the less easily known. She lias
nose and chin equally lows, striking, and curved. Hers is
tiie typo of the famous Marie Antoinette. Iter large eye looks
'"lit forward, without a wink. Just as an archer regards
h. vi'tjet. In the daughters of the sun and of Jupiter the
upl A slightly curtains the lower lip. as In classic faces;
hcrt nowever, the sl. tub r Hps close over a large mouth, and
the lower Up, as In the mouths of the llapsburgs. advances
a little beyond the upper.
The Marttentit Is ruddy and swift; the Saturnienne Is pale
ami slow. Itriiwn, tall, slender, and of sad aspect, her entire
face and figure is lengthened out In hauteur. You recognize
her by her nunc, which Is not brusiiuely arched and prominent
like that of the Mirtleiine. but large. Mat. and pointed. And
this nose reaches to within a short distance of the mouth.
yHf Venus Known by Roundness of Figure.
Venus is recognized by lu-r cherry mouth, tiny, round, and
red. the lower Up furrowed In the center; her starlight
glance, her smiling eyes with arched brows, but above all
by the roundness of her tltfurc and all her members, and the
liarmony of her gestures. They say she was made In a mold.
Her ear Is quite little, her chin round and dimpled, and her
shoulder sloped.
The maid of the union has a round figure, gentle blue eyes,
a tiny nose, slightly crooked In the middle and rounded at
the end, u, tiny, round, passive chin, and all her Mesh Is white
and soft. She Is silent, a little awkward, and with an air
ol wakened drowsiness. Venus can be the counselor of her
husband, the moon never; she Is always a satellite.
A large face with strong features, solid chin, and large
brown eyes characti-rlr.es the daughter of the earth.
These are the fundami ntal physical types as they appear
when unalloyed, and each slgnltles Its own mental type.
Daughter of Jupiter Commands.
The Jupiter woman Is d.-voted above all things to the
world, and generally to command It. She Is ambitious and
honorable. Kavorlng odds accompany In r destinies; she loves
riches and she Is given to prodigality with her money. Hin
ts an incomparable mistress of a house. She fias more dash
and animation than distinction. She rules, however, slightly
extravagant, spreading good feasts, ev.r ready with her
laughter, having a mind for hierarchy, and. preferring the
summit of hierarchy, she Is a representative wife for an
official. In any event she will be most useful to the career
and advancement of her husband.
If Venus envelops with her gentleness this magnificent

benevolence itself: she is Impressionable, frank, candid; she
has few faults, and, bringing Into hi r world the reason of
Jupiter with the goodness of V nils, she wins It with her
naivete and ufTectlon. Still she Is not exempt from weak
nesses. Daughter of the Sun Is Quiet.
The daughter of the sun has unite as much sense, more
perspicacity, more distinction, and less gayety; she Is beau
tiful, Intelligent, beaming, and laughs little. She has reserve
and pride. She Is the wife for a statesman or diplomat. If
the Jupiter woman would make an excellent ofllcer's wife,
Ihe sun woman would make a matchless consort for an am
bassador. She would no less be a tit and fair companion for
an artist, a poet, a thinker. Hut there must be some pomp or

union of Venus with the sun; such unions lire so rare, but
they are incomparable. Joining the reason of the sun with the

how to love with nobleness; these are Beatrice, I.anra. or
Mine. Recamler.

HENCHMEN are in a state o terror. The men

Is a flutter of hope and exp i tancy among the
women of the repfibllc. For France proposes a
law that will compel French husbands to lovo
their wives.
Worse than that, in their eyes, It is proposed
to do away with the mercenary "dot."
Tills revolutionary Idea which threatens to idiake the
foundations of French society Is proposed by the parlia
mentary committee which Is at work on the new French code.
Whether It will be retroactive and force Frenchmen now
married to love their spouses under pain ol tines or Imprison
ment, or whether It will m- rely require tha every Frenchman
hereafter married must love bis wife Is a question that Is slir
Ing up vivid Interest. In some quarters the proposed law is
declared In violation of tin- rights of man. impossible, and
limon.-U It lit loiml. while the women of France, who want their
husbands to love them, are applauding wildly the bold Idea of
a playwright-lawmaker who urges the bill upon the parlia
mentary committee.
Compulsory Love Instead of "Esteem."

of " esteem, succor, and tldi lity."
law May Increase Birth Rate.
Scientists are deeply .nterested 111 the proposed law, hav
ing an eye on Its possible effect upon the dwindling birth rate
of France. It Is declared that If the element of love between
husband and wife l necessary under the law a great pr.-ix.r-tlon
of those who wed will uUy the law and there will be a
marked Increase In the birth rale.
The revolutionary proposition upsetting the traditions of
France, established after the other revolution is advanced
by Paul Hervleu, the emlnint dramatist, who also Is a states
man and politician. He propounded his Ideas before the par
liamentary committee, suggesting them in the form of an
.tide in the new code, and he nut with strong support by
e men and enthusiastic applause from the women on the
ground that It Is 111 the interests morality for the lit to
