To answer this question H Is first neekseary to define: "What la feminine beauty?" It i ftrst of all everything woman which delights our eyea and charms our aouL Now. It tha eternal feminine new ceases to change. It is Terr ur to pro that tha eternal masculine la also subject to a constant volution. ,-Our way of looking upon beauty will change, not only because woman never ceases to cbaase. bat also because man's Ideas of woman change Just as do wo man Mean of men. Too qualities of an admired object first of all depend on the subject that admires the nr.' . Beauly Is 'not subject to Inflexible laws. Their terms vary according to surround in ca and epochs. Wa are all still Influenced by the Meals of Oreek art. Wa often find n woman beautiful breaum her forma and features would hare made Phidias or PrxzitrUn con sider her so. ClasfflcaJ scolpture ban left a powerful Impmmoa on the art and artiste of all tinea. It Is through the ejree of too artists that we Judge even today. Not being able to admlra the nuda human form which exposed Itaelf liberally under the clear akies of Ural is. wo sea It only aa -It was aeon by Its great artists. Still tha centuries that separata aa from those days kaTe wrought certain changea In too physio logical structure of woman. Certain piastie forma, considered aa absolutely necessary or essential to beauty, have changed. 1 The Greek woman Incarcerated in the gynaeceum received no education,' while women of today often is too mental equal of the male worker. Tha wealth of ideaa and facta which ber brain con tain baa enlarged her skull. Her fore head baa grown taller and broader and the law of physiological co-ordination has caused several other structural changea of her bead... Women of today cannot possibly be identical in form and shape with tha woman of old Athena and Sparta. in time we will realise this and. great though the. Influence of. Greek art is. It will gradually craee to. exert Itself am points wboroiit elaabea with the ideas of modern Ufa and tha Ideals twhica aoafl arise. But-Greek? art will never have ex ulted la vain. The Immortal' breath of antique beauty wilt continue to vivify the art of tomorrow aa It doea- inspire art' of today, 'but It will not be allowed to smother It la a too tlcht embrace. The Idea of beauty doea not allow any codification. It evolves. Baaed oa life. It must follow life closely. The changes m the social " and " moral conditions of humanity will bring about the triumph of another Meal of womanly beauty. It will be neither a superior nor Inferior to that of Pelycletes or'Praxiteies, It will ba somewhat more, for it will have conformed to tha evolution of woman and the changed taste of man. Beauty haa Its historical phases Just like any other branch of our . material ex istence. This la a point we must not over look. Ttie law of the never changing propor tions of the humarr form, which has bora called tne'eanoa of beauty, la a mere fic tion, i It varies with the savants and ar tists. There have been about a hundred eanona of beauty from the days of the old Egyptians until our days, and these are very far from being Identical According to the most famous canon of Polyrletea, the length of the head should be about one-eighth of the height I of the whole body, divided Into three j juaj pans irom the hair to the root of tha nose, from there to the point of the nose, and from the point of the nose again to the point- of the - chin. The other canons approach that of Pulvcletee more or less, even if they vary somewhat. Tha law of proportions only deals wtth a certain normal type, which, however, varies arordtng to the surroundings that produce It. The beauty of the body doea not consist In harmonious measures of Ita different parts. There ta first the symmetry between ' the right and left aide of ourorganlsm, which brutally de stroys all preconceived Ideas. Then there la tha Indisputable fact that a woman may possess Ideal physical proportions and Mill ba ugly or lack charm. One must not r trust too Implicitly In the conceptions, of perfect beauty aa seen by artists. ' Tha Judgment of these is Influenced by their aenllmenta and soul, which, are more dependent on the customs and way of thinking of their time than of tha demands of Meal canon. Aa 8imonetta Catanea, the mistress of Julius of . Medici, was a consumptive, Botticelli, who. Immortalised her fea tures and form In his Florentine Venus, impoeed upon a whole epoch a cult of sloping shoulders, a long - neck and a narrow and flat chest Tha symptoms of ' lacking , health became to many incomparable-artists signs of beauty. The change In the education of women will bring about i other Incarnations of the .beautiful. Woman will undoubtedly become taller and stronger, but she will not ceaea to ba graceful. Some imper fect epedmena of thla coming type of beauty are already seen among tha four hundred of New York. Tha same typo la found among certain professional beautlea In Europe who show charm, strength,, agility and Intelligence, but whose beauty la radically different from that chiselled by the sculptor at ehl Hellas. i. Beauty la Immortal only by tha imnreaw slon It produces and will produce on timed who sea it. It la always changing and tap means by which It fascinates and ehanna men are different now from what, they were. , Some people love a very largo nose, but tha Tartars, want the ansa to be aw inconspicuous . as possible. Whila tsss European rare consjoers a white coav plaxion beautiful, tha numerous i iihsafl races of Africa, r America, Asia and Australia think tt ugly. The Chinese sea ao beauty without a yellow tfeio, to, Indians want tt red.
