Mr, Darwin belleves that the general beauty of the Eoglish upper class, and especially of the tilled aristocracy, 13 probably dae to their constant selection of the most beautiful women of all classes (peeresses, actresses, or wealthy bourgeolse) as wives Ubrough an Immense nuin- ber of generations. The regular features and the complexions of the mothers are naturally handed down by heredity to their descendants. Similarly, It would seem that we must account for the high average of personal beaaty among | the anctent Greeks and,the modern Italians by the bigh average of general taste, the strong love of the beautifal diffused among all classes In both those races. The prettter women and the handsomer mon would stand a better chance of marrying, other things equal, and of handing down thelr own retiaed type of face and ilgure to thetr children. If this be so— and evolutionists, at least, can hardly doubt it—then we should expect’ everywhere to find the general level of personal beauty highest 5 taste. Now, our own squalid poor are nott able, a3 a rule, for their absolute and repul ugliness, even when coipared with tho: other European countries. Gaunt, hara-taced women, low-browed, bull-dog looking men, sickly, shapeless children, people tae back slums of our manufacturing towns. Their painful ugliness cannot all be due to their physical circumstances alone—for the lazzaront who hang about the streets of Naples must lead lives of about equal hardship and discom- fort—yet many of them, both men and women, are beautiful enough to sit a3 models for @ Leonardo.
