WENDEL should have been taken 3.50 30 «eNO. 16,996 ; more seriously when he says that i man naturally is and should be i more beautiful than women. In- Fi] stead of the comic remarks with - which this assertion has been greet- t ed it should be regarded scientifi- } cally. 5 On the average are not men | more beautiful than women? i Look up and down a street car HM and note how few beautiful wome: # Hi there are. Take a front seat at the x theatre an{ look back over the audience. Are there more beautiful men / or more beautiful women? ‘3 Of course the answer depends greatly upon how beauty is defined _ and what it consists in, whether it means good looking, pretty, fine look- E ing, charming or what. If beauty is defined as loveliness no men are i beautiful, for a man ceases to be lovely when he enters at the age of six '— or seven upon the freckled period of boyhood. Neither is a man pretty if he is thoroughly masculine, because preiti is a feminine quality. If beauty means symmetry, the personification of strength and po’ ér, the concrete expression of nature, then it is quite safe to assert there are more beautiful men than beautiful women. More men than women carry themselves well. They do not so often overdress. When s sful they display it in their bearing rather than in physical ornamentation. Fewer of them are fat. Almost none are artificial in the color of their hair, their complexion or their figures. Beautiful women of any age are rare. Pretty, there are in plenty. Any young girl who is not pretty has herself to blame, far her natural color, her natural hair, her grace and charm are impaired only by some act of her own, usually in the foolisi: trying to improve upon nature. What Dr. Wendel probably referred to is the fact that in all forms of life except man the male animal is the more pulchritudinous. That is ‘Decause the male is the pursuer. He seeks the favors of the female. He; dominates her. He makes himself attractive for her. He fights for her} favors. The weaker rooster is driven from the barnyard, the weaker buck | is chased from the herd. Nature’s process of selection eliminates the weaker and less handsome males. | In the human race in civilized countries this is re Savages men continue to adorn themselves. They tattoo tt their faces, put rings in their noses, cuyl, oil and put gold dust on their hair, while the women strive not to be the most beautiful, but to he the most useful to their lord and mas- ter. MESSRS 2 ve Among bodies. ebcntindgts . In civilized countries, nowhere more than in New York, is this process reversed. It is the man’s business to be useful, to work hard and to produce the money for the women to spend on their adorn- ments. The competition is not among men for the favor of women, but among women for the favor of men and for the envy of other women. ESS: Sane —s without spoiling her clothes. She cannot cook, or was! nurse babies. She can much less milk a cow, or work help gather the crops. To do any of these things she must dress simply like a working man. Boiled down, this is a conclusive argur ax -52 t that women in New York 1 me are the superior sex, because all through the history of the world it has 4 always been the inferior sex which toiled in disregard of its loo : always the superior sex which adorned itself with the results of the in- ag) ferior sex’s lator. tet . ‘4 ly «Anyhow, why should not a lux nt growt eroxided te as beautiful in the form of whis: =e celled and as on the top of the Letters {rom ‘the F People.
