Beauty Five Centuries Ago.
They have dug up an old beauty
book in Italy, published BOO years ago,
which laid down the following rules of
the game:
“To be beautiful,” says the work,
“the women must have the following:
Three white things—skin, hands and
teeth. Three black things—eyes, eye
lashes and eyebrows. Three pink
hings—lips, gums and nalls,. Three
long things—Ilife, hands and halr.
Three short things--teeth, ears and
tongue. Three wide things—forehead,
shoulders and intelligence. Three nar-
row things—walist, mouth and ankle
Three delicate things—fingers, lips and
mind. Three round things-arm, leg
and dowry.”
Things haven't changed so much In
five centuries, have they? Or, let us
say, that woman's beauty is Immortal
and immutable.~Albany Times-Union.
