The Physique of Angle -Saxon Gale -

improving physique of the Anglo•Saxon
girls. Whatever class may be made the

fail to attract attention is tho remarkable
predominance of tall and divinely fair girls

and the observer make Itis witiy into the
ball -rem of middle-class persons, the same
prevailing " tallness'' of the fair dancers
will again meet his gaze. Thus abundant
