Variation #21: Eve Wylden
TEXT:
“Beautiful girls make the best wives….
We need to educate our boys to know real beauty, to go beneath the paint and powder and look at features, the shape of the face, the poise of the head. We ought to teach them to know real beauty like a horse man knows a thoroughbred.
When a woman has a beautiful face and figure, she is sure to be healthy and intelligent. Beautiful figures are becoming obsolete to-day and a real beauty is as rare as genius. There is only one beautiful woman in every four thousand.
The very slim, boyish figure, so much desired by the girls of to-day who are willing to suffer endless dieting, is not beautiful. The trouble is that fathers and mothers have tried to make their offspring look for other qualities first and to leave beauty alone, till, simply from ignorance, the saying ‘Beautiful but Dumb’ has sprung up and persisted.”
Another failing is that the beautiful young women of this generation do not desire to become mothers and it is largely the biologically unfit who are having children.”
Professor Albert Edward Wiggam
