"The guests THE rere Scent IDEAL PHYSIQUE. -- Few Have The Measurements Of Periect Proportions. New York, March 14--""The tailo: who spends his life in taking human measurements could probably tell' an interesting story about the decline of men and women," said a man who takes a deep' interest in physical cul tore and other processes tending to arrest deteriorating conditions. *] dbubt if the measurements token hy tailors will show many perfect men and women. Too many ines are wear ing HM collars and too many women are short on waist dimensions. | was glancing through Fourman's book a few days ago, and I was struck hy the dimensions agreed upon hy the best and most authentic authorities fof physical perfection in both man and woman. Take the measurements for instance of the perfectly propor. tioned man, with a height of 6 feet finches: girth of chest, '46 inches: girth of waist, 38 inches; length of upper deg, 174 inches; length of Jower leg, 144 inches: largest girth of thigh, 2 inches; girth of calf, 16 inches; lengt of arm, 26 inches, and weight 190 Jone Go to, the tailor and ask him how many men come Up to this stan dard. I imagine that one would spend much time before finding the perfect physical conditions in conjunction in a single man. "The fact of the business is, that thest proportions are the result of idealistic theorizing. A man would he perléet, wv physically, who could even sho a reasonable apyroxima- tion of this standard. Onr tailor's re cords would probably "disappoint us badly, and we would likely become confirmed believers in 'the doctrine of Jlivaical degeneracy in so far as mem pers of onr sex is concerned. Mén has been dwindling somewhat even in the range of one's own memory. One need not got to the tailor's nor to the vast wealth of statistics which have heen compiled by persons who take peeu- liar interest in man's physical as. pect. One is conscious of being small- er than one's father, and less robust, and lacking in that hardiness of tem perament found in the sire and grand sire. Yet the tailor's record will pro- bably show a few isolated instances where men have preserved the propor tions found in the physical measure ments of the perfect man. And this, after all, is the goal toward which physical eulture is drifting. Tt is not ¢o mwch a question of larger men in stature, but rather 'a question of men more perfectly balanced physical: Jly<mien whose parts will approximate at least the equilibrium found in the perfect measurements of the physical culture doetinaire. 1f one mnst weigh 190 pounds , and stand dp to a height f over six feet, one might as well give up on the start. But one may at least approximate the ideal proportions, and this is what physi- cal culture proposes to do." EUPIRIDES SPOKE OF IT. ------ The Worship of Sport Attacked in i. Early Times.
