THE NAPE OF THE NECK.

Woman's Glory ” Is Sometimes Something Other than Her Hair. There are no more graceful curves in a woman’s body than those which start from the nape of the neck. There is an artist in New York in whose pictures almost invariably appears a female figure so posed as to bring out some one of these charming lines. He turns his model back to him, and sketches

with only a glimpse of face, just where the curve of cheek breaks to the fullness of chin, or he puts a world of coquetry into glandes, whioh one must fancy accompanied by bird-like chirpings over the shoulder. He delights in the white column of a Juno or the clear-modeled, fine reserve of a fugitive nymph, but always he starts with the back of the neck, and tho rest comes as best mav. The back of the neck is not only beautiful, it is healthily beautiful.
