Will *— l your face stand the test of the “Kallometer.” Here is where eold science has the last word —as in many other matters; for the in ventor of this instrument has proved that cold science and glowing aes thetics can agree, that the face which the trained artist’s eye recog nizes as beautiful is really scientifi cally beautiful Maybe you are pretty, maybe you are charming maybe you are irre sistible You may be all those and yet lack beauty. Prettiness, even Irresistible charm may, and often do, exist in spite of irregular fea tures —nose, mouth, chin and eyes out of proportion in size and in as symmetrical relation to each other. But beauty means regularity, pro portion. symmetry—and by applying the Kallometer to your face and looking in a mirror you will know Immediately whether or not you possess it. This ingenious device —which is pictured on this page as applied to several typical faces —may be con structed by anyone It is merely a wooden frame having the width and height of a normal human face, in which cross-bars are placed to fix definite points of measurement from the top of the forehead to the tip of the chin The intervals between these cross bars are established by the Kallo meter’s inventor--Professor William Barnes Fotheringham—to conform to the accepted classical standard of facial beauty, slightly modified by his years of study of recognized liv ing beauty types The starting point is a horizontal line drawn through the pupils of the eyes. This fixes the location of the Kallometer’s middle bar. The next bar below fixes the point, of the end of the nose where the nostril opens—the distance from the pupil of the eye is exactly one and sevefi-eighths inches. From the nos tril opening to the mean line of the mouth, lips closed, shows the length of the upper lip —three-quarters of an inch —and fixes the position of the third cross-bar. From the mean line of the mouth to the bottom of the chin is exactly two inches, fixed by the bottom of the Kallometer’s frame. Five-eighths of an inch be low the mouth line is placed a bar to indicate the hollow where the un der lip joins the chin. Three-quarters of an inch above the horizontal of the eye-pupils is a bar which properly locates the eye brow.

Fitting it to your face, with the middle bar on a line wit a the pupils of your eyes, and direct ing your level gaze into a mirror, you will discover how far you fall short of true beauty The experiment will need some courage, for Professor Fotheringham declares that true facial beauty exists in only "one or two persons out of a million ” Although measurements of the width of the face are comparatively less important, the professor has es tablished a vertical as well as a horizontal index This fixes the width of lhe normal face at. five and a half inches, measured at a point just below .the ear The eyes should be two and three-eighth's inches apart. But it is admitted that where the horizontal lines exist as estab lished in the Kallometer the width of beauty-type, faces may vary con siderably. It is the length of nose, upper lip and chin that matter most On this page are shown at least two beauty types that need have no dread of the Kallometer test The faces of both Maxine Elliot and Lil Ilan Russell —which bear no re semblance to each other —reach the maximum of one hundred per cent In these cases the Kallometer cor roborates the popular impression that both of these faces are truly beautiful Another sac still another beauty-type —that meets the Kallo meter test perfectly is that of a favorite artists’ and photographers model, and still another that of Mlle Lantelme, the famous Paris stag beauty, who not long ago met such a tragic death while houseboating on the River Rhine —although, in the case of Lantelme, the chin is just a trifle short of the ideal. Probably artists and beauty con noisseurs, and other readers of this page will feel greatly relieved to find that science, as represented by Pro fessor Fotheringham’s Kallometer not only does not overthrow their living beauty idols, but actually sup ports the artistic and popular con ception. But where the Kallometer ruth lessly denies the possession of beauty in notable instances where it has been claimed, there is still plenty of consolation.

For example, Gaby Deslys. Gaby’s charm has vanquished the people of two continents. She is the Parisian ideal of what is chic, pi quant. seductive really unique among feminine charmers. But ap ply the Kallometer to heT face and see how she fares' Nose too long, upper lip too short, chin too short, forehead too narrow, eyes too far apart It cannot be denied —Gaby is far from beautiful! Not only her face, but her figure, too. fails to measure up to beauty standards. Her arms and legs are too long, and she carries an un beautiful amount of tissue about the hips and calves But for all this, don’t imagine that Gaby will swear out a writ of injunction against the terrible Kallometer. On the contrary, she will smile, shake her locks saucily and issue an amiable challenge to any and all Kallometer beauties to come into the lists with her where the palm is for what, really matters—charm! Quite a number of world-famous "beauties” of the stage and of fashionable society when they ap ply the Kallometer to their lovely faces will find themseves In need of the kind of consolation enjoyed bv Gabv Deslys They meet the scientific test nearly enough to come under the beauty classification, yet their shortcomings are plainly indi cat pd.

Almost th? same deficiency is noted in the sac? of that celebrated English "beauty’ Lady Marjorie Manners. The ef fect is really worse, owing to th? unusual breadth of the chin. Genius in both sexes is prove?, bially lacking in beauty. Consider the face of Elizabeth Barrett Browning as measured by the Kal lometer. It is a face full of charm, but the upper lip is much too short, and not only is the chin too short but too narrow George Eliot, the celebrated English novelist has been quoted as admitting that she had a ‘‘face like a horse,” with its long nose and its grotesquely elongated chin. Yet the attractions pos sessed by both of these great wom en were freely admitted ny al) who met them. In the course of his researched which led Professor Fotheringham to devise a universal measure of facial beauty types, he reached some very interesting conclusions. Although no one of a thousand beautiful faces may seem to bear any resemblance to any other of the thousand, yet all of them conform to the Kallometer measurements of features. The 'nity of these measurements persists in all groups of faces, grouped as to general contour, as broad, narrow, oval, pear-shaped, etc. Racial charac teristics, so apparent to any ob. serving eye, have no bearing oa the results of the Kallometer test Don’t be afraid of the Kallome ter. Possibly, if through its habit ual application to your own face and the faces of members of your family, you and they discover, and keep ip mind facial deficiencies that exist now, future generation? may be inspired to do better!
