BLACK BEAUTIES
FACIAL DISTORTIONS BANNED. THREAT OF IMPRISONMENT, (Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright.) PARIS, May IG. , (Received May 17, at 10 p.m.) The Minister of the Colonics has decided that the disfigurement of the black beauties in the French colonics must cease. In the past negressos have submitted to nose-piercing, tecth-filling, and lip-end distortion in order to conform to the standard of beauty; but from now on women patronising native beauty specialists will be liable to imprisonment for five years, and the specialist to 10 years’ penal servitude.—A.P.A. and Sydney Sun Cable.
