WHERE LS MANLY VIGOR? SPECIALIST,SYS CRITICISM. MELBOURNE, Nov. .17.—T0-day a Collin,s-strect specialist minced no words in denouncing the “beauty man” who had a bouquet tnrown at him in Sydney yesterday by two ladies. “The modern man is prettier than ever before,” said the specialist. “But that, is Ills shame. He dresses better, gives more allentiou to li is appearance, and uses the arts and crafts of women to aid liis'prcttiness. “But where is manly vigor, wellproportioned, clearly-moulded lot m, (dear eye and firm llesli in the softened youth of to-day? Look,, at the types on the Block or on the racecourse. Where is the dominant type, strongly-moulded, healthy and vigorous, of 20 or even of 10 years ago?
