There is discussion afoot concerning the
oolor of Elizabeth Barrett Brownine's hair.
Hawthorn spoke Of cher black ringlets," and
Bayard Taylor of her "soft chestnut curls."
Now, John Bigelow writes to The Critic that
he saw her in Rome in 1859, the time. Proba-
bly,, when Hawthorn met her first, and that
her hair, which did not curl naturally, but was
made to do so, in "side ring'ets," was .of a
dark chestnut; And at the same time an
other gentleman, who says he knew her we'll,
during seven years sojourn IN Italy, declares
that her hair twas not what is ordinarily called
chestnut, at ALL" but that it was clark brown.
almost black" And what hue, then, are we
to decide upon?
