Many Perfect BLONDES Among Them O.
trsdict . General Belief
We are not hidebound nor narrow
minded in our admiration for female
beauty. The fair and the dark, the
blondes and brunettes. all have their
special charms and admirable points.
Besides the beauty Of feature and color
there Is also a spiritual and intellectual
beauty which is quite as potent as the
other. In the presence Of o pure and
lovely soul or a sparkling intellect and a
d~elighting disposition, n may be 30
completely enchanted as to be utterly
blind to material things. But whatever
may be u liberality in matters of love
and admiration for the beautiful sex, and
we recognize their claims without regard
to the chronological or geographical limits,
we are bound to reserve a special homage
for our own southern women, and We
are moved to this by the following tribute

Girl" This is her verdict:
MANY of our northern friends picture
all creoles with dark, swarthy skins, hair
black as the ravens wing and eyes Of
ebon darkness. Now, this is altogether
an rroneous fancy. Why, some of the
girls have lily white compilations, golden
locks and eyes Of heavens own blue! In
the little village where l live there are
four sisters, all of the purest blonde type,
and it would be difficult to find anywhere
in the wide world fairer, sweeter, lovelier
maidens than they. Whenever 1 read OF

which sometimes surround me; and truly
she is fair vision to gaze upon. sitting
where the sun shines full upon her, re-
vealing the CLINT of gold in her wavy
brown hair, which ripples above a broad,
fair brow. Her pearly cheeks are slightly
tinged by the suns kisses, and her eyes
Of 'p~assionless, peaceful blue are gazing
tenderly upon me, utterly unconscious OF
her own picturesque loveliness. The mind
of this gentle girl is as pure and bright as
her face. Altogether she is one Of earth's
fairest flowers.

are usually dainty and refined, sensitive
and sympathetic, light hearted and sunny

they pay to old age is truly something &c

by many Of my American sisters. A
creole girl rarely ever sullies her lip
