How MANY black-haired women do
you know? II you will take the trouble
to count you will find that out of ten
women you meet nine will have blonde
hair Of some shade and the tenth will
possess dark brown rather than black.
The tendency Of the times seems to bo
towards light-haired women; but we
don't mean the ones whose hair is made
light by the use of peroxide Of hydro.
ger. Scientists tell us that as nation
grows more civilized its women grow
more perfectly blonde, and students In
the mysteries OF love say that the
blonde women are the most affectionate
wives.
