being the French for cherry, and cher
nv being the tint that the members con-
sidered most beautiful for the locks.
Thomas Holmes, the originator of the
club, says that for long time the red
haired people of Trenton have lacked
cohesion. They tacitly admitted that
the color of their hair was n misfortune,
and they lived out their lives more or
less In solitude, worrying about the
matter.
But Mr.. Holmes says the time has
come when they mean to hold up their
heads, red hair and all, proudly In the
community.
They will begin, they declare, WITH n
red haired beauty show, at which the
prettiest members of the club will be
placed ON view, to prove to the com
munity the artistic qualities Of their
locks.
