Red-haired women, says the Woman's
Home Companion, are ardent and viva
oious, especially if with it they have hazel
eyes, in which case they have bright
| and quick intelligence. They have great
deal of natural felicity for study, and good
memories. Red hair with blue eyes SHOWS
the same warmth of character, but not SO
much intelligence; bright golden hair, of
rich, deep color and of a crisp and waving
texture, growing thickly on the head and
somewhat low on the brow, shows an
ardent, poetic and somewhat artistic tenn
permanent 1t is the signature of Apollo,
the sun. People with red-brown hair when
is very thick, and redder over the ears
and al the temples than on the head, are

hair gives sense of color in painters, force
| of language and eloquence in poets, and
power in musical compositions
A lovely New Orleans woman, says the
| New Orleans Times-Democrat, who now
! considers herself in residence at New YORK
| city, folds to her love of Southern GUS
| toms and people and win never consider
! anything in her Northern surroundings
quite equal to conditions hereabout She
| was walking down Fifth avenue fort
night ago with a friend and commenting
literally upon the yulgarity and loudness
of metropolitan life as compared with
| the gentility and refinement of New Or
| leans folk. Nov, see there" she said
by way of illustration, directing her
| friends attention to a very swell auto
mobile coming toward them at fun speed
lone never sees automobiles in New Or
leans; the dear Southern people do not
care for these ridiculous, expensive and
| and snowy innovations. There is no
| sense in it, end it is merely to attract at
| tention that they are used here The
| ah-the person who is manipulating the
| affair-how conspicuous he is in that out
| fit. And as for the woman with him,
where is the Southern woman who would
| allow her tailor to put upon her an Eng
lsh box coat in that loud tan-and, oh,
dear, what snowy hat! The vulgar pair
| are evidently out on parade, being infect
ed with the spirit of New York, which is
| avarice, display and the hope of outdoing
ones neighbor." But, my dear" an

Miss Utica Welles. says the New York
| World is the first American woman law
yer-probaby the first of any nationality
to kiss the hand of Queen Victoria.
She is a graduate of the Law School of
the University of the City of New York,
a grandniece of Lady Cook, formerly Ten
ME c. Cl1flin, and a descendant of Gov.
! Welles.
IL may have been a new experience for
Her Majesty to encounter a member of
her own sex learned in the mice, sharp
outlets of the law" Women lawyers are
not so plentiful in England as they are
here. There they would call Miss Welles

Utica Welles did not inherit her fathers
tastes. Art had fewer charms for her than
logic. Roman law appealed to her as a
finer product of the human brain than
Greek sculpture. Mere beauty did not
captivate her fancy. She demanded strong
Intellectual food.
Her father, recognizing reluctantly that
her mind was of another kin than his
own, permitted her to crafty her ambi-
ton by studying law. In this field she
won his admiration in spite of himself.
for she passed her examination with fying

on the same evening, one to a woman and
one to man. The woman, says the New.
York Times, was an intimate friend. a~I

had to correspond with him upon matters
more or less of a business nature. but
naturally there was some difference in
the tone of the letters. They were both

But the letter the man received was diff
ferent. He had seen enough of the writ
