MAX o'RELL ON BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.
The ideal beautiful woman Of the paint
ers is blonde, Eve, Venus. Helen of
: Troy, all the celebrated beauties OF anti
guilty and mythology are invariably rep
resented as blondes. Only Cleopatra es-
capped it.
The reason is, no doubt, that the very
coloring of the blonde, her fair, white
skin, her light blue OF gray eyes. sug-
gest in her the possession, the embodi-
ment OF all that is womanly. The blonde
is the woman par excellence.
\ Some people declare that blonde appeal
to the imagination, to the heart and to
the soul, and brunettes to the senses /;
that the former are sentimental, sweet,
modest, good tempered, obedient, angel
ical, where brunettes are strong minded,
assertive, conceited, quick tempered, pas
sionate, often revengeful and sometimes
devilish.
l have known brunettes to be perfect
angels, and sweet blondes to be perfect
little devils, and so have we all.
However this may be, most women de-
sire to be blondes, and the proof OF it
Is that, whereas a blonde never dyes her
hair black many brunettes dye theirs
gold, blond cendre. light mahogany and
other hues OF the blonde family. On the
stage the ladies OF the ballet and the
chorus wear blond wigs, and the only
possible reason to give for this is that
managers believe they will look more at
tractive to the audience as blondes than
as brunettes.
In the modern melodrama the ingenue
Is blonde and the adventures or yillainess
is dark, especially in England and Amer
lea, where every member of the cast
has to be well labelled from the begin
ming. If the villainess were blonde the
audience would take her for the heroine,
and things would get terribly mixed. The
gallery would no more understand blonde
villainess than they could take for a
villain a man who did not wear a chin
ney-top hat and patent leather boots,
smoke a cigarette, squintaall the time to
the right and to the left, and hiss like a
snake every time he took breath.
Poets are quite as partial as artists to
blondes. Alfred de Musset sang of her
who was blonde CONNIE les bles. Pc
trach's sonnets we're addressed to the
blonde and blue-eyed Laura. The ancient
Greeks used to call young blondes chill
blondes especially appeal to the men of
the South on account of their rarity.
Large dreamy. blue eyes, fair and soft
skin. dainty features, slender figure, such
are the characteristics Of the blonde
which helm to make her the ideal young
girl: but there is another beauty besides
that Of the young girl-it is the beauty
OF the full grown woman Of thirty TO Tor
