trimmings had to make them a red
badge OF courage. The brighter the
hair the brighter the halo she deserved
TO get by way of exchange.
Now she acts as if she didn't think
that any halo could be better than the
aureole OF her sunny locks. She wears
them as proudly as the Frenchman
wears the scarlet of the Legion OF
Honor
There are people, though, who don't
seem to have found this out. One Of
this benighted class made a statement
not long ago that people who adopt
foundlings always specify that they
don't want red-headed children. This
slur upon the popularity Of red hair
wasn't to be meekly borne by those
most concerned, especially as they have
never been conspicuous for meekness
anyway So the sisters in charge OF a
large founding asylum, which has
placed hundreds of children Of all
tints Of capillary coloring, were ap-
pealed to for facts.
The sisters declared that there was
no truth in this invidious reflection on
red hair They said that some appli- |
cants display positive yearning for a
waif of the red-headed description.
When it comes to hair, these people
have the well-known masculine fond
ness for amy color, so it's red.
AS for character, the sisters give the
best sort to the red-haired children
they have dealt with According tOI
them, the little heads are as bright in
side as outside. AS for their tempers
being as fiery as their locks, that rule
is buried under the multitude Of the
exceptions.
IF people with black hair were
teased and u)rmented and taunted.

looking with open admiration at tbs

"To me? Certainly. It wasn't until

the almost incredible discovery that
there were strange beings called artlsts
who actually admired my hair. 1t was
like being bern again, into a new and
kinder world, when red hair became
the fashion.
But you know children keep the
same standards from generation to gen.
Grafton It's very queer about them
They play the same fads that they
have had for a century and, in some
cases, as we positively know. for sew
RTal centuries. So haven't a doubt that
the red-headed child of to-day has the
same old piUiful teasing to endure, es
pecially II she lives in a small town.
In the cities, grown-up persecution
has practically ceased. The almost in

Another reason for the change
