In the matrimonial market the favorite
hue for hair is red-not auburn, but red of
an uncompromising shade, that glints in
the sunlight and warns the heart with its
radiance. AT least, such would seem to
be the case, for a red-headed old maid is
almost unknown.
AS wife, a girl with bright locks is a
success, If you catch mild one, according
to many man who has married red
headed woman. She makes her home a
bright, happy place. She is warm-hearted,
affectionate, and demonstrative. She is
buoyant in spirits, her nature being as
bright her hair. She is ambitious and,
as rule, she is cleverer than her dark

of red-haired women is not greater. As a.
matter OF fact, IL is very limited. Only one
woman in forty with hair OF shades of

In Spain, for example. a woman with
red hair is so seldom seen as TO be consid-
cred a great beauty, no matter what her
complexion, the shape of her nose or the
tone OF her voice. In China they have
no bright-haired women, or so few that
one with brightly cleaning locks is
garded with wonder akin TO awe. In New
Zealand red-haired woman is considered
as on the right road 20 Paradise.
