THE ADVANTAGES OF
BEING RED. HEADED
Girls With Fiery Locks Are in
Demand in the Matrimonial
Market-An Old Maid Is I'm
known Among Them.

| known Among Them. /
In the matrimonial market the fav-
orite hue for hair is red-not auburn,
but red of an ,ncompromising shade,
that glints in the sunlight and warns
the heart with it's radiance.
At least, such would seem to be the
case, for a red-headed old maid is al
most unknown.
AS a wife, girl with bright locks
according to many a man who has
married a red-headed woman. She
makes her home a bright, happy place.
She is hearted, affectionate and
demonstrative. She is buoyant in spir-
it's, her nature being as bright as her
HAIR. She is ambitious and, as a rule,
she is cleverer than her dark-haired
sister The brighter her hair, the
cleverer she is. OF course, there are
exceptions to this rule, but they only
prove the rule.
Another reason why she of the cop

nation for man that she is never left
to pine in solemn singleness, is that
she is apt to be good cook and a good
dressmaker.
Her taste in clothes, however, is not
always of the best. She has a leaning
to bright colors. although she looks
best in black or white, which she sell
dom chooses. .t,t
Her taste in clothes, however, is not
always of the best. She has leaning
to bright colors, although she looks
best in black or white, which she sell
dom chooses.
Not only does she like bright shades,
but odd conceits in gowns and Snowy
jewelry.
She IS not the woman who enjoys
dark grand rooms, She prefers sun
light, freight and bright-colored rugs,
hangings and upholstery. She is sell
dom prim; in fact, while cleanly she
is not often orderly.
While she often has the gifts CT
rhyming and versification, she is apt
to be good mathematician and to
keep the family accounts square.
Men who know all this from expe-
rience declare that it is pity that the
supply of red-haired women is not
greater. AS a matter of fact, 1t is very
limited. Only one woman in forty
with hair of shades of Titan red ex-
lists in civilized countries.
In Spain, for example, a woman
with red hair, is so seldom seen as to
be considered a great beauty, no mat
ter 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 regarded
with wonder akin to awe. In New
Zealand a red-haired woman is con-
sidered as on the right road to Para
disc.
On the other hand. in Egypt the
red head is regarded with aversion.
The ancient Egyptians were so vio-
lently opposed to hair of this tone
that once a year they burned a mai
den who possessed bright locks, in
the hope of exterminating or lessen
ing what they considered a curse.
Sentiment aside. people of the car
rot-head type have vast advantage.
They are less liable to badness than
those who own brown or black hair
The reason thereof that one red
hair is as thick as three dark hairs
With 10000 red hairs the scalp is wen
matched. With the same number CT
dark hairs a person is almost bald.
The brunette belle has to comb and
brush is 100000
For the benefit of any young woman
who wishes TO turn her black hair into
the more fashionable and desirable red
hue, it may be said that each hair
must be treated separately, first with
one thing and then with another, and
that the process is so slow and elab-
crate, if it is done in scientific man
ner, that one would think Nelson
Ter, instead of a hair dyer, were at
work on one of his delicate little stud
les. If done in less careful manner,
milady may appear with hair having
various shades of red in it from the
gold to copper.
AS to red hair in the masculine mat
rimonial market, in Munich a club of
girls has been formed, the members
of which pledge themselves to die old
maids rather than marry any but
Young men with red hair. They are
under the deiusion that the most de-
ivctad of husbands have fiery top
knots. They are certainly more ener-
getic and pushing, and their TINT OF
hair often has direct bearing on
their calling and careers presumably
affecting their success in life
In support of this statement, a be-
wildering mass of statistics has been
set forth showing how fair men in
humble life incline toward occupations
connected with horses and cattle, while
fair men Of higher status become po-
ltical agitators. men of science, ar
lists and lawyers.
The men who recruit the aristocracy
are mostly those on whom nature has
bestowed rudy or at least straw-col-
ored locks.
